I'll make sure you get some clips, drumsound . But I won't subject you to any further photos. If I remember correctly, you're not a fan of the design or the creme/brass combo. But I think the all chRome Bomblet looks AWESOME! Even better on a Chromebook! Had to beat Chris to it!

I just picked up a second Great River MP-500NV mic pre for my 500 series rack. Now I have stereo-ness for the Great River format. Still waiting on the SSL UVEQ from Sweetwater. They predict they will be available towards the end of the month. I ordered it the first week of January and they told me 2 or 3 months. Hopefully they will be on schedule.

Demoing. Notice anything different? Hoping to share some clips. SNIP
I'll be quite interested in hearing these. Stop spending my money!!! I still have to pay for my 251!

No personalization. A great practice amp, however I can see studio use also. Being MR.MOD I already replaced the speakers with a pair of 4" coaxial speakers. More high end but a little less volume. SO, I ordered the 70 watt IC chip from Mouser. I'll have to see if I attempt the SMD world. Haha... when you're modding a desktop smart amp, you officially have a problem! This looks really cool by the way. How well does the smart Jam thing work? I can see that being really fun.

Man I still love and use my trusty SX202. Great preamps. The Symetrix were a nice option for a quiet clean better than what was found in a mid priced console. It’s not a Millmedia, but for what they are going for a bargain. Oh I once thought about building a hybrid console of a decent line mixer and a rack of Symetrix 528e’ ch strips. I replaced the SSM2015's in mine with a pair of Jim Williams' PIP modules. Extremely clean, lots of "air". An inexpensive upgrade. No affiliation.

I’ve slowly been chipping away at populating these insert and direct out PCBs for my Auditronics. Guess the DIP8 version of one of line drivers isn’t available so had to go SMD. Man, making these little adapter boards makes this take 5 times as long. Oh well.

After tweaking a set of Clair 12AM inspired wedges (1in instead of 2in compression drivers) using EV 12’s ( as found in many 12AM’s and replacing the cheap Chinese 1in with Emilar, they really need a lot of DSP to sound their best so the owners considering buying my BSS Soundweb 9088iis’s because he’s broke and his DBX Driverack PA’s just don’t cut it. I’m taking a flyer on a Soundweb Blu80. Why well first more DSP horse power, better conversion, Cobranet ( have cards for the DM1000 & thinking E-snake), the ability to run both control and Cobranet over same cat5 plus IPAD app for control. I do like the idea of being able to run without going through an extra AD and DA plus if I like it as much as I prefer Analog Graphics the idea that I can have 4 graphics at FOH plus Parametrics and dynamics in 1 rack U and control it from anywhere via IPad I figure the only real dangers are I will want to upgrade to all new Blu 800’s with AES and better conversion at the AmP racks! I just tossed a Carver 2.0t in the back of my truck that came out of a Clair 12AM rack, setting up a pit orchestra monitor rig for this weekend's rehearsals. My old DM2000 > Cobranet > Blu80 rig did indeed have touch screen control of 5 band parametrics with integrated metering on each monitor mix. I loved it, but all the guest engineers asked me to patch the FCS-960s in the side rack across each mix, then it was death to 100...

Yeah Zi completely get it if I’m mixing monitors on someone else’s rig I want analog graphics on monitors for the simple quick grab, but on my own rig I can live with a tablet or touch screen.

Just unwrapped this. I’ll be able to plug it in later tonight. Meanwhile, it can sit here on my desk at the office to distract me from the work I should be doing. Looks excellent, thanks Chad!

The lowly orig Rode NT2. $100, looks new in the case. Someone had it with them on a session. Yeah, that’s a lot of air. Those things are u67/87 type capsules but no built in treble compensation, no wonder they’re so bright. Did the compensation mod, 2 resistors and a cap. Seems ok, we’ll see, will shoot against the TLM67.

Jim Williams designed the circuit for that microphone and he posted several other mods, I bet if you emailed him he’d give you a run down if you want to take it further

Reducing polarization voltage looks like the #1 additional option. Funny I don't think I've seen him address the lack of treble compensation anywhere, maybe he digs the high boost?

From an old Jim post: to cure the excessive k-87 capsule's 12k hz peaks, I changed the 470 pf roll-off caps and ended up with 3300 pf. That tamed the 12k peaks and gave the mic a very U-87'ish quality I'm enjoying.

Here’s the Signal Art U47 premium edition in action: King of the Inevitable (rough)Five stars. This mic does that thing. Not sure if there’s a word for it, but this microphone sounds right and good and elevates whatever is going through it. Thank you Chad!

The Heiserman H47 is incredible in its detail. I love it on a female alto voice especially. The SAE48 sounds more like a 48 in how it flatters a male voice. It really flatters a male voice.
