Thanks Donner for doing this!



Ditto -- one for sure -- two if there are extras :glasses

Redesigned. :thumbup: Sent in for some protos for both the single and 3 knob versions.

Totally ace design on the PCB. I have not been to this forum for a while so I apologize for not jumping in and helping on this awesome thread. This design could be simplified using a NE5532 instead of two NE5534's, you would not have the comp/bal comp or balance pins but they should not be necessary.

Should I follow this thread or the one in the discussion forum to reserve one and get updates? I hadn't checked this in a few days, hope I didn't miss out.

:laughing7 :confused2

Well in that case, officially count me in for a kit (with enclosure).

I'm worried that with all the places on this site that I've declared I want one, I'm going to end up with 7 of them or something. :mrgreen:

I'd like to give this a try too if there are any left... I'd like the 3 knob version + cherry buster enclosure :mrgreen:

This will be my first DIY so one quick (dumb ass) question.. Are all of the parts and some sort of basic instruction included?
