Building a Mini SSL
im thinking about it very very soon (have been for a long time ha ha ) but ive got some other things to build first, im going to build 2, one fro the drum bus and one for the master bus.
Which BOM and guide are you going to follow and which boards did you buy?

I bought a clone from http://www.facebook.com/primeanalog . Super quality, good support. Lasse recommended him. Builds 1176 clones to.
I think i paid about 750€ for a SSl clone, but contact him for prices etc.

It's the audio kitchen boards, and we're ordering turbo boards as well to make sure it detects properly. been pricing stuff up using the epic BOM from here http://members.cox.net/capstanrecording/SSLCloneParts.pdf
So, on top of those parts, what else do you need? I think I'd like to build one of these pretty soon, haven't done anything like this in a while and i'm pretty bored.

indeed. but id have to pay LOADS for postage and import tax! much as that'd be great!

hey greyskull www.bitsbox.co.uk might satisfy your needs for alot of those components, they're really cheap, postage is about 2 quid and the stuff comes within 2 days. Can highly recommend them, atleast for the basic parts like conductors,chips,resistors etc...
Haha, I know that didn't help much. I'm quite interested in this, though. The studio I work at is even willing to sponsor the build, which is pretty badass.

I've ordered from Mouser to the UK, it's or free for orders over £50 (£12 otherwise). I didn't get any extra tax slapped on, and it came in one day -- UK-based "Rapid" took two days to deliver.
Gyraf recommend ProFusion for the VCA chips.
It kind of depends if the boards are designed for the original dbx202c or the current-production THAT2181, I guess.
Farnell also sell the THAT2181 and 2180.
This is something I've been vaguely thinking of getting 'round to, but looking at the Gyraf schematic I'm thinking I'll slap it together deadbug style instead of using PCBs as I'd rather use transformer balancing or else bootstrapped balanced receiver IC on the inputs and a dedicated line-driver chip on the outs.
The 10k resistor to ground on the +in of the cold outs should by 5k on the Gyraf schem, btw. Oh, and use well-matched resistors and caps in the outputs -- if the output impedance looks different on the hot and cold lines it will degrade common-mode rejection.
Come to think of it those output caps should be referenced to earth at both ends to prevent them developing a charge across them. Shoddy.

Looks like a complete list of everything. Is that not correct?
For under $300, I definitely need to give this a try!:hotjump:
One would think some company would box all the parts, and sell this as a kit for 299 and make a freakin killing!

he's awesome, best support ever.
I bought my 1176 almost a year ago and he's still helping out with any questions.
just having him change the input tranny and he's doing that for super cheap, too.
highly recommended
