New Modular Analog Saturator?

[Frak]

Saw this come up in my YouTube feed today from the guys at DIY Recording... what do you guys think?
I think its an interesting idea - considering grabbing one, but I thought I'd get everyone's opinions first.

Sounds like a good idea, and the price is very nice. Depending on how these things sound, I could imagine them becoming a standard set-and-forget option on every mix.

I don't think there are any samples on their site yet though? I'm guessing those will be added in the near future.

Amazing. Now I know what I need in my need-to-buy list.

What?
the youtube starting pic is priceless

Cool stuff, looks very interesting, depending on the price there's pretty much no reason(except the DIY of course) not to try it, if you own a lunchbox.

Ah, I saw the price. Cool.

Pretty awesome. Deff goin on my "Things to buy in 2014" list, along with a pair of WA76s!

Yeah, I think if I heard an A/B that sounded great, I'd be sold.

Sounds awesome. I'll just keep running shit back out into my preamps though I think.

This looks fucking promising!
Too bad, that I suck ass at soldering..

Practice, Practice, Practice! It's a great skill to get good at! In the last 2 months alone i've probably spent 40+ hours soldering haha, but i've got a compressor and lots of cables out of it! (and a mic pre in development)

Hm.. Good idea, I've got a few broken cables lying around here..

I think they'll be selling a pre-assembled version for $100ish more if I'm not mistaken. I'm personally okay at soldering, but I might just make the investment to get a piece of gear I know will work from the get go, as this seems like it'd be more complex to rig together than my (fantastic) reamp box I got from them.

Jup, that's what I understood too. The last option on the price list was an assembled version.

I suck at DIY stuff too, but it's something I've wanted to practice for a while now. The amount of overhead it can save is hard to ignore. I'll just have to find the right moment for it.

Looks awesome! I wish there were sound samples. I'd drop $100

They have uploaded samples to their page http://www.diyrecordingequipment.com/colour-pre-order/ The iron transformer sounds amazing! Not so sure about the others, not really my taste I guess. If somebody would create authentic sounding console colors this thing would explode! Great concept and even the fully assembled module is very affordable for being a 500 module.

I will give this one a bump. I got a hold of Peterson and will be manufacturing aftermarket Colour modules (on behalf of Corvus Audio of course ) that should hopefully be available as soon as Colour is launched.

This looks fucking promising!

EDIT: I am an idiot. Yeah learn to solder, its a great skill to have.

Just put my pre order in for this fully assembled. Thinking I might sell some of my Slate plugins if this gives me the vibe in a better way than they do.
