wow what a great list!
Just a heads up to whoever moderates this. Purple isnt offering the 76 kit anymore. DANG I wish I had known previously because it wasn't too pricey.
i was looking at the 7th circle before, but having worked on an actual Quad 8 I am leaning towards one or two of those now.

Leslie cab

Post by ultravioletray » Fri Sep 21, 2007 10:32 am

Yeah, a bit nutty, but I'm kind of a DIY freak. Has anyone seen a set of plans for a DIY Leslie? I have heard of home made ones before, usually for guitar.

Like, just to flip polarity on 8 incoming mic lines? You just need a few SPDT switches, a good length of mic cable, some panel mount XLR connectors, an enclosure, and some soldering patience.

It's just a matter of soldering the switch into the path of the audio signal, so that when the switch is flipped, pins 2 and 3 are reversed. You would essentially be soldering it so that the incoming signal lines are soldered to the center posts on the switch, the outgoing signal lines soldered to the pins on one side in the same fashion, and the other end soldered with lines making an X from that end to the other, bypassing the middle. Do that seven more times and you are golden.

(It's late and I've had a few, so if I am not all that clear, or flat out wrong on this, feel free to give me a shout and I can walk you through it in a much less...errr....rambly fashion)

General Guitar Gadgets

They sell stomp box kits. I just ordered my first one from them almost a week ago (may get some time today to start it). It was delivered very fast. Lots of great documentation and links on their site. It seems each month they put a kit or two on sale for 10% off.

Even if you don't buy their kits, you can still get BOM, schems, and wiring diagrams. You can also just buy PCB boards for the projects, or opt to use your own boxes if you do buy kits from them.
