I’ve built a Gyraf clone of the legendary UREI 1176LN compressor unit. Check out Jakob Erland’s (Gyraf Audio)page for more information here.

My first test of the unit after calibration
G1176LN Front
CALIBRATION:
The calibration guides online are differing in quite substantial ways, and I’ve yet to find a specific mnats Rev J-guide, so I made one based on AXT Systems’ guide with some additional comments that I feel are necessary for the mnats rev. J. Download the guide here.
SOURCES:
mnats.net – Mako Natsume’s page regarding 1176 building. Great site with info regarding cabling etc.
prodigy-pro.net – The ‘All things G1176 – the new “repost” thread’. Lots of information and Q/A
axtsystems.com – Fantastic G1176LN-build by AXT Systems
PARTS LIST:
mnats Rev J PCB – Prodigy Pro Board (directly from Mako Natsume)
Components and knobs – ELFA and eBay
19″ 2U enclosure – Evenstad Musikk (ordered a specific 2U enclosure via email)
8037 VU Meter – Hairball Audio
Shielded cable for internal cabling – Clas Ohlson (Pretty lo-fi, but it works like a charm!)
have you considered making a dual setting distortion pedal:
1) solid state
2) tube like a triple rectifier
with some knobs for shape? feedback?
thanks
