Hey good people,
Just thought I'd post some pics of my Neve 1272 I've just finished.
I went with JC's design after seeing khstudio's build. It looked like the easiest way for me to get some sort of Neve happening.
I took my time, was ultra careful....and it worked first time....Love it when that happens.
Here's the usual pics.
Lets start with a home etch of the board. The Layout was great for making this at home. No real fiddly tracks or anything like that.
A bit of a fuzzy pic, but at least you can see who's layout this is.
Ok, I need some bits.......looky what we have here :wink:
Ok, we're partway stuffed.
The heatsink was quite big, so I had to mount some bits underneath. Again a bit fuzzy.......... :roll:
Lets wire her up, and put her in a rack. I had some space next to my two JLM 99v pre's. I went with the JLM for the output transformer too
And another shot
So now I've finally heard what a Neve sounds like.... :green:
The high end is not as open as the 99v's but that seems to round vocals out nicely. Most of you have heard more Neves than I ever will, so I wont spend all day here trying to decribe it.
The only issue I've run into is sometimes if you unplug a mic, or if you plug one in while the pre is on, you get a sound like white noise or pink noise........ :? ........But if you plug in the mic before you turn on the pre eveything is sweet.
So thanks to Joel for making a great layout and Kevin for a great thread with some informative pics. :thumb:
