I’ve got a very bad case of G.A.S. that is causing me to build my dream rig. I used to have a Keeley C4 and really liked it, so Aurora seemed a natural choice. The 125B version is a PCB that’s based off the available LM13700 chip.
I’ve never soldered a PCB before but have decent experience with a soldering iron, so I think I’ll be OK. I’m tired of being afraid to work on PCBs. I already have dual channel, high gain tube preamp so no need for drive pedal otherwise I’d start there.
I like that this kit recommends metal film resistors which are used in higher quality audio products. I don’t know what other components (caps) make sense to change, but if there are suggestions I’m all for them as I’m a bit of a tone snob.
The intended use is to go after pre-amp and any drive pedals. This allows the volume knob to control gain/drive but keeps overall volume about the same. Turning off the compressor gives additional ‘boost’ if needed. Clean tone is very important to me, FWIW.
