Hey Dave. I had mentioned that I wanted one of these, then held off because I saw you were going to do a second run with a correction. Are you still planning on doing that?

Hey Bill,

The boards actually showed up yesterday.  I am soldering one of them right now to verify it.

The fab messed up the silkscreen a bit, so I am going to slightly discount these.  It won't matter with population because I'll provide a PCB image for reference.

Cool. I'll watch this thread, I'm interested in getting two. My wife wants a compressor too. :)

I'm assuming this is a take on the Keely 4 knob compressor, which of course is a modded Ross. Is this correct?

Yes, although I will confess to not having studied the Keeley extensively.  It was my understanding that all Keeley did was mount replace 2 of the trimpots with potentiometers that could be controlled externally.

Dang! Nice job, I totally missed this build.  :o :o :o

I'm starting to think we need a new subforum where mortal builders (like me) can post pics without the shame of being too near these epic build pics :-[ ;)

Is that box the typical hammond 1590b. Maybe its the picture but it looks a little deeper to me.

Nope. That's a 125B. Barely bigger, but infinitely better than a 1590B. One reason is that you can get full size 1/4" AND DC jacks on the top side. Another is the interior space - taller, deeper and wider.
