I finally got my LA-2A's done!

All in all it took about two years, doing research on the circuit, sourcing parts, and troubleshooting once they were together, I have to say they sound amazing!

Now I just need to start recording my bass.

Wow, I admire your initiative!

Even though I know it's not the point.....how much does it cost to make one that way?

Congrats... Those are some Knarley LA-2A's.

Let's just say way way less than purchasing an old one and way less than a new one. I can't really say that mine sound exactly the same as the original, but I can say that they do sound amazing!

That is awesome.

And this thread is worthless without sound clips.

are they just compressors?

Very cool indeed! Congratulations. Do you have more photos of stuff like the back panel and inside?

...

wow, I see you're into DIY analog synthesizers. Way cool. I must admit, your modular is larger than mine (which is ASM-1 based). Very nice wooden cabinet for it, too.

Very nice work. It's great when a project really comes together, no? Congrats.

One of my partially completed projects is a Pultec passive EQ.

i read this thread yesterday.
Then last night I had a dream I was playing the Matt Garrison Fodera through it.

Awesome.
