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.

 

[roflol]

are they just compressors?

 

[elros]

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.
