Neve Pre-amp clone

[ChileRelleno]

anybody here try to clone the Dingwall Neve preamp?

I have a couple LHZ's from @AgingEngineer for a couple basses, and some multi coil pickups @slowburnaz made for the Lusithand Wal style preamp on another bass, I'll try the Underhill version someday. Lots of you guys are good at this electronics thing. Just wondering if anybody tried cloning the Dingwall Neve.

I've not cloned one, but I have configured a Trickfish Flexcore preamp to have specs that on paper are identical to the Neve, which I've retrofitted into my Super J that was built prior to the Neve being available. The Trickfish configuration (volume with push-pull active/passive, bass, treble, and passive tone) sounds incredible in my Super J. I have another Super J on order, this time spec'd with a Neve. I'll be able to do a comparison of the two when it arrives.

Curious about the Neve as well. I recently installed a Flexcore 4 band and I'm very impressed with the sound quality and eq curves.
I look forward to your comparisons.

Indeed that’s the one thing I’d change on my NG3. It works and sounds excellent in passive that I have no real need for the Darkglass pre. In addition, I’m not a fan of what the DG pre does to the tone or the EQ points really IME.

But from the YouTube demos of the Neve equipped Dingwall… whew! Much more my alley. A clone would be quite enticing.

If the Neve is actually flat then it will be easy to clone. Then all you need are the EQ frequencies, Q and boost and cut range. This is all really generic linear design.

Is it even possible to buy the Neve pre separately? I've googled it and the only references I got were ones where it comes preinstalled in a Dingwall.
