I realize that it would provide some freedom to use different ICs but in your case since you know the components needed to achieve the sound you want then I do not see the need for the added complexity. |

Just a thought..why don't you send out a IC to see how many of us would seriously want one of these to really get a feel for how much work it would be for you to do them. We all would need a price of course, but you could be like Xin and make them when you can. I know I would be willing to wait 3 months. It's not like waiting on an amp. We all have nice sounding rigs right now, so this would be icing on the cake. If not, detailed instructions would be nice. |
