But only if it has blue LEDs.



I agree. There should be a blue LED on/off switch. Perhaps we should install a meter to monitor the LED current.

To get a basic idea of how a resistor, coil and capacitor make an EQ, go here and fiddle with the "f=" slider.
http://www.ngsir.netfirms.com/englishhtm/RLC.htm
Then change some other part values and watch the curves change.
Notice the "Q" change when you adjust "R".
You may notice both "C" and "L" change the frequency of the filter.
It's the phase shift that's important. Where it says; "I leads V" and "V leads I".
For identical curves, one phase shift will usually sound better than the other.

I really need to catch up on the technical side of things but I'm very interested.
Now, it will have a switch that goes 'ping' right?

I have new L/C EQ plans of my own, but I had my coils custom wound by an Austrian guy.. Very HQ Ni-Fe cores, good stereo matching. Maybe he could help you with the coil needs if that isn't sorted.

Is that why Brad doesn't have a Great River EQ?

Well, I'm still trying to figure out how to do this in such a way as to make it DIY-able. Not really very easy as my tech most certainly does NOT want to be a hand-holder through the process...

Ok, this is cool - I had two guys volunteer to bang on the design a bit and also support those who need it during the build process, so I met with my tech today and we went over the basics. to keep this simple (and keep it as affordable as possible), we decided to skip the inductors, so it's shelf only, will allow for boost and cut at variable frequencies. Will have a solid state buffer and makeup amp, so interfacing won't be an issue. This should result in a very clean and transparent EQ that's good for overall shaping.

Obviously if you want something more complex, it's up to you, but this will be the basic design. We can have a mod thread if people want to...

More to come...

Brad,

See if you can configure it so the gain stage can be a 2520/990/Forsell form factor.
