CP4500 Stereo Bus Compressor / CP4500 Setup with XT500

« on: August 26, 2021, 11:54:38 AM »

Hello Sound Skulptor Team
I've almost finished my build, it was great fun and I can't wait to use it!:)

For the Channel 2 setup of the CP4500 would it be OK to use TWO XT500 extenders rather than inserting it into my lunchbox?

Thanks for the support

TS500 Tape Simulator / Soldering Positive voltage regulator

« on: August 14, 2021, 06:39:40 AM »

Hello Sound Skulptor Team
Thanks for your amazing kits, I am loving diving into this DIY world

I am onto my second TS500 build.

On both my kits I have had issues with getting a nice solder from the 'Positive voltage regulator' (Part number LM1086) onto the PCB board.

I realize the Positive voltage regulator is thick and might need more time to heat up or maybe my Iron needs to be hotter.
But either way, the end result has not been pretty  
Any ideas on what technique I can use to help make the solder run smoother onto the PCB.

Big thanks

XT500 Lunchbox connector extender / XT500 Test Pins

Hello Sound Skulptor
I am very new to DIY and this is one of my first projects, so sorry if this is a stupid question.
Do I need to solder all the Test Pins into the XT500? 
And if so which way round do they go, does the short part go in or the long?

Can't wait to use my two TS500's!
Keep up the great work.
Thanks
