About the Modifications

On these modules we perform and input, output and buffer stage modification using Burr Brown High Performance opamps for maximum fidelity, headroom and frequency response from the circuit.

Local power supply upgrades are also performed for the lowest possible noise and to accommodate the additional current draw required form the new performance opamps.

De-coupling is performed on the analog rails to lower noise thru the audio path.

Audio Coupling is performed for a more musical response from the compressor.

An “A” Rated Vca is installed to smooth out the compressor response and to adjust the symmetry of the audio (Audio is A-Symmetrical stock and causes A-symmetrical slipping).

Finally a Sidechain Filter is installed to further mellow out the compression character.
