People may also want to look into pedalpunk di pedal. It’s originally designed to run audio through guitar/bass pedals but you can just do a loopback and warm up your audio. I also typically run stuff through a wa76 which has a cinemag trafo that makes everything sound better :slight_smile:

Looking to build a nice Modular to line converter in the style of RIP.

What schematics/ DIY kits / other things should I be looking at?

just needs 2x ins and 2x outs, but not sure about the stepping down of 10V signals to line…

I dont need a DI box, but modular levels to balanced line would be a bonus.

Moving from overdrive thread here.

Iam planing sth like that too, did some research and some transformers are really easy to wire. As i have no sum/out in my skiff i want to do a little 4hp box with probably 2 1:1 transformers

Thought about my use case and figured the best for me would be to lead multiple ins (probbaly 3) to a single trafo, then the sum of it to the second trafo with an attenuator between or after 2nd.

Question: can i actualy put the load of 3 modular level (could attenuate bf) into one transformer by having multiple leads to the same pin?
Or would that overload heavily?

I am going for a mojo one 500:500 probably so i dont mind driving it, but want ofc good sound and not always distortion.
@Galapagoose might you know if that would work?

I ended up ordering one of these…

got some nice ex-BBC attenuates to put to it, for stepped output.

Uh
While being from the guys country and this being tempting…it says shop closed down. You know anyT about that?

I dont see a word about wich transformer is used

But i am more tempted to go the simpler passive route. I dont feel too well soldering pcbs (opamp)

I suppose yours is electrically balanced. No trafo in there

I ordered direct from Patrick…

no transformer in the build… as OP amps are used to scale…

but from what I can tell the passive route is easier, but I figured a balanced out would be worth the extra work.
