Minused emulation circuit

Number one answer, survey says...
Cutting the cap and resistor result in transparency from the amp.
Sounds fuckin' beautiful.
Still trying to wrap my head around equalizing the signal from a potential four points in the signal chain, but I'm trying for the least amount possible.  Of course, some inter-signal equalization is needed to clean up the sound of whatever, but that's collusion.

Resolving all of the solder joints on the LED bar via suction pencil, removal of LED lights, and resoldering each light remedied the three-year flicker.  Sometimes you just have to throw the right amount of amphetamines at something before it will get done.

In summation, two successful tests run since this posting.  Test was with unbalanced 1/4" at -30db setting, which is almost too hot for the Avid eleven rack to handle without clipping.  This makes me eager to test with the balanced XLR out of the Diablo > 11R XLR in w/ pad switch engaged.  The in-line gain control should help mitigate the overwhelming volume.
The unbalanced and balanced inputs are unsurprisingly loud due to their position in the circuit.  The typical use for these outs is for mixer > PA or similar setup.  Hopefully the provided controls are able to accomplish what I'm hoping for.



Upcomming posts:
-Capacitor and resistor master lists written out, after several corrections.
You can't get high and be an accountant; you make a mistake and cost people millions of dollars.
-Intentions of posting scans of handwrites and ctrl-z-able computer lists.  More than likely this will be when I post individually hilighted versions of the schematics for Resistors and Capacitors.
-PCB connector mapping - interconnectors aren't labeled or defined on schematic.  Will aid in general reassembly.
