This is a bit off topic, but are you guys familiar with coral.AI boards?
They have a microcontroller board with TPU that I reckon should be able to run larger neural models (of course there's the problem of ADC/DAC that is already solved with the seed)
The daisy seed is certainly capable. I'm not sure if you'll find a standalone IR loader, but there are projects that include IR cab sim (eg funbox mars)
I'm excited to build a DIY tuner, but I'll probably have to wait a liitle bit. Right now it goes:
- OS based compressor
- MuAmp based treble booster
- Chuck's Mojito
- Phase 45 with extras
- Orange inspired preamp
- Pt2399 Delay
On a side note, I remembered EffectsLayouts used to offer a preamp like the one you want. It was called the Super Trouper (you could build it to Supergroup of Model T specs) and you can still find the build docs for it (link here). No idea how it sounded, though. It is not very far from a Model...
Adding to Temol and Blackboardcult, I have succesfully adapted the post-tonestack section of the EAE Model Fet for 9V single supply and it sounds quite good
I can't simulate the circuit right now, but 12k is a little high compared to what we typically see used with j201s. Maybe the original used (borderline) out-of-spec jfets
