Unit67

[Alan W]

Not sure if this is popular enough, and also imagine it is very dense. I bought it as a potential compressor, but end up having it set to very light compression, and swoon with the sweetness. There’s a bit of the Mercurial in this, at least how I use it. Am happy to lend my pedal out for tracing, send gut shots etc.

You know, before I posted, I did a search, saw that, and didn’t connect that it was in the wish list forum—is there a “posted before my first caffeine of the day” abbreviation?

I had this off my board for about a year, and in coming back to it, have been almost astounded at how much good such a small box can do.

Don't get me wrong, I don't have any problem with your thread. I just wanted to let you know that it's already been wishlisted

This is a different 1176-type clone, the Drybell Unit67. Whereas the Cali76 is a FET compressor with a blend control, the Unit76 is a FET compressor into an EQ.

I haven't been able to find many gut shots, but here is one at least:


Definitely a non-trivial trace due to the layout density, but I would be very interested to see the schematic!

Here is a shot of the pot board:


Probably not a non-destructive trace with all those SMD ICs.

Looks like a nightmare to trace

It wouldn't be too bad to trace, and there'd be no need to destroy it either, but my goodness...

I assume both sides of both boards are fully loaded with components. Imagine the enclosure we'd have to use for a through-hole version.

I opened mine after getting it, and promptly put the screws back in. But what a delightful little box! It was this pedal that made me realize that for me, the most useful equalization is a midband boost or cut where you can set your center freq.

I may have an old PC case laying around

Is the Cali76 this complicated inside? I hadn’t seen gutshots until now and boy howdy there goes any desire to build at least the unit76

 

[Haz]

No problems building this if no rare components. If it just fits into 1590bb maybe dual board?
It's up to maestro Robert only if this is worth the effort

Yep, it's similar.

Yep, it's similar.

Could you message me when you get a chance, I got a question for you.
