[sdiy] EFM News: 3500 Modular - Part 1

[tomg]

They have been dead simple. There were a couple (like 2) errors
out of 17 boards that were simple to repair. It was so much fun everything
worked first time!!  Well.... except the ms20 filter. The gain of the RYOs
is less ( dunno how much off hand )  than IC version so it didn't break
into oscillation like I expected. I actually removed the clipping diodes
and now it works great . At extreme res it does break a little kinda like
the ms50 or DS-2 filter but it's more musical.... you'll just have to build
one. The boards are so cheap and use no parts. Well .... very few
values anyway. The 3529 is all transistor... Parts are like $3.00.

Regards
Tom
