stealth, you might try at the DIY central http://www.prodigy-pro.com/forum/ . Jacob (Gyraf) is there. I've got 2 done but I'm on the other side f the globe.

Have you tried the LAB?? I'd be surprised if there wasn't someone on there who lived in LA and had a GSSL.

Funny. I live in La and just ordered all the parts for a Gssl. I'm gonna look for someone to make it for me (soldering is just not my thing).

I am in LA and building 2 GSSLs

Thermos, i can build yours for you. it wouldn't be a problem

cheers

I've always wondered how all the Gyraf units sound?

Yes, but then again I've heard that there's a secret mod that you did to your unit - something like a chrunchy timing option?

:-)

But basically you're right - final sound will depend somewhat on the components chosen - not so much on who's assembling it. And being a rather simple unit, there's not many fancy components in there that can f*** up your sound. It's not like building tube stuff where numerous component parameters has to be taken into account throughout the circuits in order to get predictable results..

Hi yall,

I am right about to embark on the gssl clone. Anyone want to discuss components - resistors, caps,... for different sounds? Also, I havent lookd much, but what power transformer do I need - the schematics are for 220Vac?

That is indeed the place to go. I found it easier to buy the parts from http://www1.jaycar.com.au/ like the parts list describes - too hard to locate the right thing with Digi-key. You may also want to design the power supply to switch between 110V and 220V - wish I had. I guess a DIY project is never done

It does the SSL thing well (*cough*cough* turbo mod)
as well as much more, depending...
I don't think I'll ever get rid of mine.

Agreed, especially about the turbo mod.

I have two and use them all the time.
