1176 Blue Strip, DIY or any good clones?

Lonnie5 · 7th October 2009

hey guys, Im looking for that 1176 Blue Strip sound without the 5K price tag. I've been considering the 1176 AE which is priced at $2500. But I was wondering if anyone knows of a good DIY kit of the unit or any piece of gear that gets close to the sound?

I'll have mine going as soon as mouser gets to the back order.

I like showing off this picture

There isn't a kit, per-say, but check out hairball audio for the more difficult to source parts. I doubt this sounds "like an original" but as far as a quality and useful piece of kit, I have no doubt it rocks.
Build any of Mnats rev boards, its a really good project.
