World's Smallest 1176-Style FET Limiting Amplifier

for Chroma, Mister Focus, & DIYRE Colour

 

Overview

We did the impossible. We took the most loved, most ubiquitous ratio settings of the legendary 1176 limiter heard on countless hit records - 4:1 and 'All Buttons In' - and created a miniaturized version that can fit in the palm of your hand. Implode delivers all the aggression, smash, and colorful leveling many have trusted for decades. It was no small feat to create the world's smallest 1176! We squeezed in every transistor, capacitor, and resistor from the original Revision F discrete preamp and detector circuits--over 100 parts meticulously arranged to create a small city of analog mojo machinery. There were many late nights and much cursing, no doubt! By including individual trimpots for both attack and release, you can create compression presets for each module--like the much used 'Dr. Pepper' setting. We've even included the Bypass setting, which allows you to process audio through the discrete transistor preamp without compressing. By driving the input using the Colour Palette Saturation knob, you control the amount of compression. Output gain can be adjusted with Colour's Trim knob.

About Colour

INTRODUCING COLOUR

MODULAR MOJO

Colour is an exciting new modular platform for creating your own custom analog signal chains. The ever-growing family of modules allows you to bring multiple stages of high end analog processing to your setup a la carte.

The Colour platform consists of Colours and hosts. Colours are ultra-compact, swappable analog circuit blocks that snap into the host, and impart various types of analog color such as distortion, saturation, compression, EQ, and even echo.

COLOUR HOSTS

Proucts like Silver Bullet mk2, Chroma, Chroma+, or Mister Focus can all host Colour modules. The host device provides level controls, power, and support circuitry for one or two Colour modules.

C-DRV knob simultaneously allows you to adjust the amount of input gain and output attenuation for intuitive level control.

C-MIX knob allow you to blend the smoothly dry and processed signals.

Colour modules can also be used various rackmount and 500 series gear from other manufacturers like DIY Recording Equipment.

NERDY DETAILS

Colour Modules are compatible with Silver Bullet m2, Chroma 500 Series, Chroma+, and Mister Focus products.

They are also compatible with host products from DIY Recording Equipment.

We chose every component in our Colour modules by ear for maximum mojo and its sonic synergy with the rest of the circuit.  Our meticulous development process involved both empirical measurement and real-world studio use to validate the design.  We also leveraged what we learned designing and building our other products. In this design you will find high end parts from Nichicon, Panasonic, Vishay, Susumu, Wima, and TI.  All audio path resistors are 0.5% or 0.1% thin film types for low distortion and noise.  Where applicable, some modules features custom American wound transformers and our very own discrete op amp.  Our PCBs use high temperature Tg 170 material for long-term reliability.  The entire assembly is RoHS compliant (lead free).
