The Scully 280 comes factory-equipped with mic and line inputs but without additional features. This unit expands its functionality by adding relay-switched phantom power, pad, and phase options to both inputs. It also includes a toggle that lets you route the signal exclusively to either the mic or line input, preventing the signal loss that normally occurs when mirroring to both at once
The Jig powers up a channel independently from the console, allowing every input and output to be tested quickly. The SSL is compatible with VCA-Ultimation 4000, 6000, and 8000 series consoles (E, G, and G+), the Neve one is compatible with V-Series consoles and 88R. Built in a fully modular way, it’s easy to service, with high-quality Grayhill switches and a linear PSU
Thanks to Richard Bellingham for introducing me to the concept of the test jig and sharing with me useful tips that aided me in the develepment of my own one.
Richard has developed himself a fully digitized Neve VR/88 and a SSL 9000 Jig
Thanks to Neil McCombie for helping me figure out the inner workings the Neve VR Console and answering the numerous questions I had when reverse engineering the desk.
And a final thanks to Jake Murray and Strongroom Studios for the constant support provided to me and also for allowing me to take apart their VR in order to develop the Jig
This is a pair of Siemens V275 modules, originally from the summing section of a console. I’ve racked with a custom linear power supply, added a pad before and after the amplifier, making it possible to explore different types of distortion the unit can produce
This is a fully computer-controlled curve tracer tube tester, built from the Roetest 11 and custom-housed in a rack to streamline my work with tube equipment. It can handle up to 600V plate voltage and is compatible with virtually every tube type in existence, providing detailed curve measurements that only a true curve tracer can deliver. It’s an essential tool for my tube work and is even capable of testing rare tubes like the VF14 and AC701, making it extremely valuable
