I've been working on a video series to document my acquisition of a beat-up 1995 AMEK Big 28 mixing board with the intent of repairing it to sell for profit. In this series I provide some how-to methods for recapping old electronics, replacing IC's on circuit boards, setting up a vintage PC with MS Dos and the automation program for the mixing board, and much more! In the first episode I take us on tour of BRM Sound, the recording studio where the Big was located when I purchased it. Subscribe to the channel to follow along. Here's what we have so far:

Check out our fun new video series, Big Flippers on Youtube, where Mike buys a beat up 90's mixing board to repair, upgrade, and flip. We also have a newborn, "Eye of Jupiter"  The Eye of Jupiter is a 500 Series module, which offers both a DI input and a Re-Amp output. In fact, both the DI and RA (Re-Amp) jacks can be used at the same time and both offer a little something extra in the tone department. The DI is exactly the same circuit as what is in our Dark Storm preamplifier and as a result, features our popular MC15 audio transformer. Furthermore, the DI signal path also includes the Low Cut switch of the Dark Storm. However, this can only be used with the DI signal and not the Re-Amp signal. The Re-Amping section features LBA's new "Hot" light to indicate when the signal exiting the Re-Amp jack is higher in volume than that of a typical passive electric instrument (ie. electric bass). The level of this output jack can be controlled by the "Out Trim" knob. Internally, there is a setscrew adjustment pot for fine tuning the threshold of the "Hot" light. The Re-Amp signal is similar in design the the DI amplifier in that it is also features a discrete JFET signal path... a design choice made for tone. Get yours here.
