LPB Upgrade Program Amps

B

BobOnTheJob

There are upgraded program cards for a few different legacy consoles. Anyone doing this for LPB's?
 
Not that I know of. Maybe someone will make some. I love the old LPB Signature tanks, the ultimate tough console.
 
What needs upgrading on them? I think they used low noise, high slew rate opamps throughout. The ones I worked on always sounded pretty good. Possibly just re-capping the boards would be all that's needed.

I was thinking in terms of getting the transformers out of the circuit. But it's true...good sounding console as it sits.
 
I'd just do a good recapping and general overhaul. Meaning replaced burned out lights and other little things. The LPB boards as a rule sound very good.
 
Recap it, and rechip it by replacing all the 5532's and 5534's with new ones. Pretty sure everything is socketed on those boards. Been a little while since I've been in one.

They are great simple consoles. As long as you don't need a few mix minuses, they are easy to use, sound pretty good and stand up to the harshest abuse.
