CP5176 FET compressor / Re: CP5176 only compresses in 20:1 / SLAM mode

Hi, and thank you for your help. I went through all the solder joints and cleaned up some of them. Everything is now working perfectly

EQP501 Passive Equalizer / Re: Pot issue
« Last post by Horicios on December 14, 2025, 11:46:52 AM »
Thanks, I understand, but that's not the problem. It's hard to explain...
When I move the AT pot, the kHz switch doesn't move from its position (20 kHz). It simply goes into bypass while at 20 kHz. It also does this at 15 kHz, but less frequently.
  It seems that when I move the AT pot, something shorts out or loses contact, on the switch causing it to go into bypass.
I could send you a short video

EQP501 Passive Equalizer / Re: Pot issue

Check that you haven't overtightened the screw on the red knob. This could cause the potentiometer adjustment to also rotate the rotary switch.

EQP501 Passive Equalizer / Switch issue
« Last post by Horicios on December 13, 2025, 06:31:13 PM »
Hi...my first post here.

This week I built my first kit, an EPQ501...it's been a lot of fun and very rewarding.
I just have one final problem with the top pots..."att and kHz"
When I set it to the right at 20kHz and slightly adjust the "att" pot, the EQ goes into bypass...it's a mechanical issue.
I've resoldered the stepped pots, but it's still the same. It seems like a short circuit inside the pot itself.
..I don't know.

MP566-II Tube microphone preamplifier with HPF / Re: Several issues building the MP466-2

Dear JPK,

Thank you for your reply and for the corrections on the layout. Hopefully, the mic preamp will work once I’ve finished building it.
I have another question: would it be possible for you to send the XT500 as a concession? This would allow me to properly test the preamp.


(I’m asking here on the forum because when I try to email, I receive a “non-deliverable” message with the following error.)

This is an error in the kit. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Please contact us to confirm your address and we will send you the correct resistor of 3M9.

Thank you for reporting these errors in the layout PDF.
The schematic and parts list are correct.
I have attached the correct layout file.

EQ573 Equaliser / R50 wrong resistor value/colour coding
« Last post by G.Matheson on December 10, 2025, 06:22:01 PM »
The measured value and colour coding of R50 (3M3 Ohm / ORG-ORG-BLK-YEL-BRN) does not match the one in the parts list (3M9 Ohm / ORG-WHI-BLK-YEL-BRN). Should I not use the resistor and get the correct one? Or is the error in the spreadsheet?

Thank you
Giulio
