u73B

the drip design of the classic and out of reach u73b compressor limiter is an amazing feat of layout achitecure and electrical engineering . drip brings you the 1:1 design after a year of work  taking on the challenge to bring this rare bird

back to life, it was drips intention to keep the entire design as accurate as possible , we contacted SOWTER transformers to design us the new 1505E transformer a modern replacement for the T188 1:1 transformer. 

the plate choke and output transformer are also designed by sowter (V72 plate and output)

the u73b is one of the very few all tube feed forward Mu designs with a theoretical ratio of 100:1 . a push pull 3 stage design. (E99F :input amplifier(MU) / E88CC second stage and output amplifier) E80CF (6BL8) / E80CF : control amplifier) 

it is one of the fastest tube compressors on the planet due to its feed forward design.

Below you will find all the necessary technical documents for your build. We’ve provided everything from the manual to the bill of materials you will need for your particular build.

Feature 2

the circuit uses two E99F tubes as the audio amplifier input Mu stage and an e88cc as the output amplifier stage.

gain reduction is achieved with the E80cf tube .  5 signal transformers per channel compliment this beauty (input/signal amp interstage/signal amp output/signal amp plate choke/control amplifier output.

Feature 3

using the drip pcb you may wire the board as the original  , or add input and output attenuators and a more modern time constant . ( the drip design does not include the input pass filter circuit - of course you can add this simple passive circuit if you wish)
