DIYRE Colour Palette

Up for sale is a pair of DIYRE Colour Palette 500 modules, with four Colours each:

• 15IPS Tape Saturation Colour
• CTX Transformer Console Colour
• JFT Class-A Transistor Colour
• MN-50 Smash Compressor Colour

These are the original MK1 Colour Palettes, which I bought and built as soon as they were released. They came with the 15ips, CTX and JFT colours.

I later added the MN-50 colour which is a clone of the compressor in the Fostex MN-50 mini mixer. These were great as built, but I wanted to make some changes and so I contacted the designer at Avenson Audio. With his help I changed the release control to have more focus on the useful shorter release times, and also adjusted the input headroom to better accommodate typical line level sources. Finally, I decided that I wanted to be able to control the release from the front of the unit, rather than having to open it up. So I drilled some holes and relocated the pots.

The 15IPS modules have been modified with a higher high-pass frequency. This can be heard in the demo video above. If you are interested, but would like them reverted back to the stock values, feel free to send me a message. 

Please be aware that these are hand-built units that have been tinkered with and modded a lot. I made a lot of adjustments to the MN-50 modules in particular, and ended up lifting some solder pads as a result. This was easily fixed with jumper wire however.  All the modules are in full working order, as can be heard in the demo video.

Please check out my other listings, I'm selling rack gear, 500 gear, mics and other pro audio stuff in the coming weeks.
