[JMan]

Thanks for this amazing project, Heikki! I added a few little bells and whistles of my own. You've given us something truly outstanding here!

Looks great. Is that 4U rack case?

[JMan]

Thanks! Yes, it's a 4u case. Orienting the sidechain controls vertically like I did didn't quite allow for a 3u enclosure, and I stuffed so many other things behind that front panel that I could not have gotten away with anything smaller. I just tell myself, "it's okay, this means the tubes are not cramped and it won't get too hot!" (Actually, the tubes in this design don't get terribly hot anyway, as far as I can tell). Really, though, this unit is so nice I don't mind giving it the extra real estate!
