That sounds like a great idea Obi. Pixeltarian and I were discussing the logistics of this via Yahoo Messenger earlier today and we came up with a few ideas to keep things moving forwards.

At this stage, we're looking like focussing primarily on a 1073 preamp stage design. If this all goes well, we might look at other things such as API clones and possibly 1073 EQ at a later date.

It looks like we may be able to get hold of the PCB's from the guy who came up with this (see link below). If so, our designs will also feature a single gain control knob. This has the advantage of reducing complexity and cost and actually slightly improving performance (less signal path) while maintaining the characteristic sound of the original 1073 pre.

Here's a photo of the PCB...
