Hello folks ,

I don't post here very often but I am hoping I can get some info from any Pearl 2 builders out there .

Before I pull the trigger on some PCB's I was wondering if this can be built without any specialist equipment ( ie oscilloscope ect ) ? .

Any input would be appreciated .

TIA ,

Phil .
 
Fig 7, the example external power supply, might contain an error.
The connection across the bridges needs to connect to the labled ground connection. Like a "H". You're extending the middle bar.

The article on passdiy.com is the same as when I built it. Fig 7 is still the same.

You should check the Pearl 2 thread and verify the connection or make you own dual power supply.

Buy a few extra ZVP3310, they are very static sensitive and about 1/2 of the builders zap one or two during construction. It's much cheaper to just buy a few spares straight away, than have to order one for $0.90 with $7.00 shipping...
 
There's a partial BOM in the Pearl 2 article - https://www.passdiy.com/project/preamplifiers/pearl-2

All the resistors are 1/4w, the heatsinks are standard, input/output jacks are whatever you want, same with the ground post. a 4-pin XLR makes a good power umbilical, and this is perfect for the raw PSU (minus the snubber) -

Not sure if you want to send Iron across the pond, but this (or similar) would be ideal for the transformer - AS-0522 - 50VA 22V Transformer - AnTek Products Corp
