I think there are some of us out there who wouldn't mind having this at our disposal. I populated the PCB and it is really great sounding.
I attempted a layout myself but it just got too big since I lack the experience designing vero. Should fit into a pretty small footprint if laid out by someone with the chops.
i'll be damned. i thought for sure i compared schematics. sure enough...apparently "The best part is the Emerald Ring is carefully designed to sound right", just not by the guy who is selling the design...
