Hi!
 I´ve asked Allen & Heath tech support what chips they used for the VF-!
 analogue valve stereo-filter. I didn´t get much wiser from the answer
 though.
 Maybe some one here knows about the chip SSM2164
 (As you will see this is cuts from 2 different e-mails)
 >>>The active circuitry in the VF-1 is based on the SSM2163 Quad VCA IC in
an analogue filter configuration, supported by standard TL072 op-amps
 and of course a pair of ECC82 valves.
 >Thanks for your reply. Please note the typo in my last reply and the fact
 >that it is the SSM2164, not 2163 IC that is the active VCA.>>>
I´m curious, cuz I really love the sound of this machine, and I wonder how
 much of this amusement is due the valve/overdrive section...
