The EQ section is designed loosely around a Sontec EQ circuit. The filters are in the feedback loop of a discrete op amp.
I build my own discrete op amps and they are socketed for flexibility and serviceability.
12Au7’s can be bought new from many different vendors selling multiple brands.
I buy many vintage 12AU7’s and test them on a tube curve tracer for best performance.
The compressor will perform just fine on standard off the shelf brands like JJ or Electro-Harmonix
