1u recording preamp

Post by Aurora »

Seen as I'm still waiting on parts to finish off the iic+ preamp I posted I thought I would add this one.

Is something that I started building for myself but it gathered a bit of interest on another forum and people asked me to put together basic kits for them.

To boil it down to basics it has /will have the following.

Timmy based overdrive

Soldano slo lead channel with faux presence

Mkiic+ influenced 5 band graphic eq

Transformer isolated DI out for capturing the dry guitar when recording (this was the main focus so I can ditch vsts while recording)

Yet again I'm stuck waiting on the mail for parts to finish it but at least these ones are only coming from Germany so shouldn't take too long.

Is basically just a high frequency filter like on the dual rectifier in modern mode.

Just enables an extra point of fine tuning more than anything.

Finally got around to finishing this.

Unfortunately just as I was wrapping up voltage & function testing my son got home.

Hoping to get a good amount of playing in tomorrow while he's at drama.

Bit late coming back with this things have been hectic.

A quick and dirty reamp of a song from my old bands demo.
