New preamp-kit day.

AML Neve 1073 kit in da house. Just need a chasis, some faceplates, some knobs, some wire, and some patience (or at least a soldering friend with patience!)

 

[Sleezy E]

awesome!
Keep us posted, this is on my to do list one day

 

[Fireproof]

Woah. Now that’s a project!

If it is solid and sounds good, I'm gonna get another 7 of them

 

[Fireproof]

Are you going to make this a “build thread”? Would love to follow along…

 

[Orvillain]

So one of my best friends builds amps. Originally I was gonna get the AMS Neve at £1638, but he said if I get the kit, he'd build it for me. So if I'm there, I'll take some photos. Otherwise it might just be before and after shots.

Still need to get a few bits anyway, so will be a week or two I guess.

Yeah, I’m anxious to see how this works out, man!

My next GAS is aimed towards mic pre’s and outboard gear!

I assume you need a 500 series rack for that?

 

[FuzzyAce]

Awesome! Hope it turns out well. Building stuff is fun.

Mate, I'm 6 foot 2 inches, at the moment a quite unsightly 14 stone, and I've got a cold and have more or less put out about 14 fl oz of snot over the last two days. Yucky poos.

What's a 'stone?' How many stones does it take to = an FM3?

14 stone basically means right now I'm a fat bastard and need to stop eating pies.

...and pie doesn't mean what you think it does...

 

[Orvillain]

Bloody hell. Not too far off a year since I bought this thing. My friend built it for me and it has sat on his shelf for ages, because I couldn't get my shit together. But look what turned up today:

Not long now!
