Building a DIY Mic preamp!
I've always wanted to try building my own gear and TODAY IT IS FINALLY HAPPENING!
I'm building my own 1073 preamp for a 500 series lunchbox i still have to buy, but hey, better to have gear without a rack, than a rack without gear...
I got the preamp kit from DIY Recording Equipment. Make sure to check out their website, they've got plenty of other kits too!

Here's the tools i used for this kit:
WELLER Soldering Iron: https://shorturl.at/h6SDQ

Here's the tools i wish i had when building this kit!
