Building a DIY Mic preamp!

[@andygreen5565]

Thanks for sharing. Would like to hear the comparison too.

[@Rhuggins]

Awesome - Happy Birthday brother! Excited for the comparison too

[@thomasvopstal]

Thanks so much! And yes, will test asap!

[@ivan.bofinger]

Sound skulptor tape simulator could be a nice build! love the channel. Cheers!

[@paulstebnicki3735]

Haha fun vid thanks! Can't wait to hear your thoughts on the unit

[@ellisblondeel6158]

Hi! I’m also a beginner in this ( only built 2 pedals ). Use a multimeter to sort all resistors! The direction of a resistor doesn’t matter unlike a capacitor.

Happy birthday mate🎉

[@thomasvopstal]

Thanks so much!🙏

[@simmermusic3894]

Great! I have a Neve 1073 SPX here, would love to hear how that DIY kit sounds, might be a fun project anyway!

[@Kehisthe1]

Happy Birthday!!

[@stingray1irwin0]

You really want a decent pair of side cutters for nice clean cuts

[@thomasvopstal]

Yes! Definitely!

[@KiDAppleBorg]

This! They come in handy for building Gundams too. Lol

[@blindboyrecording]

Correctoin for 04:04 All resistors are very much "interchangable from side to side" - ie. doesn't matter which direction they're put in:)

[@blindboyrecording]

Also: you should very much solder on the bottom of the PCB and not from the top down, as you're doing it. Damaging components from over-exposure from heat, is a possibility and also much easier for checking for fault or repairing down the road.

heel benieuwd naar het eind resultaat man ! en hoe hij presteert tov de real deal

[@DMKahn]

Bro I keep seeing you in sunglass ads. Is it you? Not knocking the style just curious! I got a pair of these I’m gonna make. Cheers

[@thomasvopstal]

Hahah what sunglasses ads?!

[@ILoveTelecasters]

Will we get a comparison with Neve and other preamps soon? ❤

[@thomasvopstal]

Yes! Give me a week or 2/3, i need to get a multimeter and wait for the testrig to arrive to make sure this preamp is flawless!

[@cheekbone4554]

Happy birthday :) Hope she works

[@robertopistolesi2735]

Longstreamaudio is going strong in Holland. Of course you know him, right? I wish i could find the time to learn to solder!

[@thomasvopstal]

Haven’t heard of it before, can’t find it either. Where can i check it out?

nice

[@timgosden5519]

Awesome! How long was the total build time?

[@thomasvopstal]

About 5 hours, but thats including filming and the mistakes i made

[@StanAllDay]

If you are keen I have seen good things about neve 2254 - AML-17-048 - 52F50 Full Kit - (500 series Compressor)

[@thomasvopstal]

Yes the AML stuff is great!

[@ProducerStefanSchnabel]

What you think about the warm audio cl1b for vocals? Better as UAD?

[@thomasvopstal]

I made a video on it comparing it to the UAD and the Tubetech!

[@ProducerStefanSchnabel]

@@thomasvopstal yes inhale seen it. But what is your own favorite?

[@thomasvopstal]

@@ProducerStefanSchnabel the real tubetech is something else

[@ProducerStefanSchnabel]

@@thomasvopstal Great. Thank you for your feedback. ✌🏻✨🎶🙂

[@jonesconrad1]

most people solder from the bottom

[@joshualeyva1396]

FUCK YES

[@SamSanai]

You should use flux when u solder bro it helps a lot it makes the solder flow way better so don’t have to do any touch ups

[@thomasvopstal]

I believe the type of solder i used already has flux in it, but i could be wrong

[@jamesglewmusic]

@@thomasvopstal still won't be as good as using a separate flux. Top tip for not scrathing faceplates is to use a socket from a socket set. Thanks for the video though, very funny too!

[@alexkempkes01]

Solderingtime could have taken you half the time. Its ‘uncommon’ to solder both sides 😅 but i like you fresh attitude! Show us your comparison.

[@thomasvopstal]

Yes! The comparison will follow soon! I’m not soldering everything on both sides btw, just touching up where it didnt flow through by itself

[@alexkempkes01]

@@thomasvopstal understood. you are doing a great job and enjoy your videos (together with my son).

[@thomasvopstal]

@@alexkempkes01 thanks so much for sharing that! Love hearing you both enjoy my videos!🙏

[@capsize707]

As a tip…Soldering both sides introduces extra heat that can damage sensitive components. Especially transistors. Using high heat and soldering quickly is key to a well flowed joint.

This is legos for engineers…
