    So glad to see this from early prototype to final product

    Wow First i saw this as a expensive Device alongside others at a shop, didnt pay that much of attention. BUT NOW since i know its actually available as a DIY kit with this price AND MODULAR ability's i am absolutely stunned. I want to have one as soon im more confident with mixing. Looking forward for more even this video is posted 2 years ago, I am happy about Music and Electronics Big Thanks to your effort and Work at DIY Recording Equipment.

    Dude this is just wonderful and amazing loving each and every bit of it. Can't wait to get my hands on that. 😊
  • @DavideCerriGA
    Hope I'll be able to order one with the primary colors soon.
  • I just hope that I’ll be able to order the rack unit and various color options. Everytime I check the website store it says most are out of stock

    This product is just too cool. The only mic pres I have are in my Roland Octacapture but my whole odyssey into all this comes from my desire to sum my mixes analog (being exposed to sunshine and rain) before hitting the final print in digital. Yes, I'm one of those guitar purists that can hear the breath from tubes and the infinite decay and inaudible feedback characteristics (textures) associated with continuously variable decay and feeedback - both audible and inaudible. When tubes went to IC's (silicon based adjacent electron flow vs through-space flow), the most noticeable attribute was its harshness but over time solid state smoothed all that out and solid state guitar amps do sound phenomenal. Then came the big debate when PCM replaced tape and it too suffered from a brittle nuance. However now, through higher sampling rates and modeling (approximations of analog components), digital too has become mind blowing.........but, still will not achieve the breath and touch-response a dynamic "analog" circuit imparts regardless of tube or solid state. The heat and flow of electrons is what makes analog the holy grail. It has more "plasticity" and organic nuances similar to getting a tan from the sun (nice brown tone) instead of through an electric light (unnatural orange hues). Yes, it subtle and many cannot see the difference until a contrast is shown. If one does not leave the digital realm, one will never notice the hue contrast. So, the verdict is tubes are king, IC's are queen and both require electron flow and heat. Tape also requires electron flow through distance where digital doesn't and must make it up with modeled "electron flow" approximations of analog components. Hence, most people will agree analog is inherently natural sounding and digital isn't. The reason why digital is what it is is because of it's ability as a recording and storage medium. Digital is a superior form of capture and storage and does a fair job at organically coloring the sound artificially but if its real color you are after, hot circuits will always win regardless of circuit artifacts. So, we have to have digital for its superior attributes but must pull the signal back into the real world to get that final electron flow through time/space/feedback and naturally occurring frequency polarization (even order harmonics). In short, my guitar tone won't resonate properly, feedback like it should or have that breathy touch-response until it can have infinite decay and continuously variable signals - both audible and inaudible.
