Does anyone have any info on making Ampex 600 series Mods Mic Pre's? Just heard of this idea and could get some easily. Who doesn't need more mic pre's for cheap . I need something to do. Thanks
 
I had a client who wanted me to mod some 350 electronics into mic pre's. I did it, but they weren't great.
The input transformer did not have enough sheilding for a true low noise design, and there were lots of compromises. Better to just buy some good bits and make a New York Dave design.
 
I have one in my studio-an incredible character pre, but not one for super pristine work.  I cut lots of vocals with the one I have now, and if you want something with a bit of harmonics for an in your face sound, it's unbeatable.
