DIY Mark IIC+ Preamp
I was thinking about taking up a project for my spare time to get my mind off of school. I stumbled across this preamp and I took an electronics class around 2001-2002ish and wanted to see if you guys think I'm nuts for wanting to attempt this or think it should be fun and a good idea for me.

I've built one of these and while it doesn't really sound like the MKIIC+ as the EQ and its positioning is a large part of the sound as is the wind on the output transformer it does sound great. he also has some PCB layouts for it which make it even easier. |

Hmmm, I wonder how expensive it is to make these. I wouldn't mind taking a crack at the SLO and Matchless Preamps. Guess its time to price all the parts and see.

7DS: Let me know what kinda pricing you figure out on this. I might wanna fool around with the idea of making a MkIIC+ preamp if the money's not horribly expensive.

A lot of those amps have a lot of their character in the transformers. Although I'd love a 6505+ preamp to pair with a Mesa 20/20.
Nevertheless, seems like a cool project!

Preamps alone are generally quite cheap around £200 max as its the output transformers and headshells etc that add a lot to the price
whereas the preamp is a fairly cheap circuit with a cheap transformer in a cheapish enclosure. I am actually currently working on a SLO rack preamp that has all 3 channels and midi switching which is going to come out around £300 in total |
