Fairly?
 
Got my mobile rig all wired up and tested. The mic preamp casing ain’t pretty to look at, but it sounds nice!

I talked to the guy who built the pre amps. They’re in fact a 1:1 replica of API 512A mic amps. Not super common as a stand-alone pre, but that’s the pre that came in every API console from 1968-1974 or thereabouts, before the original owner was bought out. When he left, all the techs and designers went with him.
I deeply regret getting a 13” MacBook Pro...such a tiny screen is frustrating!
Can’t wait to use this on Sunday!
