Fender FR-12 preamp mod : The Hissterectomy

[WKSmith]

You should grill a nice steak to celebrate having the only V2 on the entire continent.

I am really glad you finally got it home.

Just one more basic question: may I remove the power connectors using my bare fingers? Or do I need some insulated tool for this?

As long as the power cable is detached.. just grab them.

A man after my own heart.

We never know what useful tools our wives have stashed away in their "tool" drawer.

Seriously enticing work dude.

You're putting "those other people" to shame.

Still waiting patiently…

Still waiting patiently…

And you shall continue...

It's become quite the epic journey.

In the end, the reward will be well worth the wait.

I'm at 6 months. Didn't expect that, but also not bothered, because this has been so interesting.

How then is phantom being passed from the xlr out to the xlr in through the stock FR input board?

Is a fluke meter capable of dis-information?

Any update on the v3?

 

[WKSmith]

I have tracking on assembled V3 proofs inbound this week and I have the raw board proofs for the full size component version of the V3 here already.

I will make any changes based on testing the proofs and order the assembled final production run.

I will be glad to see the end of the waitlist. ..And this last batch of V2s I am working on go to their new homes soon.
