If you're into electronics and home recording, recording in general, or making, I've got a ton of projects I've built over the last 3 or 4 years all documented to varying degrees up here with hashtags.

Here they are. Good luck.

Had a great day tracking overdubs at the studio today. We did lots of lead vocals, some acoustic guitar tracks which I didn't get pictures of, and some keyboard overdubs as well (also no pics). The Millet tube preamp made it out for the overdubs as well as one of the 1176s.

I don't know if I talked about this in another post but I'll be using the EIZZ 24-step precision attenuators instead of pots in an upcoming build. These things are nice.

Version 1 of a panel design for adding an output attenuator to the Pete Millet tube mic preamp build. My friend Christopher gave me the idea and I thought it was great.

It's a little cramped so I gotta tighten it up a bit. But I got time.

Met my friend Mike for tea today at a cafe, and he gave me some matched NOS 6922 tubes (2 JANs, 2 Sovteks). These will be for a future build. Hopefully I can get around to building another Pete Millett tube preamp in 2022. I have a bunch of parts for the build already, like those transformers that they sent me as free samples.

These stepped attenuators look pretty cool, and I know someone who has used them and he is very pleased. I think I am going to use these instead of regular pots when I build another PMillett tube preamp. The only issue will be their physical size. They're deeper and bigger in diameter than a regular pot, so I don't know yet if there will be room in the enclosure.

The good people at OEP finally got me the transformer sample they promised me. Man, this one got over the pond in a hurry.

If it works out, I plan to build another 2-channel Pete Millett microphone tube preamp with them. I'll use these instead of the Sowters I used on the original, because Sowters are getting really hard to source. Massive shipping delays.
