This is a video of me building the Capi VP 26 Preamp Kit.
One unit takes a bit less than 1 hour to build (Without building the Op-Amp)
I love the sound of this classic preamp design, so i already built 6 of these and 4 of the VP28.
Anybody with mediocre soldering skills can build these units for a fraction of the cost of the Originals.
The Op-Amp that fits in these units are a bit more tricky to solder.
I made a little backing track for this video using stock logic synthesizers, Ez-Drummer 2, my trusty old Squier Jazzbass and my brother jammed along with his guitar.

Hi friend... I wanna Know how can get simply noise off from capacity microphone... Can you show us something to do that?

@insidertompettytheheartbre7526 4 года назад

Great video. Thinking of making a few of these VP26's. I noticed you have 2 Heritage HA73EQ's,.. I have a pair as well. Do you use them much after building all the CAPI's? I know the design is way different but do they sound completely different? Thanks a bunch.

Insider: Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers Tribute Band hey thanks! I built the capis primary for drum recording and they get the most use there. I love The fast transients and midforwardness of the CAPIs. The HA73 i tend to use for vocals, DI Bass and Overheads. Both have their place and having a API and NEVE colour to choose from was a goal of mine from the first place... if you know what you are doing, you will hear a difference 😅 especially if used on every source while tracking (neve console sound vs api on a budget) hope this was helpful 🤙

@@sebastiangut25 Thanks a bunch for the reply. Hopefully will build 2 in the next few weeks!

why are there so many empty holes behind the preamp gain knob?

@sebastiangut25 8 месяцев назад

Hey! Those are for resistors if you want to install a stepped „gain knob“ I have those on my VP28s ✌️

@@sebastiangut25 Thank you so much for enlightening me! that makes sense. I actually have a pre-built VP26 and I couldn't find the answer to this. I was always wondering, "Man, mine is missing something, maybe it would sound better if it was finished". Lol. All good
