Mmmmmm
For the record, I had never soldered before I bought my first Sound Skulptor kit (CP5176). I love this pre! I use it for everything, but it's especially cool on vocals. It may be taboo, but I even use it on acoustic guitar. The build is easy and straightforward. The sound is great from crisp cleans to colorful harmonic overdrive (I like this on some vocals and bass).

Fantastic!
Very cool unit, as a 2bus master thing or to record some sources through it! Better than every software simulation!

Excellent!
The MP573 was the very first DIY preamp I’ve ever built. Even with very little soldering experience building it was a breeze – thanks to the detailed assembly guide. By now, I own five different outboard preamps, but the MP573 is still my favourite for male vocals, acoustic and electric guitars as well as bass.
I’ve never had a Neve 1073 in my studio, so I can’t really say how close the MP573 is to the original, but I do know that it is a solid piece of gear with high quality components and an excellent warm and rich sound.
One thing I sometimes miss is a trim knob that can attenuate the signal by more than the currently available 10 dB. If I want to drive the input transformer really hot for a fat distorted sound, it’s sometimes difficult to bring down the volume of the preamp to a level that does not distort my audio interface. I found a workaround for that, but having the option in the module would be helpful.
Other than that, the MP573 is a wonderful preamp which I highly recommend. Thanks to Sound Skulptor for this kit!

Vintage pleasure
Not only does the MP566 look cool as hell, it is also a wonderful choice for a retro sound from the 50s and 60s. The circuit design is apparently inspired by the preamps that Bill Putnam Sr. built in his early years for the 610 console. While the original features two valves (one 12AX7 and one 6072), the MP566 comes with one small valve only to fit the size of a 500-series module. Nonetheless, if you are looking for a 'round’ overdrive sound without any harshness, even the small valve used in the MP566 can do good things to your signal. I absolutely love it on a shortscale bass with flatwound strings for a pretty authentic 60’s bass sound. It can also add sweet and creamy harmonics to large condenser mics. Overall, perhaps it’s not your no. 1 go-to preamp that you will use every day, but when you do, you will be glad to have this flavour in your toolbox.

Amazing API sound
I bought a couple of these MP512 some months ago. I use them for snare top/bottom. Simply amazing. The pad function is excellent to push the pre and "compress" with saturation. I'll buy more for sure.
