A couple years ago, a friend of mine traded me a Studio Projects VTB1 Mic Pre for an M-Audio USB 4 channel Midi i/o I had laying around. ( I have plenty of midi I/O options, I wasn't using the M-Audio anyway, so I thought it was a fair trade).

Hi anyone using the Studio Projects VTB1-RK ?

I'have just purchased 2 x VTB1 Mic Preamp and 1 rack kit.

Anybody mod the Studio Projects VTB-1?

I was wondering if there was anything i could about swapping out, like op amps/tubes/transformers, to get even more out of this preamp. Maybe use Burr Browns and Jensens. Possibley swap the Tube for a Mullard or something. If so do you know the part/model numbers? How benificial has your mod been?

Thanks!

I just bought a Really Nice Compressor. I want to use it with my Studio Projects VTB-1 mic preamp.

The RNC instructions say:
Hooking up the RNC to balanced lines with TRS 1/4" plugs will not work! If the equipment you are connecting the RNC to is balanced, you must first unbalance it and only connect into the RNC with TR 1/4" plugs.
