Great pre for its size! I needed a pre small enough to fit into the cavity of a mic base and the K1803 was a perfect fit. Especially since my K1803's components were positioned horizontally on the board instead of vertically. This horizontal-positioning was an advantage as it allowed the variable control to be easily accessed. I'd appreciate knowing why this horizontal-positioned version is no longer produced by Velleman. I'd also appreciate knowing what advances this vertically-positioned version has over the other one. I welcome helpful comments and insights with reference to this kit's current design changes.

Very sensitive all I need to do is crack it to avoid overdriving, but now my volume controls on the guitar and mixer are in the mid position. Easy build and very small. I power it with a 9 VDC battery and it works fine. A substitute volume pot with a on/off switch and it's in a very small self powered black box.

This is an easy to build preamp kit that is helpful in many projects. The gain pot can be panel mounted using just about any variable resistor.
