    Anyone tried DIY'ing cheap, clean mic-preamps?

    I'm curious to see how feasible it is.

    I've been wanting to try and record some basic acoustic, voice, shaker type stuff. Nothing huge just 2-4 tracks, but getting that warm analog sound and trying my hand with tape. Are there any basic guides to getting into this stuff? I have no idea what kind of machine I want to buy, or about...
