Hey guys, I decided to mod my cheapo Bellari MP-105. Using this method:
http://www.gearslutz.com/board/so-much-gear-so-little-time/183449-black-lion-bellari-mp-105-mod.html
I purchased a JJ/Tesla ECC83s/12AX7 tube, two AD826ANZ OpAmps, and two new Honeywell 308NPC100KS potentiometers.
The tube is simple, the Opamps seem easy, but the potentiometers seem a little more difficult. All of the soldering I have done in my life has been with cables and amps. I have never soldered on a circuit. I don't think using my crappy soldering iron on this preamp would be a good idea. I don;t want to melt the circuit. So what exactly should I do? Do I need a special soldering iron to remove the pots and install the new ones?
By the way I'll make a recording or before and after the mod. I hear the results are supposed to be night and day. I guess I'll find out as long as I don't melt the damn thing.
