@@Wizardofgosz yeah. I got they were Api style..had no luck communicating with capi, hence the seeking word on the street. Lol. I've built two full.racks of seventh circle audio, and am hunting a 500 rack full of capi and hairball pres now. :)
Colt, you are way too modest dude! You got mad skills with the tinning and soldering. I knew I wasn't the only one with some electrical engineering abilities. I'm seriously impressed and you deserve all the kudos and success that you are building on! Excellent work brutha!!
I built a JLM Audio LA500 comp a few months ago and have been loving it. Essentially an LA3A but with a slow attack option to get you in LA2A territory. They sell them fully assembled as well.
A pair of AML ez1073-500 (NEVE pre and eq) are great and really affordable! I changed the knobs on those for more authentic looking Neve knobs, looks great!
three pieces I can recommend are rupert neve designs 511 pres, elysia xpressor500 and elysia xfilter 500, all of them superb, I'd like to get a pair of chandler/EMI TG2 500 pres as well, but I currently only have space for 6 units.
Just wanna say your channel is absolutely fantastic I love everything you post and it's very inspiring for a 17 year old audio engineer looking to get into the field:)! Godbless you and your family!
So satisfying to watch back a tedious process in time-lapse. I'm inspired to finish my cascode boards for the Hafler resurrection project. Thanks homie
What are your thoughts on Elysia? Their Karacter module (2 slots) is the best saturator I've ever heard. Then they have the skulptor and mpressor, single slot. Then other than that it's mainly mastering or stereo bus stuff. I must confess I filled a rack with it all (nearly), last two slots will be Capi. Something for adding sparkle to vox and lead guitars and a preamp. My rack consists of; Skulptor - TDX transient designer - (Elysia) Xfliter - Xpressor - Karacter I use my chain in some cases for sculpting a single drum, but mostly as a bus chain. I recognise I need another less clinical sounding preamp and a simple 3 band EQ, pultec style even. 8 slots 2 ready and waiting for some Capi, based more or less entirely on your obsession and the sound of your mixes. peace
I'm in the process of building a dozen SSL 9000 preamp modules, and 12 VCA compressor modules. I have one of Jeff's racks but will need to build another right quick.
@@chrisdover8507 Oh, right. You get a circuit board and have to put your own parts list together. They're more complicated than most kits because you have to source your own parts, but it is a fun build, just a more advanced build. www.pcbgrinder.com/produktside/9k5-500-series-preamp
I love to see this man - absolutely awesome how you soldered that. I just bought my very first pre amp (tonebeast black) and power conditioner and two mogami cables and I plan to build my own studio rack out of wood. Can't wait to improve my sound on some quality outboard gear!
Retro doublewide ii, and retro 500 pre. Also the spectra 1964 stx 100 mic pre's that's what I got so they're my favorites haha! Cool video think I'm gonna build one now.
I definitely get a taste of your taste on mixes in this vid. Out on a limb here, but the hollow drop back then 3rds & 5ths predominant around 7:13 was nice.... I'm re-introducing myself to intervals, am I close? Whatever it is it sounds great!! Thanks for another great vid, Colt!!
Thanks for watching! Unfortunately I don’t compose any of the music in my videos as there simply isn’t time. I barely have enough time to make the videos themselves LOL. All the music comes from a sound library called epidemic sounds.
The Midas L6 and L10 are incredible cheap here in Germany. The L10 is 222€, approx. $250. Even less, than the Capi. Just fyi. I Love DIY videos by the way. Thanks.
@@ColtCapperrune No. You definitely want to put some blanks in there since not all modules are fully shielded, and the blank front panels provide shielding.
Curious about some IGS stuff, and the cheaper of the trident eq offerings. There's a four band that runs something like 400 doll hairs, but that's just my curiosity. If I were in your seat, I'd probably continue filling it with CAPI because you like them, and I (unfoundedly) think there's something to the idea of building a cohesive rig. Not even informed enough to call it an opinion, but more of a thought centered around everything sharing the same power supply, and having the same final destination. Likely doesn't matter enough to bare consequence. Nice work assembling!
Colt...I just purchased a WesAudio Dione stereo bus compressor (SSL comp). It's a great piece, sounds awesome is digitally controlled analog. You can also download and install the software that makes it possible to monitor, control, and save the settings via USB! WesAudio also makes several other pieces that a great! Check em out...!!!
I have both actually. The small switching power supply works great as long as you have the rack with the filtered backplane. If you go without the filter in the rack then get the big power supply
@@ColtCapperrune Thanks for the light speed answer ! ;) i'm in France, i will then need to check if the filtered version of the rack is available in the EU. Cheers !
Love these videos, very inspiring! I've built out a new Studio in my home in New Hampshire, and will be ordering CAPI gear for sure. Quick question, where do you order your patch bays from ? Any suggestions ?
Hey Colt, because I'm not tracking more than 3 people at a time here, I think a simple patch-bay will work. Thanks for the reply! I hope everything is well in Nashville regarding home businesses.
LC 25 for bass...LC 40 for? And what about those BT50’s? I’m very curious about CAPI EQ’s. I’m doing some research, can anyone help me out here? Hi Colt, Are you using the Capi VP28’s for your main mix buss, and are you planning on using the Platinums on that main mix Buss? Thanks for the nice vid’s, I really dig a lot of what you are doing on this channel, keep up the great work!🤟🏻
Question for you, what power supply did you pick to power your new 500 rack? I am thinking about building on of these and I didn’t see anything about the power supply in your video. Did you just get their standard one, or something else?
Understanding next to nothing about electronics I find these to be the musician equivalent of Legos. I got fed up with basic guitar electronics pretty quick but that was down to a low wattage soldering iron. Maybe I'll dabble in electronics in the future by picking up a few pedal kits and an amp project while I'm at it. But for now I just marvel.
shadow hills is close to you right ?? why not hit them up and review their stuff and what you like … well keep it . easy eh ? great vid as always cheers colt , stay healthy bro
Buenas tardes amigo. Como hago para comprarlo. Ingresé al link pero no veo la opción de agregar a la cesta o carrito. Me podrías indicar? Gracias quedó atento
Murky well played 😂😂 I will still be following my same strategy for making purchases that I discussed in a previous video, so it will likely take some time to fill this rack. But I appreciate the call out lol! Thanks for watching!
@Jeff has some explaining to do! lol. I asked to pick up my order in Nashville and he made me ship them for a lot of extra money! :( He's really a great dude, though!
Clements Audio oh! We are actually pretty tight, hang and talk all the time, car pool to industry parties, etc. I’m sure it’s nothing personal. I don’t think he does in person delivery’s for almost anyone. Thanks for watching!
I believe that's lead free solder? If it isn't I can see so many clod joints (those blobby ball looking ones) that... they will not tolerate you plugging stuff in and out for long. Lead free is a bitch to hand solder :/ (i'm electronics design engineer by trade)

I need help deciding what modules to put in the new rack. What’s your favorite??
What do you need?
Richard Wielgosz mostly EQ’s and compressors
I've never got a clear answer on the differences between the different capi pres. Do you have any insight on that?

Great video Colt. Love the channel.
I’ve been digging on the Phoenix Audio 500 series Pre’s and eq’s lately. Just beautiful sounding gear.
This is cool I think I’m going to get this instead since it is cheaper and diy thanks colt keep up the good work

A VERY Cool Vid! And Dig that AWESOME Background Muisc!!
Awesome video ! Thanks for sharing !
I have a BAE 1073D that I LOVE... Great way to soak up 3 slots in a hurry, lol.
i might be too late- but get some nice blank panels!! helps with some of the temptation to fill the space. works for me, at least :P
Nice build! I like 500series however can't afford em easily in South America (very expensive here xD)
Looks like a fun day at the iron to me!! Awesome you have those resources!! Kill it Colt!

All the good stuff from Capi that you promote, are out of stock 😱
How do you power that thing? it didn’t look like you installed a power supply for it.
The Midas L6 and L10 are incredible cheap here in Germany. The L10 is 222€, approx. $250. Even less, than the Capi.
Just fyi.
I Love DIY videos by the way. Thanks.
Like LEGO for adults and music engineers
Buy some blank rack panels to fill the space. Gives the impression that everything is full, but you can still add stuff.
Marco Saller but that’s kinda a waist of money when the rack will eventually be full?! 😂😜

hi colt - which OPAmps do u use in ur LC-40 and LC_25 ? tnx for info!
midas compressor for €150/$250 is it super great on bass
I'll have to find the last vid regarding "CAPI". Kinda lost but watching....
did you have any trouble soldering the huge caps in?
Well made in the USA because that's where you are haha. PCBs straight from China. Unfortunately that capacity left the states a long time ago.
How about a pair of Focusrite Red 1 Microphone Preamp, it would look and sound awesome ;)
New to this 500 series stuff, but would one of these DIY racks be compatible with all 500 series modules then?
Which CAPI Pre's you find to be best on Drums? What about Elec Guitars?
Really just depends on what you are looking for. Personally my two favorite preamps are the Heiders and the VP-28 Platinum
amazing job! you say idiot proof???? im sure i could never do it
Did that require a separate power supply, or did it come it?
I already had a power supply to run it, but I believe it’s separate when ordering on the site
could I connect api or midas modules in the CAPI? or just the Capi ones? im new at this stuff, thank you.
I just started the video, and you may have addressed it, but what’s the difference between the VPR and the 5xx
Buenas tardes amigo.
Como hago para comprarlo.
Ingresé al link pero no veo la opción de agregar a la cesta o carrito.
Me podrías indicar?

Luis, si no sale opción de agregar a la cesta es que no hay stock.
Capi lleva mucho tiempo con muchos artículos sin stock. Es extraño
Anything from IGS, Rupert Neve or Serpent audio.
Sebastián Díaz LOVE serpent 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Want to build one, but they've been out of stock for a while. :(
How do we find Joe Phillips or the people who can assemble these?
Check out Trace Audio. You can find them on Instagram, they are currently who I would recommend for buying assembled modules. Tell them I sent you
What’s the model of studio monitors you’re using?!
I’m using a pair of event opals, Yamaha NS-10m, and Auratone 5C
does these 9 empty rack spaces go hand in hand with your approach towards buying new gear? :D sorry, just playing devil's advocate here...nice rack :)

Not sure if they make this exact model anymore, but it is the Weller digital
get the meris pitch shifter
