I did some mic preamp research in an earlier post, and I ran across a deal on a Symetrix SX202 that I couldn't pass up, and since it was on my good list and in my price range (aka cheap) I bought it. The catch and main reason I went for it, there are tons of documented mods to this (main one by Monte McGuire), most of which involve changing the op amps out. So when I make the plunge for a high roller pre, I can mod this one up.
The main mod is changing out 4560 ICs and replacing the compensation caps on the new IC's. It should be a pretty straight forward process.
