I then attached the PCB to the chassis, wired it for six (6) direct outs using RCA jacks.
Here, you can see the six RCA female jacks at the back of the unit. I had to make one of the holes larger to accomodate all the wires. The black rubber tubing you see hasn't been shrinked yet... I just used my wife's hair-dryer to shrink the tubing.
I then brought the unit to my studio, plugged in a dynamic mic, and wired the outputs to my mixer... turned on the power, and voila... sweet, warm, vintage sound... but without the noise! :) I'm very satisfied and happy with the outcome.
