I am looking at building a MOTM system. I have experience building my
own audio cables and have this soldering experience. How difficult is
it to build the more challenging modules - MOTM-300 MOTM-440.
I am trying to decide if the $100 saved per module is worth the effort
on these more difficult units.
If you have a decent soldering iron that will not destroy the PCB, if
you know how to make a good solder joint, and you can follow
instructions, you can build any of the MOTM modules. The VCO is listed
as difficult and the EG as easy, but it really comes down to just taking
longer. Don't rush, follow the very detailed instructions, and you'll be
fine.
I think it all hinges on whether or not you can make good solder joints
and take your time.
