My soldering's pretty good, so np.
I haven't built one so I don't know, but afaik it's based on the EQ from the Trident 80b console which you can google was very popular and renowned for its 'sweetness'.

It features no transformers so it won't likely sound Nevish and it uses IC not discrete opamps so it probably won't sound API. But those are the two main reasons it's so cheap a build, and judging from where the design comes from, I'm sure it sounds fantastic.

Plus, for comparison, SSLs have no transformers or discrete opamps and those still sound pretty good.

It should definitely be a top quality unit.
