Hi, I have been testing my new preamp which sounds lovely! I have never heard a SM57 sound this fat! 

The only thing that doesn't seem to work is the 48v. Any tips on what to check?

The 48V circuit is very straightforward:
It goes from the back connector (lower finger) to switch SW1 to the input XLR through R1, R2, R3.
Check the solder joints on these components.

It turns out it is across all of my modules. Weird, I didn't have this before.

Engaging phantom power only puts out about 8 volts DC. So I guess that its something faulty in my RND R6. I will check it with them. 

Thanks!
