Custom

There are so many choices when it comes to audio processors – but sometimes you want a piece that doesn’t exist on the shelf at the local gear shop. Time to Do It Yourself! With careful listening and selection, the components in these home-builds can be superior to stock options, and being hand-built/tested, can end up built better than at a factory. I mean, it takes a special kind of person to actually ENJOY soldering op amps! If you love what you do, what you make will be amazing.

But we don’t all have time to build and test our discreet op amps, compressors, EQs, and mic pres. That’s where I come in: if you need a kit built, or want to swap an op amp or transformer or capacitors for a flavour change, I’ve built many and have the necessary tools and test equipment to build them to a very high tolerance. Components are selected to the closest values (most within 1% as standard in the shop), and matched well where needed.
