Builds + Repairs

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, or let me do it for you! I mean, it takes a special kind of person to actually ENJOY building op amps, soldering around 30 components to a stamp sized board! If you love what you do, what you make will be amazing, and I love building electronic devices.

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.
