"I built this!"

There's nothing like the feeling of patching in something you built for the first time. And every time you use it you'll think, "I built this."

Title

Put the "engineering" back in audio engineer.

The tools of your craft aren't a black box anymore. You know exactly what's inside, because you put it there.

Title

"But I've never soldered before."

No worries.

We offer the best guides in the industry, expert support, replacement parts, and flat-rate repairs (you won’t need it.)

What People Are Saying

1200+ honest reviews, from beginners to experts

So Rewarding!

“ Nothing feels as fulfilling as building your own gear, and actually capturing some fantastic sounds with it. That’s exactly what I got out of this and will definitely be getting a second!”

Jack Stewart / 73P Class-A Mic Preamp

Great first project

“ This kit was a very easy to build! I have little to no experience soldering and I had no issues at all.
Very clear instructions, parts organization and the DI sounds great. Will definitely buy some of the more advanced kits in the future!”

Franly Reynoso / FE2 DI Box

Exactly what I was looking for!!!

“ I barely needed the aid of the assembly guide. If you are new to builds, this is a great place to start. Best of all it does exactly what it is advertised to do.”

Evan Sabby / PR502 Rack Mount Power Supply

Just Yes

“ I was very new to soldering and had only done 2 builds before taking this on. I had SO much fun and when you finally hear it (on anything), it’s one of the most rewarding things you’ll do as an engineer. This has me rethinking a lot of gear purchases in the future. Definitely will be trying the Gbus and different color options for the pre’s. Dont sleep on DIY.”

Michael Hitchcock / 73P Class-A Mic Preamp

Incredible Value and Extremely High Quality

“ As someone who has been building kits for a long time, I can say without equivocation that the G Bus Compressor from DIY Recording is the highest quality kit I've ever built! Literally everything seems top-notch, from the quality of the components, the build manual, to the thick gauge steel used in the enclosure: this is a truly professional piece of gear and you will save a lot of money by building your own. What an incredible value!”

Thomas Dial / G Bus VCA Compressor

Bobs Your Uncle!

“ This kit was a pleasure to build. Beautifully laid out with easy to follow and informative instructions. Oh, and it sounds wonderful. Thank DIYRE”

Peter Carpentier / 73P Class-A Mic Preamp

Great Support

“ I had some issues getting a signal to pass through the EQ at first, so I reached out to DIYRE support. They were quick to respond and very helpful—it turned out the problem was on my end. The instructions were really detailed and straightforward, and the build itself was a lot of fun. Now that it’s up and running, I’ve done some initial recording with it and it sounds fantastic. I definitely recommend both this product and DIYRE as a solid company.”

Will V / EQP5 Passive Equalizer

Simple and Effective

“ I have now come to build quite a few DIY preamps, this is by far the easiest build, well laid out, designed and thought through. If you would like to start your DIY projects, CP5 is the perfect module to start with. Enjoy every bit of this module, really impressed!!”

Jasper Lawrence / CP5 Colour Mic Preamp

CTX is superb!

“ Easy to build with the included guide. Even a beginner like me found it no problem to put together. I own quite a few pre’s but first time venturing into 500 territory. I decided to give the CP5 with the CTX colour a try and glad I did. If you are on the fence don’t be. It definitely punches way above its weight class! DIYRE thank you for making amazing gear at an affordable price so that everyone can enjoy it!”
