How it works

Build the gear you thought you could only dream of.

You’ve spent years chasing the sound. Through plugins. Through cheap “close enough” clones. Dreaming of rare vintage originals.
Now it’s time to build it for real. We provide the foundation, the knowledge, and the tools—so you can create legendary analog hardware that will outlast trends and inspire for decades.

01

Start with the real foundation

Choose an authentic chassis set for legends like the 176, LA-2A, Pultec EQP-1A or MEQ-5. Precision engineered and made in Germany, every panel, cut-out and layout is built to original specifications with uncompromising attention to detail — creating the foundation for a serious build.

02

Build with confidence

You are guided through the process with illustrated manuals, wiring layouts, complete component lists, and deep project resources — often 50+ pages with hundreds of detailed photos. No guesswork. You’ll know exactly which parts you need and, in many cases, where to source them.

03

Go all in once a year

Once a year, during our "Build Your Legends" Series, selected projects become limited complete kit runs featuring authentic chassis, high-end components, custom-made to original-specifications, and extensive documentation — everything needed to build a true legend in one package.

Tube Opto Compressor

Ask any sound engineer or artist out there to name one of the most iconic tube compressors ever made – the majority would certainly say it’s the Teletronix LA2A. With its extremely silky sound and unrivaled simplicity of controls it’s the go-to weapon for most engineers when it comes to vocals or bass…

Tube Program Equalizer

If there is a holy grail of vintage tube equalizers, the Pultec EQP-1A is certainly it. A true legend of which the magic can be heard on countless records from the golden era of analog recording to the present day. The passive design of amazingly smooth filters paired with a tube amplifier…

Tube Mid Range Equalizer

Most of what can be said about the EQP-1A is true for the MEQ-5 as well: turning the knobs to dial in the EQ feels like a knife going through grandma’s finest handmade piece of butter.
Only this time you cover the “power-range” of frequencies – try it on guitars and you’ll be amazed…

Vari-Mu Limiting Amplifier

Hardly anybody would disagree if we call this wonderful Vari-Mu tube compressor the «epitome of ultimate tube mojo». Released back in 1961 by Universal Audio it can be seen as the predecessor of the world famous UREI 1176 even though the 176 is a completely different animal…
