Announcement    Kits in Stock as of 12/1/20
------------------------------------
This is for the kit only. The service must be purchased separately through my listing.

- Bottlehead Crack with Speedball kits: $335

- Whammy Kit: $250

- Bottlehead Upgraded Power Cord: $90 ($70 if purchased with an amp)

All other Bottlehead kits take about 2 weeks delivery time while Elekit kits take 1 week delivery time to get it sent to me
=========================
Update 11/9/20
NEW PURCHASING SYSTEM: I have changed my system for purchasing kits and service. I realized it didn't make sense to put the kit price along with my service price together in the listing since selling fees will be charged on the kit price as well as the service price, instead of solely on my service price. In addition to this, Etsy has a new mandatory advertising program that takes away 10% whenever my item gets sold through social media like Facebook or Instagram. So this is an added fee that was being taken from the kit price. Hence the change in my listing pricing system.

I have changed all of my listings to reflect my service price relative to the kit being sold. However all kits must be purchased either by you, in which you will have the item sent to me directly or you may send me the funds via PayPal (you will be in charge of fees) for me to purchase.

If you want to purchase an amp and service from me please contact me via message or e-mail me at jimc2487 [!at] gmail.com

Frequently asked questions
What cables will I need to get the amp running?

If you plan on hooking the amp directly to a desktop computer or laptop, you’ll need a 3.5mm to 2-Male RCA cable that is not included with the amp.

Do I need a Digital Audio Converter (DAC)?

It is highly recommended, but not absolutely necessary. A DAC will greatly improve sound quality and it will clear up noise coming from your computer. It also scales well, so the better the DAC the better the sound.

Source (PC, Laptop) --> DAC --> Amp

Can you build any other amps besides the ones listed?

Absolutely. I can build any headphone amp that comes in a kit.

I live outside the US, can you change the voltage of the amp?

Yes. All the amps that I'm selling have a universal transformer so I can wire it to the appropriate voltage. Just send me a note if you need me to modify it

Do you ship worldwide and will my package arrive safely?

Yes, I ship globally. I've had customers as far as the UK, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Germany. All the amps that I sold abroad arrived safely and in perfect working order. I make sure all my amps have plenty of cushion and are neatly packed.

What kind of audio files should I be using?

At least 320kbps. FLAC or better is best.

What kind of solder do you use for your kits?

Cardas Eutectic Solder. Contains Sn, Pb, Cu, Ag. Silver for higher conductivity and stronger solder joints. This solder is top of the line
