DIY Kits

At Exploding Shed, we mainly sell DIY kits. This means you'll need to assemble and solder the modules yourself.

We offer different types of DIY kits. Some require you to solder only the mechanical components, such as knobs, jacks, and switches, while others require you to solder every component, from ICs and resistors to capacitors.

You'll find detailed information about the difficulty of each build in the module's product description or in the manufacturer's build guide, which is linked at the bottom of the product page.
