DIY Recording Equipment Colour Duo 1U Rack 2020s - Black

Up for sale is a meticulously built and fully tested DIYRE Colour Duo 1U Rack version. If you've been looking to add this versatile stereo analog saturation processor to your hybrid setup, here is your chance to skip the massive international build queues, import duties, and hours at the soldering bench. The assembled units are chronically out of stock from the developer, making this a rare opportunity to get a ready-to-rack unit immediately.

Please Note: This listing is for the Colour Duo host chassis/utility rack only. No color modules are included in this sale, giving you a completely blank canvas to load in your own choice of discrete saturation cards (such as individual tape, tube, or transformer circuits) to perfectly customize your signal path.

Reason for Selling:

I absolutely love the Colour workflow, but I recently freed up some slots in my 500-series lunchbox. Since I don’t need the colour duo preamps I'm moving my saturation stages over to the 500-series format to streamline my rack space. This unit is 100% functional, pristine, and ready to go to work in your studio.

Official Product Description & Features:

"The Colour Duo is the ultimate tool for adding analog color to your tracks. Each of the Duo's two channels is a full channel strip, with mic preamps, line inputs, and three Colour slots each. Each channel features three Colour slots, with their own independent controls and bypass switches. The MIX knob allows for versatile parallel signal processing without making extra tracks in your project file. Push your Colour modules as hard as you'd like, and blend in the dry signal till you get exactly the sound you're searching for. The Colour Duo is the first Colour Palette that lets you swap Colours on the fly without any tools. Simply loosen the thumb screws on the front panel and the entire panel slides out, giving you immediate access to the Colours at any time."
