About Us

Hi , my name is Jean-Pierre and i'm the founder of French compagny Ittoram Audio. Being a musician myself, I was constantly in search of legendary instruments (drum machines, synthesizers) that we hear on the greatest records.
However, it was impossible for me to buy these machines which cost thousands of dollars.
Fortunately, DIY was the solution to access these instruments for a fraction of the price of buying it.
In 2024, I decided to resurrect one of these machines, the Simmons Digital Clap Trap, and give other enthusiasts the opportunity to build it too. Ittoram audio was born.

  • Everyone can build one. All of our kits come with photos and step-by-step guides.

  • Why DIY? You save money by sourcing yourself your components. You can thus build equipment which is no longer manufactured and which sometimes costs thousands of Euros. DIY is a great way to learn electronics and understand how circuits work. As a result, you are able to repair your equipment yourself and extend its lifespan. Successfully completing a project gives you incredible satisfaction.
