Always moving forward
I need to add more updates to this section. It’s been quite some time since I made one.
A lot has happened since my last post. We moved and I now have more space to use for pedals. I’ve acquired more knowledge and skills, which I’m utilizing in developing new pedals. Foremost is I now have EagleCAD and am designing my own PCBs, as some of you have surely noticed. This is also exponentially increasing my knowledge of circuits, which is already leading to the development of original designs. Hopefully more on that in future posts.
Another big step for me is moving away from producing clones of currently in production circuits. I do believe this is necessary as part of a pedal builders learning process, but the time has come for me to put that aspect in the past. I have shifted my focus to reproducing out of production pedals and developing new designs. I am no longer taking custom orders, as I have a long list of other projects that consume all of my available time, which is little.
This is just a hobby for me, one that has turned into a second job almost. I work my regular M-F 8-5 and also have a family, which leaves little time for pedals. So please understand if inventory is not available.
At the time of writing this I am working on:
New Lovetone’s (I just listed the Ring Stinger)
Two additional Frantone tributes
Two rare Big Muff variants, one you are already familiar with
Another Systech trace and development
Two special fuzzes, inspired by The Black Keys
