for 30 years we designed and built unique effects pedals and valve amplifiers for guitar and bass. We also cloned beloved or hard to find pedals, that perhaps were too precious to take on tour. Or vintage amplifiers that were out of reach due to their desirabliity. All with age appropriate components from NOS (New Old Stock) we had found over the years.
In 2019 we officially shut up shop as day job pressures, plus running a record label meant there was not ime for effects. We did however build one or two special orders in the background.
Fast forward 5 years, and while we never went away, it was time for a more public face. This is it!
(And a new logo!)
As well as the effects below we also have built custom editions for artists, whether that be custom colours (blue with white controls), or custom graphics and symbols - bottom right is actually Dave Fielding from the Chameleons pedalboard with graphics based on his tattoos.
Contact us if you fancy your own variants or colour schemes.
We build the very highest quality, unique effects. Unique twists on pedals you know. How about a phaser where you can alter the phasing waveform? Or a Real Tube Screamer - that uses Tubes!
We're really not. Chief designer Ian has over 30 years in electronics, and 35 in playing in bands - yes he's old. Ours are a bit different. Yeah we do the classics, but with a twist. The Hellraiser is a tube screamer. But it's a TS-808, and TS-9 with symmetric or asymmatric clipping and 3-tone profiles! All controlled from your feet. See, we told you!

For anyone that really absolutely has to have our latest logo on a tee or baseball - I know I do - please contact us below with your preference and size and we'll get one sorted for you. Tees are £20, and Baseballs are £25, incl P&P to UK. Anywhere else we'll have to get back to you.
