Brewing Inspiration: Designing Amps & Pedals for the Tone Connoisseur.
Built in Wilmington NC.

These little workhorses are the heartbeat of countless effects pedals, shaping the tones we all love. From fuzz to overdrive, they bring character and life to your guitar’s sound. Lots in store for these little guys.

What’s your favorite transistor-based pedal? #EffectsPedals #DIYPedals #GuitarGear #ToneChasers #allyouneedisfuzz #rangemaster #treblebooster

Excited to dive into some new builds this week! These vintage D311 diodes, D18 diodes, and MP20 transistors just landed—and it’s wild to think they’ve been waiting in their original packaging for over 40 years. Unboxed for the very first time today! #mp20transistor #fuzzpedal #vintagepedals #noscomponents #pedalboardnerds #vintagetone #effectspedals #russiantransistors

here’s a quick video of demoing the Starfire preamp that I built for a customer. They wanted just the preamp but also wanted tremolo and reverb. Enjoy. #preamp #pedalpreamp #gibsonamp #inspiringdevices

Wrapped up a custom build for a customer this morning! They wanted the preamp section from a Gibson TR-1000RVT for their pedalboard. This preamp includes both spring reverb and tremolo, which were customized to perfection. I ended up using an opamp-driven reverb tank, as the original specs were unavailable. #CustomBuild #GuitarGear #Pedalboard #GuitarEffects #Reverb #Tremolo #BoutiquePedals #gibson #gibsonamp

🚨 New prototype boards are in! 🚨 Meet the evil twin brother to our Light Roast Overdrive: the Dark Roast Distortion. With a range that spans classic rock gain to heavy chug, just a few EQ tweaks away from perfection. Get ready to rock. 🎸 #DistortionPedal #HighGainPedal #ChugLife #PedalLife #GuitarEffects #GuitarPedals #KnowYourTone

The light roast overdrive is a great transparent overdrive pedal for players that run a clean amp that just want some grit without changing the tone of their amplifier. A HUGE thank you to @onward_and_edward for putting the pedal through it's paces! #notaclone

New custom build pedal is coming together nicely. This is a custom one off preamp pedal based off an oddball 60s Gibson Starfire TR-1000RVT for customer. Can’t wait to get these built out and record some clips for you to hear.

Not every design is perfect when converted to a PC

Not every design is perfect when converted to a PCB. Making tweaks to dial in the Coffee Grinder circuit to sound just right. Trying to track down some oscilation that its doing at higher gain settings, thus the cut traces on the board and flying leads. Adjusting the gain of the first stage for better clean up when rolling back the guitar volume. #fuzz #fuzzpedal #pcbdesign #guitarpedals #allyouneedisfuzz

I have never been afraid of trying oddball transistors if different circuits just to see what results I have found that some of the great sounding circuits out there just happen to be a happy accident. Look at where fuzz started. A broken channel on a recording console. #fuzzpedalsofinstagram #boostpedal #alwaysexperimenting #knowyourtone #notacloner #guitarpedals

The very first Light Roast Overdrive in the new enclosures! Excited to get these out into the world. Designed to give your pedal platform amp that edge of breakup touch and feel as if it was cranked up. Run it as an "always on" drive for that extra flavor for your tone. Stack it or drive it with other pedals for higher gain crunch.
