From 2003-2009, I ran a small business building electronic devices on a custom-order basis for musicians around the world. The projects ranged from adding an expression pedal jack to a completely customized synthesizer. I also designed some circuits for small effects pedal companies. All in all, there are probably a few hundred devices with my signature scribbled in Sharpie somewhere on their case. This page shows some of the more interesting projects I completed. Click on any of the thumbnails in the scrolling box below for information, images, soundclips, and videos of each project.
All-in-one Analog Multieffect
This analog multieffect pedal combines a distortion, phaser, tremolo, delay, and a compressor in one box. It's amazing how putting a bunch of circuits in one box can make you think of your pedals in a different way. I mostly like it because it looks like a an insane beast of a pedal, and as a whole unit it is, but really it's just a bunch of circuits strung together. There are bypass switches for all of the circuits and knobs to tweak the sound.
