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.
Stereo Chorus/Vibrato/Panner
This pedal combines a chorus, vibrato, tremolo, stereo chorus (both split and combined), and panner in one box. All of the effects share a single LFO, so they are always in sync. The depth of the chorus (also vibrato level) has a dedicated knob, as does the width of pitch modulation. Both outputs have their own tremolo depth knob. The unit can be used in mono or stereo, with dedicated footswitches to switch between the various possible effect combinations. Every modulation sound can be used on its own, or in combination with any of the others. The pedal has a lot of effects crammed into one box, so it's a bit daunting to use, but it generates gorgeous modulation tones.
