We gave away a Fuzzocalypse to support The Guitar Knobs Podcast

Hey friends,

I build these pedals myself, at home. No marketing machine, no investors, no team down the hall. Just me, a bench, and a stubborn belief that a pedal should feel like something under your fingers and be inspiring to look down and see on your board. The way a pedal plays and the way it looks aren't separate things to me. Both should make you want to pick up the guitar.

And a community that decided I was worth paying attention to. That's you. Lately I've been thinking about how much that actually means.

A small part of that: I gave away a Fuzzocalypse to support The Guitar Knobs podcast, who just hit ten years. Shows like theirs are how a one-person brand like mine gets heard at all, so it felt right to put a pedal in the hands of someone in their corner. See the announcement IG reel below.

But here's the thing. When one of you posts a clip, replies to one of these emails, or just tells a friend, that's the whole engine. A one-person shop doesn't survive on ad budgets. It survives because people show up. You've shown up.

So this one isn't a sale and it isn't a launch. It's a thank you.

Thank you for taking a chance on a name you'd never heard of. For caring about the way an analog circuit actually behaves. For believing vintage sound is worth crafting forward instead of preserving in a glass case.

I'm going to keep building. There's more coming, and I can't wait to put it in your hands. But today I just wanted to say it plainly: I wouldn't be doing this without you.
