Our friend Luka Seifert aka RIP Swirl asked us if we can build a guitar pedal for his next solo album “Blurry” released by Public Possession. This design task was interesting for us as a studio because it went beyond the task of shaping a physical object, it was about shaping a sound and it’s interaction.

Based on some patched-together established circuits we tried to approach the sonic ideas in Luka’s head in a collaborative and iterative process. Finally we designed our first PCB.

The very archaic appearance corresponds to the rather brutal sound effect. But the two beveled surfaces of the case also fulfil a practical purpose. The pedal lives on the floor and is mainly operated by foot. The on-off footswitch is angled towards the user and the knobs, which are operated by hand, are located on the opposite "roof” side and are thus protected against accidental kicks.

Coming back soon. Thanks for your patience. boostfx.eu – Sign up to be notified
