Yeah, I wish we had a few more details, like maybe area of the country they were in, or specific pedals / mods they were known for...

You know, I didn't even pay attention the wife part. Unless Devi was married before the transitioning, kind of removes her out of the equation. I'm not trying to be presumptuous either, I really have no idea.


Yea this is a tough one because not many boutique brand existed in the 90's and you certainly did not see them in many guitar stores. Perhaps this was a super small company that was there and left just as fast. Or perhaps this is an elaborate test to our fuzz love and the fuzz gods are angry with us for not knowing.

I think this thread's a test for ILF. What kind of test? I don't know, but it's some kind of test.

Could also be a facet of the Berenstein Bears timeline.

I'm curious as to the method by which the OP was looking at these. Mid 1990s was pretty deep into the whole real world thing, and (at least in my corner of the universe) the early adopters of the internet method were sort of an outlier.

Which boils stuff down to magazines, physical shops, and word of mouth.

I worked in a music (instrument) store in the mid to late 90s, and while it sort of centered on weird stuff we were not hip enough to carry such things, which brings up region. My memories are sort of fogged from that period though.

Yea that's what I'm saying. I was in lots of music shops in the 90's because they still existed. LOL. I cannot for the life of me recall ever seeing anything that wasn't Boss, Dan Electro or EHX...hell you were lucky if they even carried EHX from my memory. At least in my area. Then you'd have Morley or something else every once in awhile, but most store did not even carry fucking pedals. That's why I owned a Boss DS-1 and a fucking Fabtone back in the 90's. It was the ONLY shit I could get my hands on. The internet was dial up, so I didn't look at that stuff. Just Guitar World magazine.

Yeah.
It was the 90s after all.
I'm fairly certain I was there, but you know...

jwar: Hello, Internet?
Internet: Yes?
jwar: Would you, please, show me effects pedals that are painted by the wife of the builder?
Internet: NO!

It was too busy trying to pull up Kathy Ireland pics for me. That moment when you're just sitting there waiting, waiting, waiting and then it stops and the pictures is still not complete. hahahaha

Don't try to download pedal schematics either.

It will take half an hour and half the time your attempt will fail anyway, but you won't know it until you try to print it out.

Earliest sites I remember where like lastgasp around 2000. Musictoyz started at the end of 2000 (which was the first one I remember ordering from). Our local music store carried weird custom effects with hand painted stuff in the 1990s (and would commission some) but they were most likely around for the country/vintage studios to probably rent(which was the way to do it back then because stuff was comparatively expensive it felt like). And they would have like 4 sitting next to shelves of DOD and zoom.

All the kids/indie rockers were all about scoring vintage ehx in the 1990s even though most everyone thought effects were for the weak (even tuners). At least that is my memory.

Even in 2000, most people wanted check/money order/ Western Union. Easy credit card/PayPal didn't exist really.

Maybe Cornish replaced with wife with a label maker at some point?

I had a 14.4 until 2001...so maybe I was more in reality haha. Just had email for some occasional school stuff.

Hyperreal...spent some time there reading all the art/hippie junk way back.

r33t.org .... My friend wrote a Java app to redirect port traffic from 80 to something else to bypass the local proxy so we could play subspace and read r33t.org. internet was still kinda nerds though. After school we walked through the dust to shows.

I think we ran a dalnet or something irc thing. Eggdrops and stuff. We had a webserver too. But it was like not a big thing...like update stuff once a week. I think we recoded circle mud and had it running off my friends dsl...but that had to had been 2000. I did all the leveling curves and made two handed weapons work!

DOD/Digitech
Ibanez
Arion
Some companies like Dunlap, Washburn, Peavey, etc. were testing the waters with stuff, but didn't seem to get a lot of traction.
I recall MXR started reissuing things (or ramped up production) around then as well.
I swear there were some more high end products that weren't coming from small builders, but they were apparently forgettable.

Early to mid 90s was really the golden age for rack effects it seems.

EHX was very, very spotty in production and shipping and distribution back then.

They kept going under or coming back under a different corporate umbrella as well.

Also was a dark, dark time for most pedal stuff.

Only reason I had access to good shit then was my favorite store in college had been there since the early 60s and had a crate full of ever-changing random shit the owner pulled out of his basement that had been there forever and didn't sell.

As I bought stuff, he cycled in more.

Pretty sure the OG Freakshow artist is a dude. Also did some stuff for Fuzzhugger. Cool as shit, though.
