calling the super-small-scale pedal builders....
Posted: Tue Jul 21, 2015 7:31 am
Hi all:
Hopefully some of you all know me, from selling me pedals or on the various threads. I'm also really active over at Muffwiggers, and occasionally on TGP.
My wife and I are in the very early stages of starting a new business. We both love fuzz (
I'm so lucky) and pedals. We are looking for very small-scale pedal builders who have unique designs. We are not a distributor or retailers, but I don't want to give away the business model just yet; we're not ready. What I will say is that we will get your pedal into a bunch of different hands, solicit feedback and demos, and generally build buzz. We will also provide linkage from our website to yours and to your retailer. This business is aimed squarely at the ILF demographic.
Just to be clear, we are not asking for free pedals, nor anything else. It is simple: we are buying pedals right now. (I have lots of feedback here, on Reverb, on the *bay, etc)
We want your really cool designs. Unique stuff, not just another muff variation unless it is really unique please. No clones of in-production pedals unless they are a true variation. We like analog. We like digital. We do not like modified Boss or other mods. We like true-bypass. We like center neg. 9v. We want your own builds. Your proudest creations. To participate you don't need to build 100's of pedals a year. We are only looking for one of each model right now. Again, we're not in competition with your distributors or retailers or your web-channel sales.
So if you are interested in selling us a pedal or two of your build, please get in touch with me. Tell me what you've got, what they do, and where I can see or hear a demo of each pedal. You may have questions, so feel free to PM me and ask away.
We are trying to help serve the ILF community in a new way.
PS. Sorry to post this in General Gear but DIY didn't really seem right and I didn't want to run through contacting everyone on the Shark Tank individually. Mods: feel free to move this where appropriate.
PPS. For those of you who aren't builders and are wondering what's up with this post, please have patience. We will be launching our business soon to the public.
