I’m available for new builds, pedal repair, rehousing, and guitar maintenance and setups. One of my favorite things to work on are old, neglected, and hard-used effects pedals by bringing them back to life. A lot of times it’s a simple fix- broken solder joint, missing LED, bad jacks or switches, while others require more attention and detailed work such as replacing surface mount components and fixing the pc board itself.
I’ve had a very successful track record so far, and I regularly look for broken and non-functioning pedals online to repair. If you have a busted pedal sitting around, or your favorite has a buzz or loses signal, shoot me a message and we’ll talk!
