Legendary tones. Hand-built. Sane prices.

Faithful recreations of rare, long-gone pedals (Lovetone and friends), built one at a time in Winnipeg. All the magic of the originals, minus the vintage-market heart attack.

US friends, I miss you 💔

A 50% tariff on pedals means I've had to pause shipping to the US for now. It stinks. Sign up for emails at the bottom of the page and you'll be the first to know when it's back on.

Everywhere else in the world: pedals are a go! Questions? Drop me a line.

Why Artisanal Effects?

  • Hand-built in Winnipeg

    Every pedal is soldered, wired and tested by me, one at a time. I'm an electrical engineer who's been building pedals for 15+ years. No assembly line, no robots.

  • Same circuits, saner prices

    The same audio path as the rare originals, in a pedalboard-friendly box, for a fraction of what they fetch on the vintage market.

  • Out of stock? Not out of luck

    Most pedals are built to order. Place your order, I'll warm up the soldering iron, and yours ships when it's ready.
