Description: The entry way into the distortion world for many, the famous RAT distortion pedal has been there since the 1970’s hard rock, 1980’s goth, into the 1990’s grunge, 2000’s indie, only to name a few, and shows no signs of going away any time soon. This curious variant gives us more compression, and you can totally walk away from it without getting trapped within its legacy. Totally safe. Of course.

Description: From late 70’s shred, to early 90’s shoegaze, to even the occasional jazz, a certain black distortion pedal has been a mainstay for decades, and with excellent reasons. Known as the bread and butter of gain effects, if you tried it, you get it.

Description: This drawing is totally not inspired by a certain coca-cola of guitars. And I’m totally not a huge fan of their (whose?) stuff. *wink wink*

Description: Clean, pristine, bright… None of these describe this drawing, but they sure cover the pedal itself!

Description: If you’re happy and you know it wear a shirt.

Description: A grand synthesiser, to be sure. Entirely analog, or as close as a digital drawing can get!

Description: Classic effect pedal design for gear enthusiasts. The fuzz (or fuzztortion, if you will) of your dreams, popular amongst the grunge and shoegaze scenes from the 90s, experimental rock from the 70s, garage scene from the 00’s… I mean, let’s face it, the list goes on. Who would get tired of hearing or seeing it?

Description: Repetition legitimises, repetition legitimises, rEpeTitiOn legItiMises, rrreeeepetion leeegitimmmmise, repetion legtimses, petion lemise, patio times… For anyone who likes the warm warbled repeats of this adorable little box.

Description: The accessory for when you’re not really sure what’s happening, or what you’re gonna do, or what’s your part in all of this mess. Is it fatalistic? Depressive? Humorous? Who knows?

Description: Everyone loves that “analog warmth”, don’t we? Though sometimes the nostalgia glasses might just distort our view just enough that reality doesn’t really come into the picture anymore. Vinyl records used to be the mainstream thing until they weren’t, then they came back with a vengeance, but are they what they used to be? Are we?

Description: BLEEP, BLEEP, GOD BLEEP BLEEPING BLEEP.

Description: A friendly little warthog for lovers of… well… warthogs. Pigs too, I guess.

Description: Ever hear of the ditoo? Just a small Bluetooth speaker for lovers of pixel art and vaporwave accessories. Bit of a loving tribute to days gone past… That never really happened anyway.

Description: When you’re absolutely certain of what you wanna say, but maybe the effort isn’t really worth it, and so on…

Description: Because maybe there’s more to that internal monologue we keep hearing all the time.

Description: Just a light switch. Because maybe we can switch it up a bit… I’ll see myself out.

Description: Ya want some chorus with that?

Description: A vaporaven, if you will.

Description: A twist on an infamous photograph.

Description: A human through and trough.

Description: Look, an airplane! Arguably the most famous phaser pedal out there, making its mark under foots of every genre and culture, from jazzy, wavy electric pianos to neo psychedelic sounds of certain tame, muscle-car-inspired artists. Not many effect units can boast of this level of presence in the music world, but it’s the kind of versatile pedal that just evokes *that* sound. And it looks cool to boot!

Description: Lights up the non-existant room, huh?

Description: The quintessential offset guitar that has made its mark from country, funk, and surf music, up to the alternative throes of indie, shoegaze, and grunge scenes. An insanely comfortable instrument that just looks like the coolest thing ever and sounds only like itself (until you put some fancy humbuckers, at least!). May the jangle live on, because Jaguars rule!

Description: A classic that just refuses to go away. A camera that instantly prints your picture with all the analog goodness your heart desires, in a nostalgic little frame. Thank the heavens for the hipster community for loving this camera, making it cone back in style enough that now I can find film for it with little to no effort. Yeah, it doesn’t have the digital control, or the 35mm grain, but it’s still a fine camera and you know you find it cool. *DISCLAIMER: All profits made from this design may be used towards creating and photographing important moments in life.

Description: Why relic it when you can glitch it?

Description: For when David’s too fancy-pants for you.

Description: Noisy little bugger.

Description: Instead of choosing between burning out or fading away, maybe just go electric? Admittedly this design was inspired by the 90s shoegaze and grunge aesthetic, but to every musician out there: can you tell me you were never playing by yourself, or on stage, or just at a jam, and everything just clicked? That coda you never wanted to end, getting the perfect tone for a phrase, or just hearing everything go right in the pocket? Can anyone ever tell you music isn’t msgical having gone through that?

Description: You ever rocked out so hard you glitched?

Description: Is it a drug? A beverage? A basic human necessity? Well, yes. A nicely roasted, freshly ground, flavourful cup of coffee can be mana from heaven, or just a little treat. Honestly, this design was purely done for me, but you should also go ahead and everyday give yourself a present. Don’t plan on it, just let it happen. Now, how do you take it?

Description: Made to be the best guitar ever, the Jazzmaster ended up becoming the underdog for the longest time. Even though it’s made it’s mark on 60’s surf music, then in the 70’s rock (thank you for trying Elvis Costello, but offsets were not yet a sound salvation, nor were they sweeping up the nation), and 80’s post punk, it took the wild 90’s alt rock icons to convince “the man” that we actually liked this offset design, and would pay money for it. Lo and behold, now they got a whole segment of the guitar community dedicated to them (what was the last Fender line without a Jazzmaster? Yeah…) So this is just my favourite basic config with my favourite colour scheme. Ya just gotta love it!

Description: Maybe we’re crazy.
