Past Classes

Distortion Pedal Workshop 2

After the success of our first workshop, another was scheduled in November 2022.

Distortion Pedal Workshop 1

In May 2022, we launched our first one-day workshop on how to build the “Main Drag Pedal”, which is a distortion pedal with a rather unusual design. As most pedals have a fixed "sound", this one is switchable, with a switchable input capacitor that can let you dial in your bass response. The output has switchable diode clipping. You can choose no diode clipping, symmetrical, or asymmetrical.

Tube Amp Symposium
With Colleen Fazio and Pat Kauffman

I teamed up with Colleen Fazio for this symposium in which we covered topics from technical to the musical – everything from amp maintenance, servicing, electronics theory, tone searching, and tips and tricks.
