Custom Guitars, New Pedal Designs & Ready-to-go Fuzz
What I’ve Been Working on Lately — Custom Guitars, New Pedal Designs & Ready-to-Ship Fuzz
It’s been a busy few weeks and I thought I’d take a moment to share some of the recent projects I’ve been working on, from guitar mods to new pedal designs and builds.
🎸 Custom Guitar Mods – fender Strat & Squier Bass Work
First up, I recently gave an 80’s Squier bass a full electronics overhaul. This included rewiring the entire circuit and swapping in all-new pots, jacks, and hardware to bring the instrument back to life. It’s got a great vintage-vibe aesthetic with an angled headstock and red finish, now matched with smooth playability and rock-solid reliability.
On the six-string side, I’ve been modding a Fender Stratocaster, swapping in a Seymour Duncan Mini '59 humbucker in the bridge and wiring it to its own tone control, and reconfiguring the neck and middle pickups to share the other tone knob. It’s a super flexible setup now, perfect for players who want a Strat feel with more tonal options and a bit of humbucker bite.
If you're interested in having your own guitar customised or restored, feel free to get in touch. I love working with players to create instruments that feel and sound right for them.
🔧 Pedals in Progress – New Designs Coming Soon
I’ve just wrapped up the design phase for the octave & envelope filter pedal, it’s a bit of a beast, combining analogue-style octave down with dynamic envelope filter movement. All the circuits are locked in now, and I’ll be moving into the build stage next. Expect something super interactive and playable, tuned for bass and synth-style tones.
I’ve also been developing a Tube Screamer-inspired overdrive, with some unique tweaks. I’m meeting the client later this week to refine it together in-person, which is going to be really fun. If you’ve ever wanted a version of a classic drive that’s been dialled in to your sound, let’s talk.
🔥 Ready to build: Twin Boost and Embers Fuzz
If you’re looking for something special to add to your board now — I’ve got Twin Boost and Embers Fuzz pedals ready to build.
The Twin Boost gives you two stacked transistor boosts, one with gain, one with bias, both with volume controls. You can flip the internal order, use one or both sides, and get everything from a clean push to gritty saturation with amp-like response.
The Embers Fuzz is my take on a classic silicon fuzz, with a tweakable input stage (underdrive) that gives you control over how much clean signal hits the fuzz circuit. The result? Cleaner, textured tones that respond to your playing before everything gets blown up. Or max it out and go full fuzz. Your choice.
Both are handmade, built to order, and shipping from the UK.
