Pedal Manufacturers in New Zealand

Post by jeremyb »

We were having a talk at the gearfest the other day about kiwi pedal makers, as Michael from Flux Effects came along to show off his awesome pedals and we were trying to remember all the local guys who were making cool stuff, so I thought this was worthy of a thread to document... anyone got some more examples?

Silver Pistol
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

Not really, he's old school and pretty low key from what i've observed. He's usually got a couple of things on Trademe. I'm not sure if i'd call him a manufacturer tbh, but i thought he deserved a mention.

Hmmm nothing since 2013 on the magnetic fields blog and I don't think Jeremy is doing much if any pedals any more, he's more into synths I think!
