History
How did Butterfly Effect Pedals come to be, and why are our prices so damn good?
I'm a self-confesed geek. I started out making my own studio gear. Faced with not being able to afford a UA1176 rack compressor, I decided to build my own. So I started with probably some of the most difficult things to build. It went surprisingly well, and I really enjoyed it. To date, I've made myself the 1176, a GSSL Mixbus compressor, Gyraf G9 2 channel tube mic preamp and getting on for 60 effect pedals.
Friends started to find out what I was up to and admire my work - which was nice. Some even asked me if I could make something for them. Being musicians, the majority of them are, by default, totally skint, so I wanted to make the effects as affordable as possible.
That's the ethos behind the whole Butterfly Effect project. It's about people being able to make music, not about me making a load of money out of them. Obviously I do need to make 'some' money to make it worth my while, but I'll always keep the cost of my pedals as low as I can.
