ABOUT

I started building guitar pedals in 2016. Right around this time I was getting heavily into guitar and synthesizers. Not before long, I began to delve into further sonic exploration, eventually buying my first guitar pedal, a Big Muff Pi. I became obsessed with noise and tone. There were certain effects that seemed nearly unattainable. The only option was to build it yourself.

The first pedal I ever built was an Alembic Stratoblaster. The bare aluminum enclosure would not suffice; it was begging to have some sort of design on it. So, I came up with the design that would eventually (nearly 10 years later!) become the High-Striker Distortion. When brainstorming, I had a desire to make the High-Striker Distortion (the first effect pedal I ever designed from the ground up) pay tribute to the first design I ever placed upon bare aluminum. 

The second pedal I ever built and my first ever fuzz was the Jordan Bosstone. This pedal in particular really opened my mind to the world of tonal possibilities. I really loved its ability to self-oscillate at certain settings. I had never experienced something like that in an effect pedal. I was floored.

The next pedals I built were the Green Ringer Octave Up, Ampeg Scrambler, and Mu-Tron Micro V. These fully solidified my obsession with building effects pedals, and even more so my love for designing the graphics for each enclosure. As I amassed numerous effects, my love of them compounded as I began to experiment stacking them together to create new sounds. By this time, I was running my synthesizer through them; the experimentation was superb. Speaking of those first five or so pedals, I used them with my Arturia Microbrute to record a lot of my first ambient electronic album ‘Fell, Destroyed.’ It was truly the most enriching, rewarding feeling, crafting your own sounds.

Wholeheartedly, creating the designs for each enclosure has been an absolute joy of mine. It is truly an endless endeavor similar to music discovery. I am a huge fan of alternate colorways, again a never-ending pursuit; I deeply love color.

The name Reverie Circuitry was inspired by the 2014 album 'Reverie Lagoon: Music For Escapism Only' by the band Seahaven. I am a huge fan of this album. I highly recommend it! 

Reverie Circuitry is my way of sharing my love of music, art, and design. I deeply appreciate all of you for the support!! Thank You, Endlessly...!!!
