I first picked up a pair of drumsticks 30-odd years ago, got bored with not being able to play them due to the noise so moved onto the guitar and bass (I love them all equally!)
After many years of repairing/refinishing/customising other peoples guitars I decided i’d be better off making them myself…it worked out cheaper than buying them and far more entertaining.

Throughout the years the only pedals i’ve continuously used have been Electro Harmonix. Simply nothing like ‘em, period.
