I love tinkering and building and overall messing around with electronics. As soon as I feel like I understand something, I’m usually reminded hard.. that I have a long ways to go, and that is the fun/challenging part of it, and why I think it interests me so much. Because of this interest, I have such an appreciation for other builders, especially when I can relate to their struggles. Be it, finding that circuit/tone in their head, or struggling with the business side of things, etc. At the end of the day we’re all a bunch of nerds in the basement sucking flux fumes all day (or night) trying to make a go with something we like to do.
Now, I’ve mentioned and featured Knobs multiple times. I LOVE their demos. They’re weird. They’re quirky. They’re artistic. And because of that, you can get a glimmer of a pedal potential instead of hearing rock licks. But both types of demos have their place. Both styles should be watched to really get a feel for your next potential pedal purchase.
I was really excited (and hoping) to see a new series (knobs.. correct me if I’m wrong about the series) called Designing Disaster. On this particular video, they posted a video about Industrialectric (Toronto, Canada), which is a new company for me, but I’m SO glad that I saw this. I love how we get to hear the owner/operator of Industrialectric, Andrew Ferrari, talk about how he seeks the sound he’s searching for. I love it.
So, that video was cool.. but.. I was sort of blown away by Rm-1N pedal that was featured in this video. I’ve been wanting a fuzz / crazy reverb for myself.. and wow! I’m very interested in this.. so Knobs.. thank you again.

I got to meet Andrew when I picked up the first ever production RM-1N from him. It’s missing some of the features of the current model but it is by far my favourite pedal. It does everything I want. Andrew was an awesome guy too. Amazing customer service from him.

I admire the Small effect companies that have an idea and pursue their goals with “make or break dedication”. It is often that drive to survive that forces innovative processes and unparalleled quality in their work. Thanks to Knobs & EffectsBay for this video. I think I’ve found that Unique Reverb I’ve been actively seeking …that sets my rig apart from the Standard Brand Name bandwagon. 🙂
