Neon effects

Handmade one at a time in St John's Newfoundland! My work ranges from general repairs, modifications, and custom builds.

For the last 8 years Neon Effects has been a passion project of mine combining my love of music and electronics into a one-man operation building custom analog stompboxes. I specialize in building analog tube amp-emulation overdrives and accurate clones of vintage fuzzes, but when it comes to custom requests Il take on just about any do-able project! Most pedals are made to order, but I often have others for sale either through myself, or at O"Brien's music in downtown St John's! Send me a message of email if you've got any questions!

The 300th pedal giveaway is live! If youd like to enter head to O'Brien's Music Inc. in downtown St. John's and leave some contact info. Deadline to enter is the end of October, and il announce a winner shortly after! Ive been selling my stuff at O'Brien's for many years now, so seemed fitting that the 300th pedal lands at the shop where it all began.

The pedal itself is a recreation of my first model, the Antimatter Overdrive, a pretty simple but great sounding one k**b overdrive i used to sell in the early days.

Hit a big milestone this week with the completion of my 300th pedal! Probably doesnt sound like much but for the relatively few pedals i make every year this is a bit of a big deal for me. Anyways, to celebrate im going to be doing a giveaway, more details coming soon!

BBE 427 clone i did up recently. Pretty nice op amp overdrive with LED clipping, much more open and bright than your average tubescreamer. Also served as a great chance to try out graphic plates for 1590n1 enclosures, came out very nice with the yellow/black swirl!

Had a few pedals come in last month fried from a power overload, including a jhs bender that was blown up beyond repair. Instead of junking it i rebuilt the pedal from the ground up, using the original Hot Silicon fuzz circuit (that jhs ripped off) and a few mods of my own to take it to the next level.

Well this is stupid.

To be honest I don't know how all these tariffs will affect what I do, but as long as I can still get the parts I need and it wont cost me my soul to do it, Il still be here building pedals.

Main thing is that local support is going to be more important than ever, and if you were thinking of buying an American pedal but having second thoughts now, I would be more than happy to build a copy of it, all made by hand locally. Custom work has always been my bread and butter, so if I can get a schematic for it, chances are I can build it.

I know I keep saying it, but the local support is what has kept me doing this for almost 10 years now, and I appreciate every bit of support I get. With any luck all this nonsense will be over soon

Pedals with engraved plates are going to start making their way to shelves across St. John's, starting with this modified big m**f! Its a ram's head circuit, modified with NOS japanese diodes and transistors, and a few circuit tweaks for good measure. Wanted to see how non-latin characters looked, so was a good excuse to do the graphics in japanese. Lights up a beautiful UV violet ontop of a violet/black swirl!

For sale right now at Haymarket Sound, go check it out if you're in the downtown St. John's area, great little shop.

This has been a long time in the making, but im real excited to anounce that going forward il be offering custom acrylic graphic plates for most pedals! Custom graphics have been heavilly requested since day 1, and until now i hadn't figured out a good way to do it, but through months of trial and error I'm finally ready to start putting these on pedals, starting with commissions and soon with all production pedals!

The graphics get designed by me in software, then engraved in reverse on each plate, and because its a physical engraving, the graphics light up real nice, especially in the dark. I can do custom text and even images and patterns, plenty of room to experiment with it.

Il be offering this for custom pedals made in 1590b, bb, and n1 enclosures as a $20 option. Give me a shout if you're interested, real excited to see new customs with these!

Had a real trooper come in for servicing and repairs recently. Havent seen this Ibanez 60s fuzz clone since i built it 4 years ago, but since then its been gigged pretty hard and was in need of some servicing. Cleaned the pots and switch, checked the solder joints and wiring, and gave it a nice cleaning, and with a new set of k**bs she's ready for another 4.

Almost ready for a final test of this before i get to try this out for real! If all goes well should be ready for production soon!

(Not a new model reveal btw, this is just what im using as a test!)
