At RhPf Electronics, we are more than just a brand—we are a statement. A belief. Beyond The Tone is our commitment to fostering the music scene, supporting local musicians and manufacturers, and giving back to the community. Every pedal we create carries a deeper purpose, built not just to sound great but also to help strengthen the ecosystem that keeps live music alive.
Supporting Local Music Stores
In a world where online shopping dominates, we believe that local music stores should remain at the heart of the musician’s experience. That’s why we actively support local retailers by offering special in-store pricing for our pedals. Visiting a local shop isn’t just about getting gear—it’s about experiencing the product firsthand, building personal connections, and benefiting from the knowledge of passionate professionals.
To encourage this, we provide lower in-store pricing—a way to help musicians engage with their local shops, interact with real people, and keep the local music scene thriving. Furthermore, this approach ensures that musicians receive expert advice and hands-on experience before making a purchase.
Building a Stronger Music Community
Beyond making pedals, we work to give musicians more visibility and recognition. This is why we launched several initiatives to connect artists with broader audiences:
- Rising Tones Sessions – A platform where we feature bands and artists we believe deserve more recognition. These in-depth pieces highlight musicians’ stories, their sound, and their journey. Read the latest Rising Tones Sessions here.
- Rising Tones Bands to Watch Playlist – A curated Spotify playlist featuring upcoming Swiss artists, helping them reach new audiences. Check out the playlist here.
- Rising Gigs – A live music calendar that lists gigs from all bands we feature. We want this to grow into a go-to resource for anyone looking to discover great live music in Switzerland. Explore the Rising Gigs calendar.
Giving Back
We also believe that music should be a vehicle for good, which is why we actively support local and international charities. Our commitment extends beyond music, aiming to make a difference in the lives of those in need:
- Thanksgiver Schweiz – Helping provide instruments and gear to musicians in need. Read more about our involvement.
- Pituitary Network Association – Raising awareness for pituitary disorders, a cause close to our hearts. Learn about our support.
Why We Do This
Unlike big companies chasing profit, we have full-time jobs and do this in our evenings and weekends. RhPf Electronics exists not to maximize sales but to maximize music.
Since our passion drives us, we build pedals because we love sound. Moreover, we collaborate with local stores because we believe in personal connections. Additionally, we highlight musicians because their art deserves recognition. Most importantly, we support charities because music has the power to change lives.
At RhPf, it’s about making more music and less of everything else.
Join us in shaping a stronger, more connected, and more vibrant music community. Let’s go beyond the tone.
