Behind the Scenes – The Craft of RhPf Electronics
Welcome to the ‘Behind the Scenes’ series from RhPf Electronics! Here, we pull back the curtain to share the stories, inspiration, and processes that go into crafting our unique guitar pedals.
From the spark of an idea to the final design and sound testing, each post takes you deeper into the creative journey.
Whether you’re a musician, gear enthusiast, or simply curious about the artistry behind pedal design, this series offers an inside look at the passion and innovation driving RhPf Electronics.
Behind The Scenes – Moschops – Part 1: The Name
The Story Behind the Moschops Tremolo Pedal Name Every pedal name at RhPf Electronics begins with a spark — a mood, a texture, a story. With Moschops, that story had three roots: an ancient creature, a technical pun, and the pounding rhythmic feel that only a tremolo can provide. The result? A name that’s as… Read more
Behind The Scenes – RhPf Electronics – Part 3: The Origin of the Name
Every name carries a story, and RhPf Electronics is no exception. In this installment of Behind the Scenes, we dive into the origins of our brand name, revealing the thought process and inspiration that led to its creation. A Name with Meaning When starting this journey into designing and building pedals, finding the right name… Read more
Behind The Scenes – Tri-Hormonic Phalanx – Part 3: How It Works
More Than Just a Boost Pedal The Tri-Hormonic Phalanx isn’t just another boost pedal—it’s a multi-stage tone enhancer that gives you full control over your sound, from clean boost to dynamic harmonic enhancement. Unlike conventional boost pedals that simply raise volume, the Tri-Hormonic Phalanx actively shapes and enhances the signal before it reaches the rest… Read more
Behind The Scenes – Mo(s)ghoul – Part 2: The Sound
Mo(s)ghoul Pedal Sound Design A Sonic Transformation The Mo(s)ghoul isn’t just a distortion pedal—it’s a sonic transformation. The Mo(s)ghoul Pedal Sound Design is a delight. Just like the ghouls that inspired it, the sound shifts from clean and composed to raw, feral, and hauntingly powerful. By relying entirely on MOSFET transistors for natural distortion, the… Read more
Behind The Scenes – Mo(s)ghoul – Part 1: The Name
The Mo(s)ghoul Pedal Name Inspiration A Name Born from Duality Every great creation starts with a spark of inspiration, and the Mo(s)ghoul pedal is no exception. When it came to naming this MOSFET distortion pedal, I wanted to encapsulate the duality of its character—the transition from pristine, clean tones to raw, unapologetic distortion. The name… Read more
Behind The Scenes – Mosferatwo – Part 4: The Graphic Design
Designing the Mosferatwo: A Visual Identity Merging Sophistication with Dark Energy When the Mosferatwo was complete, I knew the graphic design had to reflect its character—a blend of sophistication and raw, dark energy. My initial concept revolved around turning the MOSFET transistor symbol into a vampire-like face. It felt like the perfect nod to the… Read more
Behind The Scenes – Mosferatwo – Part 3: How It Works
Mosferatwo Pedal Circuit Design The Mosferatwo is not your typical overdrive pedal. Its unique sound comes from its carefully crafted circuit, designed entirely with MOSFET (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor) technology. MOSFETs are used throughout the pedal. Not only in the clipping stages but also in the op-amps and transistors for amplification. Shaping its dynamic and responsive… Read more
Behind The Scenes – Tri-Hormonic Phalanx – Part 2: The Sound
A Pedal Designed for Balance The Tri-Hormonic Phalanx is a pedal born from the idea of balance, not just in design but in sound. My goal was to create something versatile, expressive, and unique—a pedal that could be tailored to the player’s exact needs while offering tones that feel alive and full of character. More… Read more
Behind The Scenes – Mosferatwo – Part 2: The Sound
Mosferatwo Pedal Sound Characteristics A Warm, Dark, and Saturated Tone When I set out to create the Mosferatwo, I had a clear vision for the kind of sound I wanted: warm, dark, and saturated with a natural richness that feels like an extension of the guitar itself. I wanted it to live in that sweet… Read more
