An archive of every RhPf Electronics post, story, and deep dive
So here we are.
At some point, we realized something simple. We write a lot. More importantly, we care about what we write. Each post starts somewhere specific, often with a pedal on the bench, a conversation with a musician, or a question we could not shake. Over time, though, those posts tend to slip further down the page. Links drift away. Stories lose sight of each other.
That never felt right.
So instead of letting things fade quietly, we brought them back together. The Endless Scroll exists to keep everything in reach, not frozen in time, but alive and connected.
Rather than a static archive, think of this page as a living shelf. One where older pieces still lean into newer ones, and where ideas can cross paths again without asking for permission.
RhPf Electronics Articles Archive
The RhPf Electronics Articles Archive gathers our latest one hundred posts in one continuously updated place. Nothing here competes for attention. Nothing gets filtered out for being too old, too niche, or too slow-burning. If we wrote it with intent, it belongs.
As you scroll, you will move through long-form pedal stories, circuit philosophy, tone experiments, collaborations, event recaps, and reflections on why we build the way we do. Sometimes the writing goes deep into technical territory. Other times it stays personal and reflective. Often, it does both at once.
That balance is deliberate. Tone lives in the details, but it also lives in the people, the places, and the moments around the gear.
By keeping the RhPf Electronics Articles Archive in one place, it becomes easier to trace those threads over time. You can watch ideas mature, see projects take shape, and notice how our voice stays human even as the catalogue grows.
Why this archive exists
This page does not replace browsing. Instead, it encourages wandering.
Sometimes you arrive with a clear idea of what you are looking for. Other times, you start scrolling and let curiosity do the work. Either way, bringing everything together lets older pieces sit comfortably beside newer ones. Connections reappear. Half-forgotten thoughts resurface. Posts written months ago still get read, not because they are recent, but because they still belong.
More than anything, this archive reflects how we see our work. Articles are not disposable. They are part of an ongoing conversation that keeps unfolding.
Inside the RhPf Electronics Articles Archive
Inside the RhPf Electronics Articles Archive, you will find writing that explains, questions, explores, and occasionally just shares excitement for the sake of it. There is no rush here and no pressure to skim. Just a clear, honest path through everything we have published so far.
If you landed here by accident, scroll a little.
If you came looking for something specific, chances are it is closer than you think.
Either way, welcome to the long form.

Good Morning America! Another Tariff Update
Good morning, America! July 24 has arrived, the temporary US import surcharge has expired, and we finally know what comes next for RhPf pedals travelling from Switzerland to the United States.

Behind the Scenes – Regista – Part 1: The Name
A Midfield Beginning I have always been a football fan. I love the rhythm of the game, the movement between players, and the way a match can shift in a single instant when someone reads the field better than everyone else. My eyes never stayed on the striker. Instead, they drifted to the middle of…

Behind the Scenes – Regista – Part 2: The Sound
The Console Nobody Remembers Ask any engineer to name the great Neve designs, and you will hear the same answers every time. The 1073. The 1081. The 80 Series consoles that defined the sound of rock in the 1970s. Those modules are cloned, obsessed over, and reproduced in every format imaginable. They have achieved the…
-
Behind the Scenes – Regista – Part 3: How It Works
A Console Mindset in a Pedal Format Regista looks simple at first glance, yet the internal architecture follows the logic of a recording console rather than a typical guitar pedal. Every stage of the circuit works toward the same purpose. The goal is to give the player precise and musical control of the mids, similar…

Behind the Scenes – Regista – Part 4: The Graphic Design
We Just Can’t Ever Have Just a Simple Conversation Most of our conversations do not start with a brief. Thomas cannot seem to answer a simple question without first taking you on a twenty-minute journey through his entire emotional history with the subject, and this one was no different. It began with his first encounter…

Gear Critics Is Alive: Cutaway on Mosphoros
Cutaway Guitar Magazine has published Fer Gasbuckers’ full review of the Mosphoros in its June 2026 edition! Naturally, we wanted to know what he thought of the pedal. What we did not expect was how much pleasure we would take from simply reading the piece. The review is positive, certainly, but that is not what…

Behind the Scenes – Catana
Some collaborations are planned. Some collaborations are planned. Others feel like they were already waiting somewhere in the dark, long before the people involved ever crossed paths. This one was the latter. For this special edition, we had the honor of collaborating with Oz; an extraordinary photographer and visual artist who lived in Basel with…

One of Ten New Dirt Pedals You Need in 2026 Guitar.com has included Mosrawr in its guide to ten new dirt pedals you need in 2026.

Mosphoros Reaches Guitar Publications Around the World

RhPf Plugged In – Guitars and More 2026
From The Ground Up A year goes by fast, until you stand in the same place again and realise how much has changed. Guitars and More 2026 felt like that for us. We could not help but think back to where it started. In 2025, we showed up for the first time with a tiny…

Rising Tones Sessions: Ronny Rast at Atlantis Basel
We first came across Ronny Rast by chance on Instagram. One of those moments where you stop scrolling without really knowing why, then stay a little longer because something feels different. He was young, yet the way he played and sang didn’t feel borrowed or imitated, there was something grounded in it, something that felt…

Mo(s)Ghoul and the 90s Wall of Sound
When the Coverage Matches the Sound in Your Head Since releasing Mo(s)Ghoul, several guitar publications have explored what sits behind its thick, layered distortion. Premier Guitar, Guitarload, and Loopy Demos each approached the pedal differently, yet all three found the same central character. Mo(s)Ghoul was built around the scale of 1990s alternative guitar sounds. Think…

The Story Behind Narcissistic Basilisk From the Shadow of an Old Cement Factory During week three of the RhPf Touring Board, the board arrived in Biel/Bienne at the rehearsal space of Monti and Dan from Crawling Crows.

Shodhana Featured on Guitar Pedal X
When Balance Becomes Audible Some pedals explain themselves instantly. Others need to be played before they make sense. Shodhana has always belonged to the second group. At first glance, the layout looks almost restrained. Two knobs. No toggle switches. No extended EQ section. Compared to feature-heavy designs, it appears quiet. However, once a player plugs…

RhPf Plugged In – Tag der offenen Tür at School of Rock Basel
Some days unfold exactly as they should. On January 31st, we joined the Tag der offenen Tür at School of Rock Basel and spent the afternoon doing one simple thing: opening doors to sound.

RhPf Touring Board – Week 11: Violettes
When the Touring Board Learns to Listen For Week 11, the Touring Board steps into a different kind of space. After weeks shaped by momentum, projection, and physical energy, the journey slows deliberately. This time, attention shifts inward. As a result, nuance matters as much as volume, and silence becomes part of the music rather…

RhPf Touring Board – Week 10: Théo – KAHFA
The Touring Board Enters Heavier Territory For Week 10, the Touring Board moves north into the Jura, and the shift is immediate. The surroundings grow rougher, the air feels denser, and the music follows suit. After weeks shaped by groove, melody, and rhythmic nuance, this stop pulls everything inward. Space tightens. Pressure builds. Sound turns…

RhPf Touring Board – Week 9: Léa Gamba
The Touring Board Heads South to Martigny For Week 9, the Touring Board continues its journey south into Valais, where the setting subtly reshapes the music.

Gain Staging Guitar Pedals
How to Stack Drives Without Losing Your Dynamics When a Board Looks Finished but Stops Feeling Right At some point, almost everyone builds a board that looks finished.

2 Year Tumorversary
Two Years Ago, Everything Went Out of Focus Two years ago today, I went to the eye doctor because reading had become strangely difficult.

Behind the Scenes – Mosphoros – Part 4: The Graphic Design
Finding the Shape of a New Myth When I first heard the name Mosphoros, I immediately understood that the character behind it was not just another mascot. The name plays on “the bringer of MOSFET,” and it carries the weight of a newly invented figure in a fictional mythology. My goal became clear from the…

Strings Attached – Interview with Patrick Tschäppät
How did you start getting into music? Pat: Honestly, it all started at home. My parents were deep into music, especially my dad. He had this huge rock collection, but it wasn’t just about the records. He loved the myths behind the musicians, the backstage stories, the chaos, the magic. Those were my bedtime stories.…

Strings Attached – Interview with Adams & Lenny – M.O.T.H.E.R.
For people who might not know M.O.T.H.E.R. yet, how did it all begin? Lenny: It really started back in 2019. I had just ended my fencing career after 14 years and suddenly found myself with a lot of free time. I was a bit lost, to be honest. Then I had a pretty bad bike…

Behind the Scenes – Mosphoros – Part 3: How It Works
The Architecture of Motion Mosphoros was designed around movement. Instead of a single gain block followed by a tone circuit, it uses several interacting MOSFET stages that build texture, depth, and harmonic weight as you play. Each section responds to the previous one, so the sound never just increases in volume; it grows in character.…
-
Behind the Scenes – Mosphoros – Part 2: The Sound
Beyond Tubes For decades, the holy grail of guitar tone has been the tube amp. The sag, the bloom, the compression, it’s the sound everyone loves. But tubes are also fragile, inconsistent, and, frankly, obsolete. So the question became: why stop there? Why not capture that same organic feel with modern components, and push it…
-
Behind the Scenes – Mosphoros – Part 1: The Name
The Birth of a God Mode MOSFET Drive Some pedals begin with a sound. Mosphoros began with a challenge.I wanted to build the ultimate all-MOSFET drive. Not yet another “MOSFET-based” pedal that just borrows the diodes for clipping and calls it a day, but one that truly lives and breathes MOSFET tone from input to…
-
Behind the Scenes – Mosrawr – Part 3: How It Works
Building a Fuzz Around Movement Mosrawr isn’t just another wall-of-fuzz pedal. It was designed to feel alive, to move, shift, and react as you play. Instead of chasing raw volume or saturation alone, it focuses on how those elements evolve through the gain structure. Each stage shapes the texture differently, so the sound builds rather…
-
Behind the Scenes – Mosrawr – Part 2: The Sound
From Feral Texture to Sonic Avalanche When Silvio from Loopy Demos first tried the Mo(s)ghoul, he instantly locked onto the texture. That sticky, saturated fuzz that turns notes into a molten wall of sound. “The same texture,” he told us, “but with a more aggressive EQ would be awesome.” That single comment sparked what would…
-
Behind the Scenes – Mosrawr – Part 4: The Graphic Design
Candyland Chaos For the Mosrawr artwork, I wanted to capture that perfect contradiction: something wild and dangerous wrapped in something sweet and bright. The circuit itself sounds strong, distorted, and biting, so the visual had to mirror that raw intensity but also tease it with humor and color. The star of the design is my…

Behind the Scenes – Mosrawr – Part 1: The Name
A Roar from the Past Some names just appear out of nowhere, others growl their way into existence.Mosrawr was one of those. When Thomas first told me about the circuit, he described it as raw, heavy, and full of bite, the kind of distortion that doesn’t politely knock, it kicks the door in. I immediately…

On July 29th, something unexpected landed in our inbox—a moment that split time into “before” and “after”: Premier Guitar had just published a full feature on the Mosferatwo. Wait. What?

Behind the Scenes – Shodhana – Part 4: The Graphic Design
A Visual Expression of Balance The moment we settled on the name Shodhana, the visual direction started forming in my mind. Thomas explained that the circuit was all about balance, between clean and driven, transparent and colored, and the word itself, Shodhana, felt like a perfect fit. I wanted the artwork to reflect that same…

Behind the Scenes – Shodhana – Part 3: How It Works
A Circuit Built on Balance From the very start, Shodhana was built around a single guiding idea: balance. Not only in tone, but also in architecture, function, and feel. It deliberately lives in the space between transparency and character, and between simplicity and depth, all without leaning on complex tone stacks or graphic EQs. Instead,…

Behind the Scenes – Shodhana – Part 1: The Name
A Balanced Beginning When I first began designing the overdrive that would eventually become Shodhana, my goal was simple, but ambitious. I wanted something intuitive, elegant, and expressive. A two-knob overdrive that could deliver not just great tone, but tonal balance, a concept that kept resurfacing throughout the process. The idea was to make a…

From Dreamboards to Drag-and-Drop: RhPf on PedalBoard Planner
Here’s a story we never thought we’d get to tell. Back when RhPf Electronics was nothing more than a drawer full of hand-drawn schematics and breadboards, we spent way too many hours on PedalBoardPlanner.com. Plotting dream rigs. Arranging imaginary chains. Swapping fuzzes in and out of fantasy boards we couldn’t afford. That’s why this news…

Behind the Scenes – Mostard – Part 4: The Graphic Design
The Taste of an Idea Mostard started as a joke, a riff on “mustard,” of course, but also a spicy nod to something hotter, brighter, and unapologetically bold. It had to be yellow. It had to be loud. And above all, it had to feel like something that could only exist in a world where…
