π’π Invitation only Β· September β November 2026π π’

You told us you wanted in. This is the page where it becomes official. Read through, pick your week, fill in your details, and you are on the board. Everything else you need to know is right here.
What this is
One pedalboard. Twelve musicians. Twelve weeks across Switzerland. Every Sunday it changes hands, in person, and the story moves forward.
This is not a gear demo. Nobody is asking you to review anything, explain any pedal, or promote any brand. The board is a stage. What we want is simple: play your music through it and let us help you get it in front of more people. That is the whole thing.
The brands that made this board possible will be in the tags. A mention in a caption here and there is all we ask of you on that front. The rest is yours.
What is on the board (and in the bag)
The board itself this year is provided by Ebbe Design. Two industrial design students from Switzerland that stole the show at Guitars and More 2026, Wettingen, and took over the web with their revolutionary concept.
On the board, you will find the finest Swiss brands have to offer:
- Smirmoor Pedals – SAULE Overdrive
- Smirmoor Pedals – SMARVE Distortion
- Volume & Power Company – Amplitude Modulator
- Volume & Power Company – Q-Field Generator LFO / Envelope Controlled Filter
- The Pill Pedal – The Pill
- Greuter Audio – Fuller Drive & Boost
- Greuter Audio – Germanium OD
- RhPf Electronics – Twin Peaks Eiger-MΓΆnch
- RhPf Electronics – Regista
- VooDrive – VooFuzz
Inside the gig bag, the Touring Board Diary, where the journey is documented from your perspective.
What happens during your week
You have the board from Sunday to Sunday. Use it however you want. But use it! There is no script. No daily challenge. No format to follow.
We are not asking you to demo any of the gear, a word in the caption is all we ask, the content should focus on your music, you as an artist, promote who you are and what you do, this is the goal of the Touring Board.
Post when something feels worth sharing. A short clip of a riff that clicked. A photo of the board in your space. A moment from a rehearsal. Phone quality is completely fine. Unedited is fine. The point is not production value, it is the real thing happening in real time.
One thing that matters: post it during your week. Once your week ends, the board and the spotlight move to the next artist. Posting after the fact takes visibility away from them. We have all put work into keeping this tour moving, so please respect the timing. If something is not ready, leave it. What you share during the week is what counts.
When you post, add all the participating brands as collaborators on Instagram, not just a tag or a mention in the caption. Collaborator tags are what make the post appear on our profiles and on theirs, which directly expands the reach for you. A tag in the caption alone does not do that.
Six things we ask
- Treat the board as you would your own gear. It has a long road ahead.
- Meet the next musician in person on Sunday for the handover. No exceptions unless you reach out to us first.
- Share (loads of!) content during your week and add all brands as collaborators on Instagram. What you post after your week is over no longer belongs to the tour.
- Write something in the Touring Board Diary. A lyric, a thought, a sketch, a bad joke. The more you put in, the richer it gets for everyone who comes after you.
- Leave a piece of yourself on the case. A sticker, a signature, a patch. It lives on the case for the rest of the tour and ends up on our workshop wall.
What you get out of it
A closing documentary and paper magazine will follow, featuring every artist and every piece of gear in proportion to their contribution to the journey.
During your week, we relay your content across our channels, share your music, write about you, and tell your story. We will also get in touch to set up a proper conversation about your work. We handle the scheduling and the questions. Nothing you need to prepare.
If the week goes well and the connection feels right, we will want to gift you one of our pedals. Some of the other brands on the board may want to add something too. No promises, but good energy tends to come back around.
For some of the people who join the Touring Board, this becomes the beginning of something longer. If the energy is there, we may invite you into the RhPf Family, our circle of artists and collaborators we stay close to. No contracts, no conditions. Just an ongoing relationship between people who believe in each other’s work.
Code of conduct
This project is built on mutual respect. By joining you agree to uphold that. We reserve the right to end participation without notice if any of the following occurs:
- Hate speech of any kind
- Harassment or bullying
- Racism, sexism, homophobia, or any form of discrimination
We hold ourselves to the same standard. Always.
