A lot of the best collaborations do not start with a plan. They start with a person, a vibe, and that moment where you realise you are talking to someone who gets it without needing the long explanation.
That is exactly how it felt when we got to know Claudia from Sketchy Pedals. We first crossed paths through her other half, Silvio from Loopy Demos. What began as simple gear talk quickly turned into something much bigger. The conversations drifted naturally toward art, ideas, and references, and toward the kind of creative projects that feel more like play than like work. It was obvious early on that Claudia brings a strong DIY spirit to everything she does. Not only in the hands-on way she builds and creates, but also in the way she treats creativity as something you actively push, bend, and shape until it has a personality of its own.
When a Circuit Needs a Name with Teeth
When Mosrawr started taking shape, it was already clear that this pedal would never be polite. The circuit had that raw, heavy bite. The kind of distortion that feels alive under your hands and does not ask for permission. When I described it to Claudia, she immediately locked onto the most important part. Mosrawr had to feel primal, like something that had been asleep for ages and suddenly woke up hungry. From there, the name did not arrive as a branding decision. It arrived as a reaction. “Mosrawr” was her tongue-in-cheek collision of MOSFET and prehistoric roar, funny and fierce at the same time. And once you say it out loud, you can almost hear the pedal answering back.
That was the moment where this stopped being a simple “artwork collaboration” and turned into something more real. Claudia was not just adding visuals to a finished product. She was helping define what the pedal actually is.
Candyland Chaos and a Dinosaur That Fits the Sound
Once the name existed, the visual world almost had to follow. Claudia did not treat Mosrawr like a box that needed a nice picture. She treated it like a character that needed a home. Her idea was to capture the contradiction at the heart of the pedal. Something wild and dangerous wrapped in something sweet and bright. That is where the Parasaurolophus came in. It is her favourite dinosaur, elegant and instantly recognisable, with just enough mischief in its silhouette to match the attitude of the circuit. Then she dropped it into a candy-coloured world where opposites clash. Hard and soft. Cute and chaotic. Prehistoric and pop. Like a collision between Candyland and the Cretaceous.
It sounds absurd on paper, but that is exactly why it works. The bright, sugary palette makes the dinosaur feel almost too playful. Until you remember what Mosrawr does when you step on it. The grin hides the fangs. The look dares you to underestimate it.
Why This One Matters to Us
Working with Claudia felt effortless because she did not come in to “deliver artwork.” She came in with ideas, with instinct, and with a strong point of view. And she let that energy shape the identity of the pedal from the inside out. Mosrawr carries her fingerprints in a way that goes far beyond illustration. She gave it a name, a character, and a visual attitude that matches the sound perfectly.
That is the kind of collaboration we care about at RhPf. Not partnerships for the sake of saying we have them, and not polished marketing stories. But real creative overlap where something new happens because the right people meet at the right time. Mosrawr is one of those moments for us, and we are genuinely proud that Claudia is part of the RhPf world.
