Behind the Scenes – Capharnaüm – Part 2: The Sound
Behind The Scenes: The Capharnaüm Sound is built around the tension between chaos and structure.It delivers a dense, aggressive fuzz that feels alive, unpredictable, and raw — yet somehow manages to stay coherent and musical under your hands. Sizzly and biting. At higher settings, Capharnaüm unleashes a wild, chainsaw-like fuzz with an intense sizzle across… Read more
Behind the Scenes – Capharnaüm – Part 1: The Name
From Fuzz Idea to a Sonic Storm When we first started designing what would become Capharnaüm, the goal was clear: create a fuzz pedal that sounds thick, nasty, and raw, with all the visceral punch of classic stoner fuzz—but modernized. We wanted something that would make Fu Manchu sound sick and heavy, but without the… Read more
Behind the Scenes – Twin Peaks Eiger-Mönch – Part 4: The Graphic Design
Eiger Mönch Visual Identity When it came time to design the Twin Peaks Eiger-Mönch, I wanted the visual identity to speak the same language as the sound: clear, spacious, thoughtful, and unmistakably Swiss. As with every pedal I design at RhPf Electronics, I began by listening. Thomas played me the key settings that define what… Read more
Behind the Scenes – Twin Peaks Eiger-Mönch – Part 3: How It Works
Complex Design, Simple Use At its core, the Twin Peaks Eiger-Mönch features a carefully engineered delay circuit. While it offers plenty of sonic depth, its interface remains intuitive and rewarding. We didn’t want to create a pedal with extreme, gimmicky settings that sound great once and then collect dust. Instead, we built something that works… Read more
Behind the Scenes – Twin Peaks Eiger-Mönch – Part 2: The Sound
Echoes Between Peaks The Twin Peaks Eiger-Mönch sound was created to evoke a sense of vastness and movement—like standing between mountains and shouting into the void, only to hear your own voice return with unexpected shape and rhythm. We wanted a delay that didn’t just repeat notes, but told a story with them. One that… Read more
Behind the Scenes – Twin Peaks Eiger-Mönch – Part 1: The Name
Echoes, Mountains, and Mystery Every pedal we design starts with a feeling. With the Twin Peaks Eiger-Mönch, it began as a fascination with space and time — not the outer kind, but the kind that happens when a sound travels, bounces, shifts, and returns changed. At first, it was just a dual delay idea. But… Read more
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 – Mo(s)ghoul – Part 3: How It Works
If Mosferatwo delivered amp-like overdrive and Tri-Hormonic Phalanx expanded into multistage harmonic distortion, then Mo(s)ghoul takes things into high-gain territory, pushing MOSFET saturation to the extreme. Designed to be brutal yet dynamic, Mo(s)ghoul doesn’t rely on traditional clipping diodes or external soft-clipping elements. Instead, it stacks multiple MOSFET gain stages in series, progressively increasing saturation… 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
