Behind the Scenes – Mostard – Part 1: The Name
A boost with a bite Some pedals start with a circuit. Some start with a need.This one started with a jar of mustard. Dijon is just two hours away from where we live, and we have family there—so we make the trip from time to time. It’s the kind of visit that resets you: good… Read more
Behind the Scenes – Basilisk – Part 1: The Name
Some pedals start with a sound When Thomas and I began talking about designing a heavy, stoner-inspired distortion pedal in collaboration with the band Gentle Beast, the goal was clear: it had to be massive, sludgy, and loud enough to shake the Rhine. But more than that, it had to be ours. Basel’s. Something that… 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 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

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 – 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 – Tri-Hormonic Phalanx – Part 1: The Name
Tri-Hormonic Phalanx Naming Story The Vision Behind the Name When I began designing the Tri-Hormonic Phalanx, I had a specific vision: a pedal that captures the spirit of harmonic interplay while offering powerful, versatile tone-shaping capabilities. Naming it, however, turned out to be one of the most unexpectedly challenging yet rewarding parts of the journey.… Read more
Behind The Scenes – Mosferatwo – Part 1: The Name
The Inspiration Behind the Mosferatwo Pedal Naming When I started working on this overdrive pedal, my goal was clear. I wanted to create a warm, dark-sounding overdrive that could take you into the depths of garage blues territory, from dirty grit to greasy fuzz. I’ve always been drawn to the sound of MOSFET technology because… Read more
