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… Read more

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… Read more

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… Read more

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… Read more

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:… 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, 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 wasn’t just sonically powerful, but emotionally rooted,… 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… 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 somewhere… 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 playful… 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… Read more
