With Mike Matthews, in his office.

Next time I plan on playing “Route 22” with him. His barrelhouse piano will be perfect.

Dr.No, a mad-pedal-scientist working out of France was one of my more intriguing interviews. His pedal, Dybbuk, above is in a league all its own. He did take the mask off but I promised to keep his identity. You gotta love it.

This is a simple flipbook example of “Page 1 and 2” as they will generally look for each of the fifty companies. Pages 3 & 4 will have more in text, smaller photos of 4 other pedals and some candids of the staff and the graphic artist perhaps.

My cover is a work in progress with AllPedal’s amazing “Macrodose.”

I expect to produce the entire book as a flipbook. It will be part of the “Deluxe” package of the hardcover, glossy 12”x12” coffee table book.

More to follow.

“Stomp Box Art” will be a coffee-table book showcasing the best artwork found on guitar pedals. The growing trend, especially by newer boutique companies, to make their pedals more noticeable is driving up the stakes. Many companies are even hiring established artists to bring their skills to paint the new canvas of the effects pedal.

Expect an electronic “flipbook” within the year that will showcase over 50 companies and their amazing art-faced pedals. Our cover features All-Pedals’ “Macrodose” with artwork by Patrick Valiquette. An envelope filter, “Macrodose” is the brainchild of CEO David Young and Brian Marshall of Subdecay.

Soon after will be the glossy coffee table book (12”x12”) at approximately 250 pages.

Below are a few samples that will be included in the book.

Some of the more impressionable works of art starting with ACLAM’s “Dr. Robert” with artwork by Klaus Voorman. Yes, the fifth Beatle and cover artist on Revolver.

I was privileged to receive a grand tour of Electro Harmonix from SVP Mike Castellano and Owen Matthews, Mike’s son. I could talk all day about the experience.
