ABOUT US & OUR PEDALS

Volume & Power builds boutique analog effects pedals for guitar and bass—designed to push sonic boundaries while delivering the dependable tones musicians trust. From doom to shoegaze, electro to industrial, our pedals are made for artists who want both innovation and playability.

Every pedal is built entirely in-house: from PCB design and soldering to drilling, painting, and engraving. We obsess over every detail so you can focus on creating.

ABOUT JOHN

After 20+ years in engineering—spanning automation, product design, and testing—I found my way back to guitar through an unlikely project: reducing pump noise in coffee machines. That deep dive into acoustics reignited my passion for sound and set me on the path to building pedals full-time.

Beyond Volume & Power, I bring the same precision and creativity to engineering consulting—helping clients take ideas from concept to reality. My background includes developing high-volume consumer products, designing robotic systems for cleanroom environments, and creating custom electronics for testing and prototyping.

I enjoy in turning complex electromechanical challenges into clear, actionable solutions—through strong visual communication using CAD, process mapping, and graphic design tools. This blend of creativity and technical expertise shapes how I design pedals: streamlined, intuitive, and built to perform.

I’ve been collecting, building, and experimenting with pedals for over 30 years. What started as a personal obsession is now an expanding range of drive and modulation effects—crafted for musicians who want tools that inspire new sounds without losing touch with the classics.
