ABOUT US & OUR PEDALS

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

From PCB design and soldering to drilling, painting, and laser engraving. Every pedal is built entirely in-house.

ABOUT JOHN

After 20+ years woking in various engineering roles, with experience in automation, electronics, consumer product development, optics—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 that same creativity used to create the Volume & Power product portfolio combined with insights from my research and development past to consulting—helping clients take ideas from concept to reality. My background includes developing high-volume consumer products, designing and deploying robotic systems for cleanroom environments, creating custom electronics and prototyping early stage machine concepts.

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 traditional tones.
