Guitar Effects Pedal, "Total Sonic Annihilation," 2013
Add to SetSummary
This guitar effects pedal is an example of the growing culture of creators building custom noisemaking devices. Death By Audio is a company that works in opposition to mass-production--they actively choose to hand-assemble and solder their pedals. These decisions, alongside the unique sonic qualities of the pedals, all feed into traditions of musical craftsmanship, amateur invention, and "DIY" spirit.
