Hi, I’m Neil. I design original guitar pedals.
I’ve been building and designing pedals for over a decade. I work full-time at Dr. Scientist Sounds, and I’ve designed original effects for companies like Big Ear Pedals, Oneder Effects, and several others. I’ve also helped independent builders and artists bring their own ideas to life — whether for a product launch, a signature sound, or a one-off project.
Over the years, I’ve developed a deep understanding of what makes a great pedal — both technically and creatively. From analog distortion circuits to complex digital multi-effects, I love working across all kinds of ideas and formats.
One thing I don’t do? Clones.
I’m not interested in copying what’s already out there — and I’m guessing you aren’t either. Every pedal I design is original. It might be based on a client’s vision, a rough sketch, or a weird idea we dream up together — but it’s always something new.
If you’ve got an idea, I’d love to help make it real.
If you don’t have an idea yet, that’s okay too — I can help you find one.
