The Stepping Razor demo by Pedal Experiments ( ) is live on their YouTube channel. I must say, the second part really speaks to me :)

Behold! Stepping Razor is here!

Stepping Razor is an overdrive/distortion pedal. Our take on the classic rodent-themed circuit comes with several twists, among which are a parallel clean blend and three clipping modes.

It didn’t take too long to put a reverb before Stepping Razor and (slowly) dive into the shoegaze wonderland.
There will be more of this of course, but for now enjoy the .instruments Beam Reverb into the sonic pressure washer :)

I strongly believe that one cannot have too many reverbs, which naturally led me to getting this amazing piece of gear from .instruments from Birmingham. I’m still exploring it but so far it sounds absolutely beautiful!

Rainbow Beam by is a wild fuzz with ring mod, and it’s my first ever encounter with ring modulation. I absolutely love it and I’m yet to properly figure out how to use it.

Big news incoming! 🚨 We’ve just launched our own webstore! We no longer have to deal with Reverb.com fees or email orders (we still love to hear from you about crazy custom and mod ideas, though). EU customers will notice that now VAT has to be added to the total but that’s the price of running a project like this in Europe. Yes, DNM has now fully evolved from a hobby project to a fully legal business operation. With or without VAT, our hand-built pedals are still cheaper than most mass-manufactured units.

So thanks to everyone for the immense support so far. The best is yet to come, starting in May when we drop the next DNM pedal.
