So we did a thing today. We hosted our first effects pedal building class! We’ve been in the planning phase for several months and we were finally ready to make a test run.
I offer tremendous thanks to Amir Akhlaghi for designing the circuit, compiling and manufacturing all the parts, and being an awesome instructor. Also thank you to Sawyer Franklin for agreeing to be our test subject. He was patient and attentive while we worked through some challenges in the plan and in logistics. He did a knockout job building his first pedal.
So, to answer your question: yes. We will be hosting more classes this year. Our capacity will be 4 students per class. I’ll share more details later. However if you are interested in learning more about building your own pedal with Amir Akhlaghi and theguitarshopky please checkout the link in our stories. It’ll take you to a Google form for you to fill out.
Last but not least thank you to Georgetown Music Sessions for letting us use the massive band room to conduct our class. Oh, and Happy Birthday Wes Bennett !
