Something happened in Leeds
We met Doug Tolley from Chase Bliss for the first time last year at the Brighton Guitar Show 2025, one of the loveliest humans you'll come across in this industry. He said: you should come to Leeds.
We didn't think twice.
Some shows you go to because you should. Leeds Pedal Show 2026 felt like one we wanted to go to. It's only in its second year, built by people who genuinely love this stuff, and we're proud to say we've been there almost from the very beginning.
The show gave us something we'd been quietly waiting for, a reason to finally let people see what we've been building.
Once again, Fuzz Fields was out in the open! Next to it sat the Piluxx Fuzz, ten units, that's it, never again. A single-knob fuzz with an internal oscillator hiding inside. Pure, focused, and a little unhinged in the best possible way. We're putting the finishing touches on it as we write this, and it's almost ready to leave the workshop, we're expecting it to land this month.
And then there was Cassetta. Still a prototype, still finding its final shape, but already one of the most alive things we've ever plugged in. A stereo delay built around the logic of tape: wow, flutter, heads that age, delays that breathe and drift into something almost atmospheric, I would describe it as aetherial. It's not ready yet. But seeing people's faces when they played it for the first time made us want to finish it even more.
Twenty pedal companies. Five hours. Nowhere near enough time, but more than enough to remind us why we do this.
We got to spend time with good friends: Stefan Karlsson from guitarpedalx.com, Philip Mallett from Pedal Experiments, and Ben a.k.a. DivKid. And we made a handful of new ones too, which is honestly the best thing a show like this can give you.
A big thank you to Ross, who built this whole thing from the ground up. You can feel his energy in every corner of the show, the kind of person who creates space for small builders to exist and be seen. We're already looking forward to next year.
If Cassetta or the Piluxx caught your eye, we'd love to know. No pressure, no hard sell, just drop us a message or reply to this email. That's how we figure out what comes next.
Thanks for being here with us.
Fuzz Fields 9/10 Guitar.com.
We built something we believed in. Now one of the biggest names in guitar agrees.
Guitar.com has given Fuzz Fields a 9 out of 10 and we're not going to pretend that doesn't mean something. This pedal represents the best of what we do at BLUE FX DEVICES. Every decision, every iteration, every detail was deliberate. That shows up in a review like this.
If you've been on the fence, Richard's full in-depth breakdown on Guitar.com will tell you everything you need to know. No fluff, just an honest assessment of what Fuzz Fields can do.
The score is great. The pedal is better. Go hear it for yourself.
New year, new office, new products
It All Begins Here
New Office
In late November, we moved to a new office in the heart of Frederiksberg, just one minute from Aksels Møllers Have metro station. Our new space is a charming co-working office housed in a historic building that served as a blacksmith's workshop since 1896.
While we had to say goodbye to our friends at Auricle, with whom we shared an office and many great moments, we're deeply grateful for our time together. This move brings us closer to the city center, making commuting easier for our team and providing convenient access for anyone who wants to try our products.In late November, we moved to a new office in the heart of Frederiksberg, just one minute from Aksel Møllers Have metro station.

Our Team is Growing
We're excited to welcome Leo Kyds to the team! Leonidas is a passionate photographer with a strong background in music venue photography, and he's joining us to capture all the important moments. With our schedule getting busier, his skills will be invaluable for documenting our events, behind the scenes, and products.
New Partnerships
We wrapped up 2025 with some exciting new partnerships with local stores in Japan and Greece, and there's more coming soon! We're building a network of Blue fx devices hubs with stores that share our passion for expressive effect pedals, making it easier for you to experience our devices in person.
What's Next
2026 is shaping up to be a busy year for us. With your support, we're moving forward as a small business, and we're excited to announce that we're already designing our next product. It will be an essential piece of our expressive effect pedals ecosystem, and we're aiming to unveil it in spring 2026.
