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.
