Hi guys,
Thought it was about time I officially introduced myself. I'm Dan - effects pedal builder. Reasonably new to this forum, but I'm loving the advice and friendliness off all the members I've interacted with so far!
Anyway, I do a little bit of pedal building. It's not quite my main job yet, although I'd probably like it to be. It's certainly what I have the most fun doing, so I've set it up as a business. I would like to mention that I'm hoping not to tread on anyone's toes - I recognise the fantastic job that Frederic Effects and other builders are doing.
The direction it all seems to be taking for me is building one-offs, individual custom pedals, tailored to users. For example, people usually come to me with an idea for a pedal - a name or concept, and I try make that real for them. Or they want two separate pedals in one enclosure, for convenience and to save pedalboard space. Or an old, hard to buy or rare pedal.
I won't be mass producing, or having PCBs fabricated, these will all be made to order. To that end, every pedal also includes the customer's name on the graphics.
I have a Facebook page

Here are a few of my favourite builds so far ... you can see loads more on the Facebook page.
