Well I went and did it. I'm legitimately building my pedals and selling them on the open market. For some time I've been doing Kustom work and after some influence from my friends/customers I've decided to just do this. 

El Rey Effects, Kustom guitar pedals built by musicians for musicians.

I've got my good friend Donny Conrad doing some killer artwork and I've mapped and created some of the best sounding pedals out there. Right now I'm showcasing 4 pedals to start things off,…

I sat down recently with one of the Streetvibes writers to talk about booking here in Cinci. Not that it's different from any other town, but it's funny how some young bands just don't "get it" as far as treating it like a business.

Just got the start of my chest piece tonight! Good lord, why didn't anyone tell me how fucking painful it is to get inked on your sternum? I'll post some pics as soon as I can clean this thing off. It's a Black Plague Death Doctor...a bit more steampunk, with some dead flowers and leaves. Eventually it will have two vultures on each side as well

Probably one of the best things about getting a few days off around Christmas is being able to update websites and get much needed mixing done on songs. The website has been given a facelift and I'm pretty happy with it. I'm really not sure how many people seek out band pages these days with Facebook and Reverbnation and the Hideout, but it's still nice to have.

Head on over and give a look if you have a chance.…
