For me, though, the most interesting thing a piece of musical equipment can do for you is inspire a sense of playfulness. It is through this that we find inspiration, and from there, creativity flourishes.

What separates good gear from great gear though? A good piece of gear nails a sound you love. A great piece of gear doesn’t just have one sound in it though. When something is easy enough to twist a couple of knobs and find a great sound, but also deep enough that you can own it for years and still find fun new sounds in it, that’s magic.

My designs are meant to sweep over an enormous swath of territory from vanilla to several different kinds of strange, and work beautifully at each and every point on that map.

When you buy a Demedash Effects device, you’re buying something I’ve designed and worked on from bottom to top. Concept, experimentation, circuitboard layout, enclosure art, user manual, assembly, testing, box design, swag design, everything. I don’t hire out any creative work and I do most of the rest of it myself as well.

I post to Instagram at  @demedasheffects perhaps not as regularly as I should, but regularly enough that it’s worth following for cool tidbits from the shop, updates and my habit of floating ideas on there. For communiques that cut directly to the point and offer pertinent information, my mailing list is the place to go. I send out newsletters whenever a new release is impending or has arrived, but don’t spam anyone unnecessarily. Sign up to the mailing list to be in the know.
