Life too short for long YouTube videos? Please see the ‘Interesting bits and go-to sections’ information below.


We had the great opportunity to visit the USA in October 2017. While en route to Riff City Guitar in New Hope, Minnesota, we stopped via Bethel, Connecticut to meet one of the boutique effects world’s true pioneers: Mike Piera, aka Analog Man!
Mike was kind enough to show us around his awesome collection of old stuff before taking a brief look at the production side of Analog Man. It’s a very small company of skilled and dedicated staff making exceptional quality analogue effects boxes that draw from, evolve, and indeed greatly surpass many vintage classic designs.
This is Part 1 of our experience, that includes a very quick flick through some Analog Man core pedals. In Part 2 we will dive deeper into Mike’s incredible world of Sun Face Fuzz pedals to see what we can learn.
In the meantime, please enjoy the video…
