Stonefisher Electronics

You can count on Stonefisher Electronics to deliver products that are:

• assembled by hand, here in Centerport, New York. At the moment, I prefer designing and assembling with classic through hole components. So for now, this means each device is soldered and assembled by me, by hand, using these supremely neat parts.
• often designed using vintage, NOS components. I acquired an inventory of pristine NOS components (1,500 lbs on two pallets if you can believe it ) from a long-defunct electronics surplus broker and there were many, many mojo wonders within. Now, I won't presently be making the case that these old mojo components sound better than their modern, (can I say, "thrill-less"?) equivalents, nor that use of these parts should be the reason you buy these devices. But I will make the argument that the Stonefisher devices made with these old mojo parts are terrific regardless. So any expansive, old-soul mojo goodness you might feel when considering the vintage pedigree of Stonefisher's electronic guts is pure cream on top of the inherent kick-ass sound and feel.
• bound in thougtfully designed enclosures, with understated graphics. A great pedal is a great pedal whether it's got an edge to edge psychedelic mural graphic, a punning reference to pop culture, or no graphcis at all. Stonefisher enclosures will sit most of the way towards the tamer, less-happening, end of this spectrum.

You can also count on the Stonefisher operation to be:

• easy to reach and eager to please. If you purchase a Stonefisher Electronics product you are entitled to a quality electronic device as well as a friendly point of contact here should you have a question. (I mean, even if you don't make a purchase, you're still entitled to a fast and friendly point of contact.) And that's what you'll get. I don't see a point in doing this any other way.
• mindful about fancy packaging and avoidable material waste. As much as I appreciate the art of it (and would certainly enjoy designing some of these elaborate packages myself) I'm going to make an effort to achieve some halfway attractive packaging that is low(er) impact than some of what's out there. No spread of nifty trinkets. No fancy 'unboxing' videos... just a solid device in some practical packaging. Open it. Plug it in. Dig it. And be on your way.
