About me
Hey there, I'm Kaz, the founder of Canned Monsters. Welcome to my corner where I hope you'll find something you really love.
I've been playing bass guitar since high school (yes, back in the nineties) and in 2019, I shifted gears to pedal building. It all started when a friend lent me his soldering iron to build my first clone. Since then, I've been tinkering with circuits, creating multiple clones, and tweaking designs for friends and myself. Exploring this new world of sound has been pure joy.
Around 2019, I stumbled upon Marcus Reeves, the founder of Electro Design, and was captivated by the aesthetic of his pedals. I was searching for similar point-to-point pedals suitable for bass guitars without modifications, but couldn't find any. That's when the idea of starting my own pedal line was born. It took me countless trials and errors to get to a point where I could be truly proud of my work, confident enough to sell them without hesitation.
Inside my pedals, I use the point-to-point assembly method - there's something satisfying about those clean, straight edges of wires, don't you think? I make sure to use only high-quality components in my builds. To add a personal touch, I incorporate color inside each pedal, matching the internal components with the exterior.
Externally, I cover all my creations with genuine vegetable-tanned leather, mostly sourced from Conceria Il Ponte in Italy. I also add a plexi cover, allowing you to peek inside the pedal from time to time without needing to disassemble it. Each pedal is not just a piece of gear, but a work of art, crafted with care and attention to detail.
