28 Jan Fredric Effects
High quality effects hand-made in London
Fredric Effects, run by Tim Webster, are “passionate about building pedals that look and sound great, with hard-wearing professional finishes and the best components. They’re high quality boutique effects without excessive boutique price-tags.”
Small and Fuss Free
They are known for being small and as fuss-free as possible – why have six knobs when two, with maybe a switch, completes the package?
Designed for years of use, with a focus on build quality and ensuring the finishes last.
- Custom enclosures fabricated for Fredric Effects in North London
- Professional powder coating and screen print by local companies
- PCB construction (not perf or vero)
- Handmade either one at a time or in small batches
- Hard-wearing Cliff jacks
- Reliable Alpha footswitches and pots
Range
Their large range of pedals stands at 31 across fuzz, distortion, overdrive, compression and tremolo plus others. Something for everyone.
