JDM Pedals are boutique guitar effect pedals, handmade at our workshop in Berlin, Germany or Alfred, Maine, USA. Some are based on classic circuits with modifications and design additions, others are our own creation. Designed for working musicians, we use the most durable parts possible - Lumberg Jacks, heavy-duty footswitches, and solid cast aluminum enclosures.

Our standard pedals are built on printed circuit boards, also hand assembled, using through-hole modern components and in some cases vintage transistors (when it's a germanium-driven circuit). After building many circuits using selected vintage transistors, such as the venerable NKT275, OC75, OC44, etc. we have started offering circuits built using selected vintage components that are hand wired (point-to-point style) on tag board / turret board. These are tuned and biased individually and offer a unique tonal experience in each pedal. See the descriptions for more info. 

The models we offer are quite full  featured, but if you’d like a custom pedal, we can do that, too. In fact, many of our design changes come from customer requests. Just  drop us a line - we can accommodate custom circuit changes, requests for particular transistor types, custom enclosure finishes, or just simple requests like particular control knobs and LED colors.
