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, Alpha pots, Dailywell switches, and solid cast aluminum enclosures.

Our standard pedals are built on printed circuit boards, also hand assembled, using through-hole modern components and a variety of vintage and modern transistors. After over a decade of experience building circuits using  transistors such as the venerable NKT275, OC75, OC44, etc. we also started offering circuits built entirely with "new old stock" components, hand wired in "point-to-point" style on tag board / turret board. These unique pedals are constructed and tuned individually, offering a one-of-a-kind tonal experience. 

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.
