Sound Engineering

I'm an avid maker, creating custom guitar pedals for over 10 years and previously working as a sound engineer. It would be fair to say I found my niche working with experimental, anarchic & often bloody loud rock bands. I've still got chops when it comes to setting up a coincident stereo pair and editing in Pro Tools. Any bands or podcasters who need some specialist audio knowledge for their project are welcome to get in touch.
