Building Distortion Boxes for a better tomorrow.

09/14/2026

Everyone likes to see how synth eurorack pedals are made so I put together a little video of the process. Gretta was very helpful as usual. πŸ˜‚ Inspired UNIQUE DAILY who I cant tell if she’s actually making real food πŸ˜‚

Best with headphones πŸ‘‰ Model D through the Gatekeeper filter box. Arturia Pigments for the clean background treatments. Simple kick 909 drum. Moog One for the intro. πŸ‘‰ if you were compelled to watch past 3 seconds send it to someone πŸ˜‰

Kinda forgot I did this recording. Mellow with a Moog One and a 432k rev2 distortion filter pedal. Our sweet Lily made a brief appearance in the background. Phone audio does not do it justice.

Every time I run a GateKeeper through the testing process it becomes a sound design session. πŸ˜‚

Come with me while I search for the perfect modular synth bass line. Great example of a split second moment in time that hit the pocket just right. In my opinion of course.

Wash GateKeeper enclosures first. Not after electronics are installed! The lake is a place I grew by as a child. Jared is building his own guitar. Cats not ready to play with Eurorack modules yet.

Only a few more months to go before the best time of year. πŸŽƒ after that there is no shame staying inside while it rains playing with modular gear.
