We're psyched that this weekend we'll be exhibiting at the 4th London Synth & Pedal Expo.
If you're around, come say hi and have a play with some pedals. There'll be something big and blue on the board - it might make you feel lost at sea WINK WINK.

Thank you everyone, what a year, you're all a pretty great bunch, thanks for sticking round. But me? Turn me over, coz I've never been more done.
Jokes aside, the webshop will stay open, all pre-orders, normal orders, special orders, late night kebab orders have been shipped, until the new year!
I also made some bass demos....
King Alex II is now out in the world, go check it out over on the YouTube or directly on the Empty Head website.
Thank you, that is all x

Here's another clip from Mannheim Guitar Summit this time playing through some parts on The Lover. ✌️
Still floored by how beautiful and simple these are
I'm going to change the front panels a little to have an enlarged version of the name of the pedal. I've been getting really conflicted as no one was able to read the names of the pedals at the exhibitions. Heres an updated King Alex II and a taste of things to come...
@dotssounds.bsky.social finding his way round King Alex II at Guitar Summit a couple weeks ago. Pre-order for King Alex II opening on Monday @ 14:00 CET

Here is King Alex II. It'll be going on pre-order Monday next week. It features a silicon transistor distortion with an optional ridiculously overpowered op amp pre-amp which drives the distortion to melt its own face off. What more can I say? It tears itself apart. 35 characters left...? It rips! X
I've had a chance to edit some of the footage from Guitar Summit now. We met some awesome people there, too many to mention honestly. But here is the incredible Andy Pitcher leaning into the more intensely scuzzy starved side of King Alex II.
