Who is HomeBrew Electronics, Inc. ??

HomeBrew consists of Joel and Andrea Weaver, Charlie Turner, Brent Gutierrez, our lawyer Jeremy Stern  and a few hound dogs: Hercules, Daisy,  Boomhauer and Fred. Sorry, no "Vintage Man", "Analog Dude", or "Pedal Guru" just an Electronics Tech and a few musicians! We are currently accepting donations so Boomhauer can have the plastic surgery he so desperately needs!

Why are HBE pedals different?

We feel we stand apart from other companies for several reasons.

1. We build solid, innovative products without the high price tag of other "boutique" companies. Speaking of "boutique", we really would rather be referred to as "handmade" or "hand-built". A boutique is a place that women go to buy underwear!

2. Everything is build by us, by hand, one at a time. We do it all! Drilling, powder coating, soldering and all assembly and testing.

3. We care about our dealers and our customers. We listen to what you have to say. We are always open to suggestions and criticisms. Just because we think something is bitchin' doesn't mean you will, so let us know!

4. We offer excellent customer support via email or phone. We try and answer any questions and respond to our customers needs as quickly as possible.

5. We offer many custom colors, knobs, designs and mods giving our customers the ability to own a "one of a kind" custom guitar effects pedal.

6. We do not sell direct. We only sell through dealers or distributors. Believe it or not, this is to the customers advantage. Dealers offer the customer additional support after the sale and also creates competitive pricing.

7. We are all musicians. Even our lawyer! We all play and are active in the music industry in one way or another.

Are HBE pedals really handmade or are they massed produced in China like so many others?

All of our pedals are made by hand, one at a time right here in the USA. Please click on the link for the video of the build process.

The following UL or CE listed power supplies will work with all of our pedal with the exception of the Germania and Germania 44:

Ibanez AC-109

There are several others that will work. They just need to be UL or CE listed, 9 volts dc, negative center, filtered and regulated supplies rated at 100ma or greater.

The Germania and Germania 44 require a 9 volt dc, POSITIVE center, filtered and regulated supply rated at 100ma or greater. Because of this the Germania and Germania 44 will not work with an AC adapter when ran with other negative center pedals. A battery must be used. However, there is a supply available that will run the Germania and Germania 44 with all other negative center pedals. The supply is the

VOODOO LAB PEDAL POWER 2
