Vexed Brain is a boutique pedal builder from Omaha, Nebraska.
All pedals are designed and handmade by one person.
These pedals cater towards aggressive sounds and attitudes, low tunings and high expectations.
Each pedal is custom made to order and may require a two week build time, but often is crafted sooner.
(11.3.26 update - 3 day build time)
Due to the nature of each pedal being made to order, there is a no return or substitution policy
All pedals I currently produce work with a standard Boss / 1 Spot style 2.1mm barrel, 9V negative center DC power adapter. For best results, it is highly recommended that a power supply with individual isolated grounds is implemented. Use of typical wall wart/daisy chain power are susceptible to unwanted noise. While some choose to use 18V for some applications, any sort of power failure will void warranty.
ACID ETCH / PATINA
Due to the nature of acid etching, each pedal is unique. If you are desiring a certain finish or patina for your order, please reach out.
I am happy to etch the enclosure a little longer for a deeper etch, however this sometimes compromises detail in the graphic.
Pedals will come with either regular or inverse etched copper patina at my discretion unless you specify what you’d like via the CONTACT page.
WARRANTY INFORMATION
All pedals are warrantied for life to the original purchaser. Any sort of manufacturer problem will be repaired or replaced at the builder’s discretion. Within 30 days of delivery, return shipping will be covered by builder, after is the responsibility of the purchaser. Any pedal purchased second hand that requires repairs will require a $25 bench fee, cost of replacement parts, and shipping paid by new owner.
CUSTOM WORK
I will sometimes take on custom work. Custom work is defined as artwork to be acid etched on a pedal of your preference. Please reach out via CONTACT form above.
