Once upon a time in a galaxy far, far away...

How it all began with boutique effects pedals

Sometimes it all starts quite inconspicuously. For us, it was a trip together to one of our jobs as technicians for large-scale sound systems in 2019. Somewhere between long car rides, countless conversations about music and sound, and those breaks where we simply let our minds wander, the idea came to us: Why not start our own brand?

Are we making effects pedals now?

Gin and tonic and a thrush

How did we come up with the name "Fieldfare Audio"? It was rather spontaneous. After a long day at an event, we were sitting together in the evening, gin and tonic in hand, thinking about what we could call the whole thing. Alex had a weakness for birds and suggested "Fieldfare," the fieldfare. Why exactly? Honestly, it just felt right. And today, we couldn't imagine a better name.

The bird on our pedals always reminds us how it all began: with a casual conversation, a pinch of chance, and a shared enthusiasm for what we do.

Time for something new

corona

Then 2020 came, and suddenly the event industry came to a standstill. We were out of work, too, and what initially seemed like a crisis turned into an opportunity for us. We used the time to launch what we'd wanted to do for a long time: Fieldfare Audio .

In Alex's workshop, we milled, soldered, tested, rejected, and rebuilt. Michi took care of everything, from legal matters to logistics. And honestly, it was the best thing that could have happened to us during these strange times.

honesty

philosophy

What's important to us? Quite simply: honest products for musicians . Through our years of experience in the field of large-scale sound reinforcement technology, we understand the challenges musicians and technicians face every day. Our guitar effect pedals are therefore not mere copies, but handcrafted boutique quality. We build devices that are reliable and can withstand real stage and studio use – whether it's a modern distortion effect , a versatile overdrive, or a amp. or a unique Tube Screamer .
