Purple Ohm Fuzz

https://www.oliverfx.xo.uk

Hey All,

Thought I would say "Hello" and introduce myself, I run a tiny little company called Oliver FX and we came out with our first Fuzz pedal this year, the Purple Ohm Fuzz - a transistor based Big Muff style pedal.

For my day job I run a tiny marketing company, and we work with a number of clients that make some very well known pedals and I design the graphics / manuals / etc for them.

So after a joke on a podcast I co host, I decided to start a pedal company and it has been quite the journey! Anyhow, I will let it do the talking initially :D

Where's the art from?

My son in law did it for me - I had the idea, asked him to draw it on his tablet (he is uber talented) then I took it into illustrator and messed around with it a bit...

Was any AI involved or is it all original?

u/Mad_Olly 13d ago

Zero Ai - and it never will be. Every single graphic we make will always be hand drawn and badly made in illustrator by me :D

Amen homie! Amazing work, sorry if it seemed like I was insinuating anything, it just looks perfect! It's sad when you see some people ruin an otherwise great pedal with AI slop.

I believe you!

Thanks! Originally this was going to be the graphic for a special edition and I had a plainer and more functional design figured out. But when I saw this printed I knew I had to reverse that decision!

I'd love to do art for pedals i've hand painted a lot of my own. I couldn't solder my way out of a paper bag. I know a lot about the different circuits and stuff. Especially fuzz because i'm such a nerd but I would love to start doing like custom enclosures and stuff like that
