Love the fire engine red. Looking pretty cool if I say so myself.

Welcome!

Welcome to the new Witztronics!

After years of designing products for other companies, we have decided to focus on building our own products.  Starting with creating a family of guitar pedals with options and features not typically found in the market place.

The first series of guitar effect pedals is called the “Deep Fried Squash Blossom”.  Yeah, I know it’s a goofy name, but sounds cool. An overdrive pedal with great new features and sounds.  Multiple soft and hard clipping options, built-in (but also independent) awesome drive circuit.

We have a bunch of new pedal ideas in the pipeline, but shoot us a note if you have something you’re dying to see in the market place.

We have also upgraded our website and moved to a modern theme that better supports various size displays,  including tablets and smartphones.  It also adds functionality not included in our last theme.

Account features have been enhanced to provide more capability for re-ordering, checking order status, shipping to multiple addresses and printing invoices.

You can access all these new features by creating or logging into your account.

While our website has gone through heavy testing, we know issues may still pop up.  If you see any problems, or have any questions, feel free to send us a note at: WTSupport@witztronics.com or use our contact page.

graphics test

First try at the new graphics for the DFSB pedal. Using the printed waterslide, I added 3 light coats of clear acrylic. After drying overnight, I soaked it in water and applied it to the top side. Time consuming, but it turned out pretty good. Good thing this is only for the protos. Four or five more coats of acrylic and it’ll be good to go.

New Graphics

waterslide
Used paint.net to create and print the new graphics on the waterslide paper. Took some test runs with plain paper to get the sizing right. Actually turned out better than I expected. Used 300 dpi and adjusted the canvas size to the actual printed area size, not the paper size, to get it right.
