From his origins in an 8’x10’ unheated basement shop, all the way to designing circuits for Dunlop and Electro Harmonix, Johnny Wator has driven Daredevil as a true labor of love and obsession. After over a decade of touring in a band, the desire to create his own tones led to the development of the brand and the first line of pedals available in 2012.
Initially building old school point to point and strip board circuits, the Daredevil roots lie in an affection for vintage circuits from the 60’s & 70’s, big ol’ hand wired tone machines. Almost all of Daredevil pedals are original design circuits that capture something unique, and fill a sonic void in Johnny’s personal quest for musical expression. The continual cycle of seeking out new ideas and approaches to classic tones for the modern age.
We value Rock n' Roll above most everything else, so Johnny's pedals were a perfect fit for AAYSR. Checl them out here.
