Four button footswitch matching the profile and switch spacing as the Kemper Remote. Each is custom made from wood and feature long lasting high quality switches and jacks. One year warranty on switches and jacks. Can be used with the Remote or without. Can control four different parameters from the Kemper.
Wood Types
Pedals made from the same type of wood can still look very different due to differences in wood figure and color. Each is a unique piece of art.
Non Figured is typically Poplar.
Figured can be Flame or Birdseye Maple, Canary, Walnut or Mahogany.
Yes, Walnut and Mahogany aren't really considered 'figured' but they are higher quality woods and do cost more.
Highly Figured have a better and more striking wood pattern than Figured. Think AA flame top vs AAAA or a 'Ten' top.
Custom Choice is when the client pics from wood in stock.
As wood supplies are constantly evolving, we do reserve the right to look for different woods to create our pedals.
When ordering, let us know what wood you want for the sides and the top. Please allow 2 weeks from time of order to receive your pedal. This turnaround time is predicated upon having your wood in stock - having to order out of stock wood will add a week or more to completion time.
From time to time there will be completed pedals available on the website - pics will be of the exact pedal available. No carving is possible on a completed pedal.

Carving
This is done to a single depth, typically 1/8" or shallower. There are size constraints depending on which part of the pedal you want carved - bottom is the largest, followed by top, then back, and one side, although side does offer a longer space for art.
Graphics have to be in EPS format (no jpgs!) and we can help you get your art useable for a nominal fee that is predicated on time spent. Graphics are carved into the wood with a CNC, so simpler graphics are better. When in doubt, send an email before ordering.
No carving is possible on a pedal that's already assembled.

Finishes
Finishes are typically hand rubbed oil, similar to a fingerboard oil. Boiled linseed oil can be added for an additional fee, or wood can be left bare so you can stain or finish it to your heart's desire. At this time we do not offer guitar like finishes.
The Nature of Wood
Wood is a natural, organic material. It's not going to wear as well as say metal or some plastics. These pedals are 100% real wood, no laminates or plywoods. As such you do need to treat these items with respect, abuse will take it's toll on any product like this.
Warranty
Mechanical parts like the switches and jacks are covered for one year. You pay to ship, I pay to send it back. Pedals are made to be easily serviced in the field if necessary. Enclosure has a one year warranty against manufacturer's defects - this does not include abuse. Pedals are made to be stepped on but there's a difference between actuating a footswitch and putting all your weight on one spot. Pedals are reinforced internally, and are assembled with Titebond glue.
