Our Origin: The Spark of Spicy Pedals
My journey with Spicy Pedals began in Dallas, Texas, born from a deep passion for the perfect guitar sound. I, Rolf Ruiz, not only founded this company but also spearheaded the band S.A. de C.V. This is more than a business to me; it’s a reflection of my life in music.
When my beloved multi-effects processor, a Digitech RP21D, broke down, I found myself at a crossroads. Local guitar shops couldn’t help, leaving me stranded with my music. It was a challenging time, but it sparked a curiosity in me that changed everything.
I started experimenting with BiasFX 2 on an iPad, immersing myself in the world of iconic pedals like the Tube Screamer and the Big Muff. This exploration was a revelation, opening my eyes to the vast landscape of guitar sounds and possibilities. It was the beginning of a new chapter.
The Turning Point: From Player to Maker
As my fascination with pedal sounds grew, so did my desire to create them. I was captivated by the idea of crafting my own unique sounds. This led me to build my first pedal, an OD1, marking a significant milestone in my journey. It was more than a project; it was a stepping stone into a world of endless sonic exploration.
Spicy Pedals: A Dream Realized
The joy and fulfillment I found in building my own pedalboard were unparalleled. The thrill of shaping sound with my own hands was addictive. It was clear to me that I couldn't stop at just one pedal. I had to share my creations with the world, and thus, Spicy Pedals was born.
