Jordan Pedals

Jordan Pedals is owned by Chris Mahoney, a longtime friend of Robert Keeley and someone who still works with Keeley Electronics today.

I originally met Chris at Keeley. In many ways, he was one of the first people who helped introduce me to the fundamentals of guitar pedals. He taught me the basics of pedal repair, including replacing jacks, stomp switches, LEDs, and other common hardware. He also gave me an old Klon-style circuit board to populate, which became one of my earliest hands on experiences building a pedal from the board up.

Years later, Chris became my first independent contract client. Through Jordan Electronics, he trusted me to redesign and update his pedal and plug in effect platforms for a more production friendly build process.

Projects included Buzz Tone, Acid Tone, Dallas, and updated Historic Boss Tone style plug-in effects.

Jordan Electronics represents an important part of my story because it connects where I first started learning pedal fundamentals to the first independent contract work that helped shape the path toward AVGMNTD Systems.

Buzz Tone: "Unleash the potential of your guitar's sound with the Jordan Buzz Tone, Jordan's version of the famous Jordan Boss Tone of the 1960's."

The work I did included redrawing existing schematics, updating the power supply sections for lower noise, laying out new PCBs, and moving the hardware onto the board. Instead of relying on wired jacks, wired stomp switches, and more manual assembly, the redesigned boards were built so the hardware could drop cleanly into the enclosure with PCB mounted jacks, pots, and switching hardware.
