Hello world. My name is Alex, In 2017 I built my first guitar pedal, it was a big muff clone and it did not work. Soon after, I acquired a desktop cnc machine and made my first working pedal for my brother, a sunn model-t preamp designed by coda effects. I manufactured everything using the cnc machine and became hooked with the process of building pedals.

Cottagefx is based in seattle, wa where I build all pedals by hand. I still use the CNC for pcb - printed circuit board - manufacturing on most builds. Pedal enclosures are powder coated and drilled by the incomparable obscura mfg company.
