Profile: DVK Technologies is a pedal producing project featuring electronics pedal freak Craig Paine and longtime professional guitarist Brett Kingman.

Both blokes play the guitar, Brett professionally. Through the years they have used a veritable ocean liner full of effects and have come to the conclusion that certain effects could be paired for better sonic combinations and to preserve that precious pedal board real estate. As Brett says, “We’re not trying to reinvent the wheel, just streamline it a little.”

Enter the new DVK Technologies range: a suite of models offering 2-in-1 solutions in reasonably sized cases and featuring useful peripherals such as expression control and circuit order switching. All of our circuits have been (re)designed from the ground up by the ‘Doc’ (Craig Paine) who has worked for nearly a year with the sonic requests of the slave driving and annoying Mr Kingman. It should be said that although these are our own circuits, we have drawn our concepts from the best and we are only too willing to acknowledge this. Oh yeah, our own Tony Tran provides the fab eye candy pedal art.

We decided that we’ll keep the pedals green as well. That means no 9V batteries. For two reasons: firstly because we’ve jammed so much circuitry into these pedals that we couldn’t possibly fit a battery in there and secondly because they’re rotten little things filling up our landmines and if we can do without them we will. So we have.

Now please try one, enjoy it and make some music with it. That’s all we can ask. Show less
