Guitar Salad (aka Will Donnelly) began building effects pedals in the summer of 2022, in South Philadelphia. Being a touring guitar player and multi-instrumentalist, Will wanted to create his own unique sounds, on and off stage. Once he showed his peers the first two finished products, the requests from fellow musicians poured in.

“I decided to go full nerd and figure out what makes those cool little effect boxes work. The results so far have been an amazing challenge, with an equally amazing reward.”

Combining Will’s passion for art and guitars, he decided to take on the design work himself; curating the names, designing in photoshop, and hand painting the boxes. Each pedal that Guitar Salad creates is designed, assembled and tested with the utmost attention and care. 100% homespun circuits, every step of the process.
