Lateral Sound Lateral Sound design and build hand-made, boutique effects pedals

https://lateralsound.com/ Hi there, welcome to Lateral Sound. No worries. Cheers

J&A

We (Jon and Amy) make effects pedals by hand in Weston super Mare in the South West of England. Our pedals are all original designs and are built mainly for guitars but we’ve learned that they also sound great with a bass or a synth or whatever…

Our ethos is simple; creative musicians need inspiring equipment. We design our effects to be as flexible and exciting as possible – you want your guitar

to sound like a broken fruit machine or an angry robot? Fine, but you also want to be able to hear the notes in the riff that you’re playing? We think that there are probably enough ‘bluesy overdrive’ pedals out there, but maybe there’s nothing wrong with being able to get that tone from a fuzz pedal that can also sound like a motorbike. You should be able to sculpt your sound, not have it limited and defined by the kit that you use. We’re pretty obsessed with this stuff and our customers tend to be too.

Running drums and synth bass through the newly updated Spore.
Still wrapping my head around the Digitakt but I like how it pairs with pedals.

Starting the week with topping up the DeadBlow stock, then onto a new Spore demo

Black or Orange?
17 years ago I came up with the Spore circuit and I reckon it's my favourite design to date. This is version 2.0.
I've always offered Guitar or Bass/Producer versions, now you're able to switch between 3 modes:
Guitar
Bass/Producer
Raw af tone-stack bypass

I'm going to take this opportunity to record a new YouTube demo, the original is showing its age a little. Really looking forward to discovering yet more sounds in there...

First new video since the big move to Australia. Borrowing heavily from Boards of Canada - Francine the dirty bitcrusher giving the synth a bit more lo-fi, Spore fuzz gating and crunching up the drums

They're back!
Why not take advantage of my poor organisation skills too and get cheap shipping before I get my act together and update the website to reflect the move to Australia?

Merry Christmas! I've not fallen down a well but I have moved to Australia, hence I've been a bit quiet. More stock on the site in the next couple of weeks and new stuff in the New Year.
