Would you like to learn how to use effects pedals?

Do you feel overwhelmed when you look at a mixing board (me too!),
but want to get more comfortable?

Are you curious about singing or playing your instrument through pedals and other effects?

If so, join us at The Bimbo Factory for
Pedal Petting Zoo!

These sessions are a relaxed space to explore effects pedals, synthesizers, and other sound-shaping tools together. We’ll experiment with different setups, talk through how signals flow, and try things out in real time.

You’ll leave with:

• a clearer understanding of how effects pedals and synths work

• ideas for experimenting with your own sound

• more confidence asking questions and exploring music technology

• supporting others

No prior experience is required!
There will be pedals and synths available to play with, but feel free to bring some of your own.
