  After a lengthy and unexpected three-year hiatus, things are finally looking up! I am excited to announce that the latest version of the PF Steel Dream II, is now available for pre-order. The second batch of this new item has already sold out. Due to lingering supply chain challenges, order completion may take longer than usual. Units are being built according to the waiting list and prepaid order queue as components arrive. Thank you for your patience and understanding. Please use the drop-down option and choose your version accordingly.

• STEEL DREAMS DO COME TRUE

  The original PF Steel Dream was developed with Paul Franklin 12 years ago. Paul was introduced to the product in late 2011 and requested a designed unit for Pedal Steel players. I was curious about the effects they would require, and after several discussions, Paul narrowed it down to a medium-gain Overdrive, Delay, and Reverb. Thus, the PF Steel Dream was created. Since its release in 2012, Paul Franklin has been using it exclusively in the studio and live performances. In recent years, I have been working on upgrading the original Steel Dream by adding some features that would enhance its usability. Paul Franklin agreed to the changes and gave the green light to implement them. Say hello to the new "PF Steel Dream II."

• Modulate your Soundwaves

  The Lazar was constructed in memory of my late father, who was a Sea Captain. Constantly working with sea wave currents and tides, I decided to built an all modulated board, as modulation is based on different waveforms.

  The Lazar features 5 amazing modulation pedals (Chorus, Phaser, Tremolo), including dual Parallel Delays with a blend option! This unit is a great compliment to your favorite overdrive pedals, which can be implemented via the on-board patch bay. There is much more to the Lazar than meets the eye. You will be amazed how versatile this unit is. Click on the Effects/Routing and Specs sub-tabs to view detailed information about the intense features of each modulation unit.
