Tonesmith Testimonials

  • I’m really stoked on my updated board, all masterminded by @tonesmithaudio. Josh is such an incredibly kind, professional, and knowledgeable dude in the Seattle area. He walked me thru the whole thing - was super responsive to messages, heard me out on all my grievances with my old setup, showed me tons of options, made a plan, and ultimately built/wired/setup a board that is exactly what I need these days. Josh is just excellent in skill and character. I will definitely be calling him again. If you’re looking for a new build or a fresh setup, I would highly recommend him!

  • Tonesmith Audio is my #1 trusted expert for all pedalboard, cabling, and general guitar FX consulting support! Starting from a conceptual design a few years ago, I am now enjoying a newly assembled stereo, midi-enabled pedalboard setup which has completely revolutionized my playing, without requiring any maintenance thanks to the custom hand soldered cables Josh created for my board. As a gigging musician, session artist, producer, and general guitar pedal enthusiast, I am still growing into this incredible configuration, which showcases clean aesthetics and some truly advanced midi processing / expression capabilities. I highly recommend setting up an initial consultation to draw from Josh's deep knowledge of pedals, custom cabling, and a wide range of tone optimization strategies!

  • I recently moved to WA and came across Josh aka Tonesmith Audio on a Reddit post that a handful of people were tagging him in when I asked for a local pedalboard guru. Josh’s work is flawless. He took my mess of a board that you might’ve compared to a beat up old van and turned it into a Batmobile. Dude might even be Batman behind his very humble and personable attitude. Solid work and communication throughout the process, and a quick turnaround! I also bought a pedal from him and had him add it to my chain. Definitely ask him if he has any pedals for sale, or what he’d recommend. Mahalo, Josh!
