2009 promises to be a very interesting year. We have a new President here in the USA, which everyone seems to be very excited about. On the other hand, the economy around the world seems to be in the crapper... big time!

We try not to be distracted by politics and world finance here at Wattson. We just try to stay focused on building guitar pedals, and playin' guitars!

In the past year we founded our business, and released our first product - The Wattson Classic SuperFuzz. Since then, we've sold more than 200 pedals, and the SuperFuzz is now carried by eight dealers on three continents, with more dealers being added soon. Check out the products page to see if theres a dealer near you.

2009 looks like it will be a big year for Wattson Classic Electronics. Our dealers are ordering pedals faster than we can build them, and we're building them just as fast as we possibly can. We have another pedal in the pipeline, which will be added to the Classic line very soon. Keep checking back!

We learned today of the passing of Bob Sweet, founder of Sweet Sound Electronics, on Friday, October 24th, 2008.

It was impossible to be involved in the guitar effects business, or be a guitar player with any exposure at all to boutique effects, and not know about Bob Sweet and Sweet Sound. Bob was an icon, and his pedals are legendary. On top of all that, Bob was a really great guy.

Bob was diagnosed with a malignant tumor in January. By August it was looking like he'd successfully beaten it. Shortly after that, his doctors discovered he had bone cancer, and it took his life in a few very short months.

We miss you, Bob. Farewell!
