R2R Electric

R2R Electric was founded by Chris Vincent in 2019, out of a love for vintage guitars, amplifiers, and effects.  Salvaging vintage vacuum tubes found in audio gear from the 1950's & 1960's, Chris amassed a large personal collection of resistors, capacitors, and other electronic components. In a chance meeting while restoring an Echoplex EP-1, Chris met Tucker Krishock who had his own pedal company called Lamp Electric.  A prototype Rangemaster was built with a combination of Chris' components and Tucker's pedal-building knowledge.  The first time the Treble Booster was clicked on, the two were hooked!  Tucker convinced Chris to start building more of the Treble Boosters, and Reel to Reel Effects was born.  

Unfortunately, that company was never able to get off the ground, and, tragically, Tucker has since passed away. But, Chris continued on with a new name. In honor of his friend, Chris combined the shorthand for reel to reel, "R2R," and "Electric," from the name Lamp Electric, to create his own brand: R2R Electric.  

The goal was originally to take apart individual donor machines for parts and create an effects pedal from solely those components. As time went on, and after many, many tests, the new direction of R2R Electric took shape: using salvaged or NOS (new old stock) components from the 50's & 60's to create hand-wired point-to-point effects with circuits designed in that same era.
