DVK Technologies is an Australian guitar effects pedal company headed up by electronics maestro Craig Paine and SM Pro Audio’s Brett Kingman.

Both blokes play the guitar, Brett professionally. Through the years they have used a veritable ocean liner full of effects and have come to the conclusion that certain effects could be paired for better sonic combinations and to preserve that precious pedal board real estate. We’re not trying to reinvent the wheel, just streamline it a little.

Enter the new DVK Technologies range: a suite of models offering 2-in-1 solutions in reasonably sized cases and featuring useful peripherals such as
expression control and circuit order switching. All of our circuits have been (re)designed from the ground up by our illustrious ‘Doc’ (Craig Paine) who has worked for nearly a year with the sonic requests of the slave driving and   annoying Mr Kingman. It should be said that although these are our own circuits, we have drawn our concepts from the best and we are only too willing to acknowledge this. Oh yeah, our own Tony Tran provides the eye candy and we’ll be featuring different themed cases as time goes by.

They decided that they would keep the pedals ‘green’ as well. That means no 9V batteries. For two reasons: firstly because they had jammed so much circuitry into these pedals that they couldn’t possibly fit a battery in there and secondly because batteries are rotten little things filling up our landfills and if we can do without them we will. So they have.
