Hey, I'm Chris.

Hey, I'm Chris.

I officially founded JPTR FX ten years ago, but I've been soldering audio gear for as long as I can remember.

Back then, importing niche boutique gear to Germany was a not possible, and what was available locally was just too lets say not really inspiring or just boring. I wanted more gain, more unconventional features, and total control over the sound so I picked up a soldering iron at a young age and started building what was missing.

01

Boutique, by definition

JPTR isn't mass production, and it never will be. Being a one-man operation means every unit gets real, undivided attention. Builds are made to order in small batches using industry standard, heavy-duty parts, built to withstand real use on the road.
You're getting something crafted specifically for you by someone who genuinely loves the work. Every pedal only leaves my shop when I’m 100% happy with how it sounds.

Quality takes time. Keeping prices fair and doing everything solo means there’s often a waitlist, but what you’re waiting for is a dedicated instrument with real character. Lead times can vary, but you can always check the current estimated build time so drop me a line.
And when you do reach out? No customer service reps or generic AI chatbots. If you ever need help, troubleshooting, or setup advice, you'll hear directly from me.

The Sound

I focus on aggressive but reliable designs tuned for what matters to me the most: huge gain, open response, strong dynamics, and the lowest noise floor I can get. My Products have a lot of features but I try to keep the interface small with a great haptic that can understand very easily.
I am very proud to say that I dont copy designs and slap a trending design on it like we often see in the industry.

JPTR FX is built for heavy low-end, down-tunings, guitars, basses, and synths alike, used on stages and in studios by players who prefer pure, uncompromised signal power like a 250W Guitar/Bass Amplifier.

Prices

A Handbill Pedal for 139 or 199 euro is insanely good it was 10 years ago and it is even more now.

The Jive or Warlow for example pays my bills for almost a decade people love it it got a cult classic status and I am VERY proud of it
Everyone should afford one thats the whole point why I started this in the first place
I want that everyone can afford a good sounding pedal without the extra costs

I dont see my customers as money bags
I dont need to pay a huge shop or team or have dealers that need to make profit as well
I just want to make people happy with the art I make and thats why I decided to have low prices

🇺🇸 For US customers

Zero customs hassle

All US shipments go out DDP (Delivery Duty Paid). The price you see at checkout is the exact price you pay.
No hidden fees, no surprise import tax at your door, and zero package delays sitting in a customs warehouse. I handle the paperwork and fees on my end so your gear arrives smooth and headache-free.

05

Giving back & Sustainability

Over the years, a portion of every sale has gone directly into supporting animal shelters and planting trees because giving back actually matters.
I keep all packaging material recyclable, and even though gear is still consumer electronics, I do my best to keep the environmental footprint low by shipping everything carbon-neutral via DHL GoGreen.

06

Shipping & Tracking

Every order ships via DHL. Whether you buy here or on Reverb, you'll automatically get tracking information as soon as your pedal leaves the shop.

I truly love doing this for a living, and that passion goes into every single unit that lands on your board.
