Celestial Effects

Poking around the internet trying to find Chuck D. Bones' article on the RAT circuit, and looking up "Celestial Engineering" I found this super interesting little pedal company that was a spinoff of an electronics manufacturer making temperature sensing and regulation equipment. Totally and tragically unknown to me.


Maybe I'm a sucker for passion projects and unorthodox turns into creativity by folks. Putting a face on electronics manufacturing in the USA is also super interesting to me.

I wonder how things went or didn't go, what their story was/is, and how their circuits sounded? The pedals could have been interesting! Looks like they had quite a work-up and also... Mark Farner!!! Grand Funk Railroad had some pretty good stuff back in the day.
 
Checking out some videos, and yeah, their stuff was not bad!

Their manufacturing site is listed as permanently closed, though.... :(
 
Cool! Never heard of them either, but that’s about an hour south of me.

Looks like they still offer engineering services for pedal builders.
