Meet the Creative Minds
Who We Are
D&A Effects (a.k.a. DnA-FX) is the ongoing creative playground of Daniel Aldrich (better known as Drat) and the brilliant mind of backyard synth designer & audio enthusiast Tyler Aben. What started as a shared passion for crafting unique sounds in our own sound design lab has evolved into this collection of exciting projects. We’re tinkerers, musicians at heart, and dedicated explorers in the world of audio.
Our Design Team
Our Philosophy
More than just building tools, our mission is to merge the precision of engineering with the boundless possibilities of sonic experimentation. We strive to create pedals and mods that aren’t just functional pieces of gear, but inspiring instruments in their own right. Whether we’re chasing classic analog warmth or embracing digital chaos, we’re driven to build the tools that empower us – and hopefully others - to sculpt our own sonic DNA.
Exploring Our Soundscapes
- D.R.A.T.: Focused on Analog guitar and bass effects.
- GlitchCraft: Diving into Digital and DSP effects.
- SynthWorks: Creating Synth-centric tools and modules.
- Gene-Splice: Our Hybrid and Collaboration experiments.
With Gratitude to Our Supporters
The journey of D&A Effects wouldn’t be the same without the incredible support and inspiration from the musicians who have embraced our creations. While a complete list would be endless, we want to express our sincere appreciation to some of the notable artists who have offered their continued encouragement, valuable input, and unwavering dedication.
