Industry Innovator Steve Ridinger Tells All in Peace, Love & Fuzz
Old-school Foxx pedals, revived Danelectro guitars, and the ubiquitous Snark tuner all share one common denominator: Steve Ridinger. The industrious, creative, and musical mind tells all in his gripping memoir, Peace, Love & Fuzz: The Amazing Story of Danelectro Guitars, Snark Tuners, and Foxx Pedals, now available at Sweetwater! The story begins decades ago, in the 1960s, to be exact. Steve was an entrepreneurial teenager who built effects pedals long before stompboxes were a mainstay onstage. Steve Ridinger’s teen business matured into Foxx pedals, and later, he helped revive the Danelectro guitars after almost three decades of silence from the brand. Furthermore, Peace, Love & Fuzz details the Snark tuner’s origins and the work that went into bringing this seemingly small device into being. Sweetwater’s Senior Vice President and Chief Supply Chain Officer Phil Rich puts it best, saying, “Steve is an American entrepreneur with a drive to be reckoned with and a life story full of passion and vigor. [Peace, Love, & Fuzz is ] “fun, tear-jerking, and a great ride.”
