Peter Clinch

I am a qualified Electronics Technician. My working experience has included:

• Recording studio installation and service.

• Service agent for two large Japanese music equipment manufacturers.

• PA installation and service.

• Video, TV and Hi Fi service.

• Industrial electronics.

• Sound engineering for rock music and live theatre.

I started playing around with guitars and electronics in my early teens. Because I didn’t spend enough time locked in my room with a guitar, I never became a good guitar player. I did become a good electronics tech, and have spent most of my working life in electronics, often in combination with music.

Experience servicing musical equipment and working with bands has taught me a lot about what can go wrong. In my designs, I have tried very hard to design around the common failures that can happen.

In December 2007, I left my full time job to concentrate on designing and building effects. I occasionally contract my expertise to a company that installs and services PA systems.
