OohLaLa
Quicksilver, Soda-Meiser and Torn’s Peaker
BY BRIAN BARR
OohLaLa Manufacturing is a Minneapolis-based company founded by Amada Marquez.
The company’s mission is to help small effects
designers bring their creations to a larger
audience. Currently, OohLaLa carries the creations of three designers, Lorren Stafford of
Black Box Effects, Devi Ever of Effector 13 and
Bruce Bennett, legendary designer and maker
of the Brown Sound pedal. Don’t let the name
OohLaLa or the fuzzy animal “pedal pouches”
fool you, these pedals mean business. Hand
built and hand painted using water-soluble
inks and lead-free solder, OohLaLa offers a
unique line of guitar effects that are also earth
friendly. The effects have metal chassis, true
bypass, and run on either a 9-volt battery or
standard Boss-style DC adapter.
