About Death By Audio
Oliver Ackermann, singer and guitarist for A Place To Bury Strangers, started Death By Audio in 2002. The band spent its first nine years warehouse-jumping from Virginia to Brooklyn before settling in the infamous Williamsburg Death By their effects pedal factory, venue, recording studio, and live-work space. Death By Audio moved the effects pedal workshop to Queens after the venue closed in 2014, where Oliver and his team continue to handcraft pedals. They precisely engineer each effect pedal with the best components available to expand your musical horizons with new and original sounds, and they build each pedal with sturdy construction to withstand even your loudest and most energetic live performances. In order to create dozens upon dozens of loud, abrasive, and mind-boggling effect pedals that inspire musicians from DIY noise freaks to touring pros at the practice spot, in the recording studio, and onstage, bizarre technologies like medical-grade IC chips, obsolete transistors, and military surplus electronics are pushed beyond their limits.
