DrNo Effects Creates Vintage Pedals with a Vibrant Retro Look

— November 20, 2011 — Art & Design
The cult brand DrNo Effects manufactures a wide variety of vintage guitar effect pedals. To help the company's products look as retro as they sound, DrNo Effects turned to the Dutch design firm BoomArtwork to create a series of eye-catching designs.

Using typography reminiscent of vintage concert posters and album art, BoomArtwork rendered a series of high-energy vibrant pieces that give the DrNo Effects pedals a little extra oomph and a whole lot of fashionable street cred. These throwback designs further secure DrNo Effects' golden rock image, and in the music industry appearance and image is everything. Complete your best Mick Jagger impression with these vivacious pedals and you'll be music to the ears of every music exec in the room.

Feel a rush of inspiration from your musical equipment, hit your DrNo Effects Pedal and rock out like its 1969.
