The Art of the Stompbox

 The Museum of Making Music is proud to announce its next special exhibition, The Art of the Stompbox, opening June 1, 2010 and continuing through September 2010.  The exhibition will trace the development and use of effects pedals in American rock ’n’ roll, jazz, blues, rock, and the experimental music scene. The Art of the Stompbox will showcase a variety of effects pedals ranging from industrially designed tone-control boxes of the 1940s to the most recent explosion of hand-made designs. The exhibition will also examine the growing movement of hand-made art stompboxes produced by individual builders’ “boutique companies,” often in collaboration with artists.
