Boredbrain Music

1 pedals on Tonebox

Boredbrain Music is a small company based in Richmond, Virginia, USA, that describes itself as making "hand-assembled boutique products"1. Unlike most boutique builders, its catalog is not built around overdrives, fuzzes or delays. Its products are the connective tissue of a rig: patch bays, interfaces, level and routing boxes that sit between your pedals, synths and mixer and make the whole setup easier to wire and rewire.

The range

For a player, that means Boredbrain gear shows up where the pedalboard gets complicated: sending a guitar through a modular synth, running stereo effects at matched levels, or rearranging a board without replugging every cable234.

What Boredbrain Music is known for

Boredbrain's reputation rests on its routing and interface products. RockBoard's PedalPedia lists the Xcelon SL, Patchulator v2, Patchulator Pro and Terminal V2 among its pedals6, and describes the Patchulator Pro as "an evolution of Boredbrain's iconic desktop and pedalboard patchbay, purpose-built for experimental signal routing of guitar pedals, effects, synths and more"4. The Terminal V2 is a patch bay routing device for pedalboards, adding "new routing possibilities to a more permanent setup"6.

The UniFX is a guitar pedal FX interface that "routes eurorack thru pedals or instrument thru eurorack"7, and the Xchangr provides "ultra-low noise buffered level scaling designed for stereo effects pedals"3. These are utility boxes in the same family as switching pedals: they do not color your sound so much as move it around.

Warranty and repairs

Boredbrain products are guaranteed to be free of functional defects for 180 days from the original purchase date1. That is shorter than some boutique makers: Diamond Pedals, for example, offers a three-year warranty against defective parts and faulty workmanship11, and Cornerstone pedals sold in the EU carry a 2-year lifetime warranty12. Boredbrain's coverage also has conditions:

  • Proof of purchase is required for any warranty claim1.
  • Products with obvious signs of abuse, or that have been modified by the end user, may not be covered, at Boredbrain's discretion1.
  • Return shipping costs are covered by Boredbrain Music within the first 30 days of purchase only1.

Out of warranty, repairs and service requests may be subject to labor charges of up to $40 per hour, plus any required replacement parts1. Boredbrain says it will provide an estimate whenever possible before performing any billable service1.

Contacting support

To start a claim or a repair, Boredbrain asks that you contact them and include your name, the original purchase date, and a description of the problem you are experiencing1. The company says it returns most inquiries within 48 hours1.

Keep your receipt. Without proof of purchase, Boredbrain will not process a warranty claim, and after the first 30 days you pay the shipping both ways1.
