“Jordan Withers started guitar-effects pedal company Poison Noises out of his apartment in mid-2020 after the pandemic cost him his day job at his local Guitar Center. In less than a year, designing, wiring and assembling pedals became a full-time job.

Withers’ products can be purchased locally at several outlets and he’s in the process of branching out into regional and national markets. He can also boast a high-profile clientele, with signature pedals having been used and shouted out by members of The Cure, Mars Volta, Cage the Elephant and My Chemical Romance.:
