Hi, I’m Jack, creating custom guitar pedals and documenting my Electrical Engineering journey.

Please Note: This website is still being updated, and may not have fully up to date information.

About me…

I am an Electrical Engineering student at the University of Pittsburgh. After receiving my Associates degree at the Community College of Allegheny County, I began to tinker with my guitar equipment. In my second semester at Pitt, I decided to create a website to document my journey in learning what is needed for my passion.

Please do not hesitate to reach out to me in regards to a pedal, project, employment, or even just to talk. Be aware that I am a full-time student, so requests or inquiries may be delayed to work around my schedule.

  • To reach me, please send me an email at johnjackhatten@gmail.com, or find me on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-hatten/

  • I believe that anyone can do what I am doing, with a varying range of effort needed. I will not be your teacher, but I am (and will continue to) post schematics and code for all of my projects on this site for anyone to learn from. If you do recreate a project of mine, or remix it for your own purposes, please share it with me!

    While I do post all these schematics and code, I do not allow my designs to be recreated and sold. You may sell designs based off of my own, but please give credit where it is due.
