Why Small Builders
Belong at the
Synth & Pedal Expos

~ "While the digital age provides global reach,
these in-person events deliver something that
online presence simply cannot replicate:
direct, tactile engagement and authentic connection." ~

For small, independent pedal and synth makers, the Synth & Pedal Expos are more than just trade shows — they’re a direct line to your most passionate customers, your future collaborators, and the kind of exposure that simply can’t be bought with online ads.

You’re Not Just Seen — You’re Heard.
Unlike big, crowded conventions where small brands get lost in the noise, our expos are designed for hands-on discovery. Musicians come specifically to try gear like yours, not just browse. Your products are plugged in, played, and talked about — in real time, by real users. It’s the kind of tactile experience that sells gear better than any webpage ever could.

You Meet Your People.
These events draw a curious, creative crowd hungry for new sounds. Whether it’s synth nerds, pedal collectors, DIY modders, or working musicians, the attendees want to discover something they can’t find in big-box stores. If you're a boutique builder, this is your target audience in one room.

Networking with Local Stores and Influencers.
Big cities mean proximity to music stores, influencers, and press. Exhibiting is an easy way to get your gear in front of the people who can help amplify your brand. Reach out ahead of time — many will swing by your table if invited.

Grow Your Brand Organically.
Each expo becomes a content hub: visitors post demos, tag your brand, and spread the word. Music media, YouTubers, and influencers often attend — and we help spotlight you throughout the weekend and beyond.

Flexible, Builder-Friendly Format.
We keep it simple. Affordable tables, low-stress setup, and optional help with pedalboard logistics or shipping mean you can focus on making a great impression — not on managing headaches.

Be Part of a Supportive Community
Many of today’s best-known boutique names — from Soma to Chase Bliss, from Erika Synths to Meris — started as little-known companies at our shows and keep participating in them. At the Synth & Pedal Expo, you’re part of a community that supports each other, shares knowledge, and grows together.

Make Real Connections.
In an era dominated by digital screens, the human element of an expo is more significant than ever.  Attendees become fans. Other builders become collaborators. The media become amplifiers. A single weekend can open doors to dealer relationships, artist endorsements, or your next product idea, just by showing up.

For a small builder, participating isn't just about selling a few units; it's about establishing your presence, cultivating a community around your creations, and ensuring your unique voice is heard in a crowded but passionate industry. It's about letting your craft speak for itself, directly into the ears of those who will truly appreciate it.
