{"id":394,"count":11,"description":"<h2>The Sound Team of Andrea Pratesi, Stefano Carlesi, and Federica Tantulli<\/h2>\r\n<h2><img class=\"alignleft wp-image-2773 size-woocommerce_thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/www.handmadesound.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/dophix-team-540x360.jpeg\" alt=\"Dophix - Federica, Stefano, Andrea\" width=\"540\" height=\"360\" \/><\/h2>\r\nThe story of <strong>Dophix<\/strong> began in 2015 in Florence from the meeting of <strong>Andrea Pratesi<\/strong>, <strong>Stefano Carlesi<\/strong>, and <strong>Federica Tantulli<\/strong>. United by a common passion for music and high-quality craftsmanship, they created a brand that has conquered international markets, especially the United States, thanks to a unique combination of engineering, design, and sound research.\r\n\r\nDophix produces fully handmade guitar and bass effects, where each pedal is a work of art combining technical precision and musical soul. Each model bears a name linked to the Florentine Renaissance \u2013 David, Michelangelo, Neptune, Perseus, Leonardo \u2013 and represents a true sonic and visual identity, a bridge between Tuscan history and contemporary music.\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n\r\n<h2>The Collection<\/h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignright wp-image-2775 size-woocommerce_thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/www.handmadesound.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/dophix-540x540.png\" alt=\"Dophix 1\" width=\"540\" height=\"540\" \/>\r\nThe Dophix collection is a sonic and visual narrative that spans through time. Each pedal is part of a \u201ctrilogy,\u201d with its own personality and story to tell.\r\n\r\nThe <strong>David<\/strong> embodies strength and courage, offering distortions ranging from delicate crunch to the most intense high-gain.\r\nThe <strong>Michelangelo<\/strong> is a tribute to ingenuity and creativity, capable of combining valve dynamics with sound precision in a compact format.\r\nThe <strong>Neptune<\/strong> is a powerful and imposing fuzz, a sonic storm evoking the depths of the sea.\r\nThe <strong>Perseus<\/strong> is a sharp and elegant boost, essential but extremely incisive, like the sword stroke it represents.\r\nThe <strong>Leonardo<\/strong> is the compressor that seeks the perfect balance between dynamics and sustain, just like the Vitruvian Man who inspires its harmony.\r\n\r\nEach effect is designed and hand-assembled, individually tested, and equipped with a unique serial code certifying its authenticity and tracing every phase of creation.\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n\r\n<h2>Construction Philosophy, Techniques, and Materials<\/h2>\r\n<h2><img class=\"alignleft wp-image-2777 size-woocommerce_thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/www.handmadesound.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/lavorazioni-dophix-540x240.jpg\" alt=\"Dophix construction philosophy\" width=\"540\" height=\"240\" \/><\/h2>\r\nAt the core of every Dophix pedal is a <strong>maniacal search for sound<\/strong>. The goal is to recreate those warm and enveloping '70s tones, enriched by modern and reliable construction.\r\n\r\nAll pedals are <strong>handwired point-to-point<\/strong>, with carefully selected and manually tested components. Every choice \u2013 from JFET transistors to carbon resistors \u2013 is designed to guarantee consistency, quality, and absolute reliability over time.\r\n\r\nThe design is not only aesthetic but an integral part of the project: each pedal combines mechanical robustness with visual care inspired by Florentine Renaissance artworks. Every effect is not just a technical device, but a true musical instrument capable of evoking emotions and telling a story.\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n\r\n<h2>Collaborations and Recognitions<\/h2>\r\n<h2><img class=\"alignright wp-image-2779 size-woocommerce_thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/www.handmadesound.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/dophix-collaborazioni-540x360.jpg\" alt=\"Dophix Collaborations\" width=\"540\" height=\"360\" \/><\/h2>\r\nDophix has been chosen by Italian and international artists such as <strong>Giuseppe Scarpato<\/strong>, <strong>Artur Menezes<\/strong>, <strong>Ron Artis II<\/strong>, <strong>Saturnino<\/strong>, <strong>Piero Pel\u00f9<\/strong>, as well as bands and musicians featured on X-Factor.\r\n\r\nIn 2019, the <strong>Michelangelo Overdrive Plus<\/strong> was awarded among the six best pedals at the Summer NAMM in Nashville, marking an important international recognition for Tuscan craftsmanship.\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n\r\n<h2>Authentic Experience<\/h2>\r\nIt is possible to visit the Dophix workshop in <strong>Capraia e Limite<\/strong>, near Florence.\r\nEvery visit is a journey through history, craftsmanship, and sound: you can see pedals take shape, touch materials, listen to tonal differences, and understand the work behind each effect.\r\n\r\nAn immersive experience that combines a passion for music with Tuscan artisanal tradition, where every pedal is a small work of art ready to tell its story on stage.","link":"https:\/\/www.handmadesound.com\/en\/producers\/dophix\/","name":"Dophix","slug":"dophix","taxonomy":"pwb-brand","parent":0,"meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Dophix - Handmade Sound<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Discover the brand Dophix and all its creations.
