Rej and Juansolo, who where the most notable individuals forming the core of Grind Customs FX, seem to have gotten burned out on making new pedal designs, making and selling PCBs and the whole scene in general. After we ordered the PCBs we wanted (for the pedals listed below), the Grind Customs FX website, for a long time, was non-existent. What then existed for a while afterwards was a generic and otherwise empty Wordpress site. Now that's gone too. It suggests that GrindCustomsFX is done. Gone. Bye-bye.
More recently, Juansolo has posted to the Madbean Pedals forum under the separate Grind Customs FX section. If you wish to see, you must sign up to be a member of the Madbean Pedals forum and login to gain access to the Grind Customs FX section, and other sections each dedicated to other pedal PCB makers.
Here are all the GrindCustomsFX build documents, & Juansolo's personal "stompage" page (Juansolo has warned us that these may go down at any time, never to return):
We don't see any way that it's currently possible to order any additional or new Grind Customs PCBs as things currently stand. We'll try reaching out personally. We're certainly disappointed as we also want to build their "Temple of Giants" fuzz, and the "Kwawk Wah". But most importantly, we are disappointed about the dismantling of GCFX as they certainly seemed to have the same affinity for "heavy music" that we ourselves enjoy.
Here's a note Zander got from Juansolo regarding GCFX:
As for the makeup of Grind. Grind Customs was Rej Bernier's thing. We just helped out. English isn't his first language so I helped out with the docs. Cleggy and I did a few effects that ended up being offered by Rej, but we've also done that for others in the DIY scene. There were a load of guys at one point all collaborating with Rej. But he's since moved on. His real world job got in the way. He worked in the very frozen north of Canada, the sorts of places only accessible by plane when the weather is good enough, and eventually commitments and life just became too much and Grind fell by the wayside. There isn't really anyone else to pick up the mantle as all those involved were dotted all over the world and likewise, have lives that get in the way...
