Nordvang Custom is a high-end guitar pedal company in Copenhagen, Denmark that uses top shelf components and focuses on quality over quantity. There are no shortcuts taken when it comes to Nordvang's products. Here is Nordvang Custom's story, from owner/builder Henrik Nordvang himself…

"Music and tone has always been a big part of my life, I think it is like that for a lot of people in the gear industry in different ways. I vividly remember the first time my father played his Dire Straits tape for me back in '89. This lead me to discover the legendary sounds of Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan. I began playing guitar in my early teens, not imagining that years later, I would get to work with what I love.

I was always interested in the quality of sound, knowing and understanding that good music doesn’t always equal good sound, if the equipment isn’t right. At age 28, after working in retail at a Hi-Fi chain for 8 years, I decided to take the plunge and went to school. I studied as an electrical technician, and during my studies, I worked as an apprentice for 3 years at Bang & Olufsen in their R&D department. Working at B&O was a dream come true, as this is where I learned from the best of the best, and was intrigued about product development.

While working at B&O, I built pedals for friends and colleagues. In 2014 I started Nordvang Custom (Shout out to my friend Peter Dorvil a.k.a Guitar Hunter for giving me the idea to start my own pedal business.) I released my first pedal in December 2014, the No.1 overdrive. After 6 years, No.1 is now officially retired.

April 20, 2020 marks a huge milestone for Nordvang Custom, as we launched a trio of new overdrive pedals. Many months of hard work has finally paid off, and I am excited and proud to launch these pedals."...
