“Achenbach” Red Muck

About the "Achenbach Series":

John Achenbach is a Storyboard Artist and Animation Professional with a long history on the legendary show "The Simpsons" and a guitarist/musician. The "Achenbach Series" is the result of a loving friendship that has developed through the years out of mutual respect for what each of us does!

Here's a little insider's look into his process for coming up with his designs, using the "Achenbach Series" Tubedreamer as an example:

"You just can’t beat nature. For inspiration, I researched the first amplifier tubes to design a JAM pedals character and found this Fleming tube from 1904. Then a friend recently posted a real pic of a virus under an electron microscope. Damn.. that’s freaky." John Achenbach
