– About this Project –


LAUNCHING IN AUSTIN DURING SXSW 2019!
We are excited to announce that we will debut the first print issue of the Delicious Audio mag at the 2019 Austin Stompbox Exhibit!

THE TEAM
The same team that has worked on dozens of issues of the Deli Magazine, together with Nicholas Kula from Pro Guitar Shop and Distortion LTD, will create a new zine format entirely focused on pedals (featuring a small section on synths).

INTERACTIVE CONTENT AND ADS WITH YOUTUBE VIDEOS
Making the most of the latest digital magazine platforms, the online issue of Delicious Audio will present mixed media content including articles, images, but also streaming YouTube videos produced by third-party pedal videographers—potentially also those of your own company!

Here’s an example of a digital page with streaming content:
