I'm Kevin Wasmer, founder, owner and inventor of Pedal Python™.

Back in 2010 as a guitar player in a fledgling rock band, I had a gloriously complicated pedalboard. It had 3 cables, but they were 30 feet long, and my band gigged a lot! 

After getting cursed out on more than one occasion for taking too long to set up, or to "Get off the damn stage already!!", tripping on my cords and losing a few expensive cables, I determined I was going to come up with a  way to get these cables in order or die trying.

First I tried electrical tape, that was a gooey mess. Next I tried using a mess of zip ties. After slicing my fingers open several times (OUCH) I realized this was a bad idea too. 

I went to music stores and found no cable organizers that worked with my cables. They were either bulky, ugly, or expensive. I even looked into getting all of my cables remade into what is known as "cable loom" or "cable snake". Those things are custom-made for professional musicians and can cost upwards of $300. No way José.

So in true rock and roll DIY spirit.... I made my own! I scoured the industrial market for the right types of material and invented a simple but effective system to hold it all in place no matter how many times I loaded and unloaded my gear. I also made it easy to take on and off, for those times I had to change out a bad cable. And that was very first version of what would become Pedal Python. Life was good. I even got off stage faster than the drummer! But something else happened. Every time we would do a show with other acts, the other guitar players kept asking me where they could buy this cool thing. I asked myself, is this something that people really want? So, I turned that question out to all my guitar player friends on a giant Facebook message thread with a picture of my "Pedal Python", asked them if they would want one and how much they'd pay. The results were eye-popping.

So, I sold one of my guitars, took the cash, bought a domain name and a bunch of product. Out of my basement, and with the help of a talented videographer and a nice lady I knew with an embroidering sewing machine, the first Pedal Python™ came to life.

Now, get off the stage! (Quickly, please.)
