There was a buzz this week in the effects world, and not a good one.  On Memorial Day, Andrew Richardson of ZVEX went missing.  Zachary Vex put out an alert on social media and it spread across a lot of the industry outlets and forums.  Things immediately did not look good.

Sadly, he was found dead.

Andy was an important guy for one of the best companies in the guitar business, so I wanted to post a quick message here to help bring awareness and try to push people to the memorial page his family set up.  He’s got a wife and young kid that could definitely use some support.

Best wishes to Andy’s family and the ZVEX family in getting through these really crappy times.
