Long bio
Victor Fidelis started playing music at 6, on a drum kit made of pots and buckets. At 14, he traded the sticks for a guitar and practiced up to 8 hours a day. With a degree in Music Production from Anhembi Morumbi University, he co-founded the band Heavy Glow, which in 2023 got to play with Chad Smith, helped develop the WX-10 pedal with VRM Effects and, in 2024, launched JF Guitar Masterclass, a course with students in several countries. In late 2025, he started building Fidelis Rig, his tone platform, coming soon.
