Free tools, calculators and resources built by someone who has spent two decades engineering enterprise infrastructure by day — and chasing guitar tone by night. Both worlds. One place.
Practical, free tools for guitar amp builders, tube amp enthusiasts and pedal makers. No login, no fluff — just useful electronics knowledge for guitarists at every level.
Free calculators, planning tools and reference guides for data centre engineers, network architects and infrastructure programme managers. Built from real-world enterprise experience.
Guitar amp builds, tube amp repairs, pedal teardowns and electronics tutorials. From biasing your first amp to understanding output transformer design — practical knowledge for guitarists who want to go deeper.

Two worlds. One person. Built from genuine experience in both.
Potato Head Electronics is run by Arya Sridhar — an infrastructure programme manager and self-taught guitar electronics enthusiast based in Bangalore, with nearly two decades of experience delivering complex technology programmes across the UK, India and internationally.
By profession, Arya has spent 19+ years in infrastructure programme and project management — owning the delivery of large-scale data centre builds, POP site deployments, hybrid cloud migrations, enterprise network rollouts and company infrastructure separations. With deep exposure to environments spanning MPLS, BGP, OSPF and SD-WAN, he has also led site reliability engineering and database operations teams across global organisations. He holds certifications including PMP, PRINCE2, Microsoft Azure Solutions Architect, VMware VCP and ITIL.
Away from infrastructure delivery, Arya is a guitarist who became obsessed with the electronics inside the gear. Entirely self-taught — through years of reading schematics, repairing amps, building pedals from scratch and learning everything through trial, error and curiosity — he built Potato Head Electronics as the resource hub he wished had existed when he started. The YouTube channel and these tools are the result of that journey: practical, honest knowledge shared freely with no gatekeeping.
The name? A potato wearing headphones and holding a guitar. Memorable, a little ridiculous, and completely on brand. Sometimes the best ideas come from not taking yourself too seriously.
Nearly two decades owning the delivery of data centre builds, POP deployments, cloud migrations, network rollouts and infrastructure separations across global organisations. Deep exposure to complex, multi-vendor infrastructure environments. The DC and network tools on this site come directly from that real-world delivery experience.
Entirely self-taught in guitar amp and pedal electronics. Started by fixing a broken amp, ended up deep in schematics, point-to-point wiring and bias measurements. The guitar tools on this site are built for players who want to understand what is actually happening inside their gear — no prior electronics knowledge required.
Good information on both guitar electronics and infrastructure engineering is either scattered, paywalled or buried in technical jargon. These tools exist because practical, accessible knowledge should be free. Every tool here is built to be genuinely useful — not a lead magnet or a teaser for a paid course.
Network troubleshooter, subnet calculator, bandwidth utilisation tool, spine-leaf topology planner and DC TCO calculator on the infrastructure side. Tone stack visualiser, speaker impedance checker and pedal component calculator on the guitar side. New tools added regularly — subscribe on YouTube to stay updated.
