The only nearby to here I can think of at the moment is Line 6 but I thinks that's in Calabasas , which is farther than LA for you. Not a pedal comany, but Yamaha has a building there in the OC.

Don't take this the wrong way, but you and 3 million other people want to go "intern" at these places... Those are the types of jobs that you only generally get by networking and knowing the people there, and even then it is hard. In this economy few places are hiring or looking for interns at all. I wish you luck, but I would not hold my breath on getting an internship or sponsorship right now...Also, the vast number of sponsored people still only get stuff at cost not free (alot of people get confused about that).... Unless you are getting very regular airplay/etc of course. Anyway, good luck.

Also, pretty much all the major pedal companies actually make pedals in the far east.
