What We're All About

Founded in 2005, we are all about sound: original guitar sound. We are a team of builders, designers, and inventors who strive to make exciting and original guitar effects that inspire musicians. Our passion is to give them the tools they need to create any sound they can dream of (and even some they can't). Tame Impala, The Roots, Mars Volta, Andy Summers, Deadmau5, Peter Townsend, Julien Baker and other world-class musicians use our guitar effects and modules. On any given night thousands of music fans are hearing our pedals in stadiums and clubs all around the world. Some of our products are analog and some are digital, but we make sure they all spark joy. This joy can be purchased in hundreds of stores around the world.
