Our Brands

Bleak District Electric

Based in Derbyshire in the UK, Bleak District Electric offer fabulous pedal designs, all hand-built by Phil.

​

These are absolutely wonderful pedals with superb design to boot.

British Pedal Company

​The British Pedal Company brings together a team of builders and developers with over 60 years of experience in the music industry. Originally developing, designing, and re-creating pedals for the JMI brand in the early 2000s, the team achieved great success. 

​

In 2011 they cut ties with the JMI brand and in 2014 launched their own range under the new British Pedal Company. Today, The British Pedal Company is able to offer a far superior product due to the sheer amount of hours of research gone into improving both production and the optimization of transistor manufacture. All of their transistors are manufactured to their own specification, ensuring improved reliability and low noise. 

Colortone Pedals

AD, Owner/builder at Colortone, began his fascination with sounds and electronics working weekends while at school, in band rehearsal rooms and at a AV company soldering circuit boards. He then moved into Film Post Production for the next 30 years as a Feature Film colorist working on films like The Great Gatsby, Predestination, Jungle and music videos in the 90’s for the likes of Soundgarden, Sting, The Eurythmics, The Pretenders, Brian Ferry and Simply Red.

In 2018, AD returned to his first passion and started building his own pedals after joining a new band with the first Colortone pedal becoming available in 2019.

​

Always striving for the best sound, Colortone thinks analog. A good guitar pedal should enhance your natural playing characteristics and the acoustic resonance of your instrument. Whether that sound is gritty, harmonically overdriven, plain sweet sounding or just raw pub rock in character, 

Demedash Effects

Demedash Effects is a one-man company based in Canada, run by Steve Demedash. 

When you buy a Demedash Effects device, you’re buying something Steve has designed personally and worked on from bottom to top. Concept, experimentation, circuitboard layout, enclosure art, user manual, assembly, testing, box design, swag design, everything. 

His designs are meant to sweep over an enormous swath of territory from vanilla to several different kinds of strange, and work beautifully at each and every point on that map. 

Fredric Effects

Fredric Effects are hand-made with care in North London, UK. They're boutique quality effects without excessive boutique price-tags. As guitarists themselves, they like pedals to be small and as fuss-free as possible - ideally a small, crazy-sounding pedal with only two knobs, maybe a switch, packaged in great original artwork. 

Tim and Stacey from Fredric Effects both play guitar in (resting) London band The Sailplanes. 

Fredric Effects are designed for years of use, with a focus on build quality and ensuring the finishes last. 

High Quality: 

• Custom enclosures fabricated for Fredric Effects in North London 

• Professional powder coating and screen print by local companies 

• PCB construction (not perf or vero) 

• Handmade either one at a time or in small batches 

Great Eastern FX

Great Eastern FX Co. is an independent pedal company proudly based in the East of England. 

Their workshop is in the small village of Bottisham. That's halfway between Cambridge, their original base and an international hub for science and innovation, and Newmarket, birthplace of the legendary NKT germanium transistors. 

That's appropriate because, in designing new pedals, the company tries to combine their love for the sounds and technology of the past with their desire to look forwards and bring something new to the conversation. 

Their pedals are all built by hand, using components selected for performance rather than price. They’re doing what they can to make their pedals more eco-friendly, including using recycled and recyclable packaging and using local suppliers wherever possible. 

Hudson Electronics

Based in Yorkshire, Hudson Electronics offer hand-built pedals with retro styling and sounds. Using vintage-style strip-boards, as well as new old-stock germanium and silicon transistors from Europe, Hudson’s pedals are bringing nostalgic tones back into the 21st Century.  

Hudson’s product range is led by their renowned Broadcast units. These germanium-based preamp pedals are based on a classic mixing console from the 60s; capable of delivering anything from an authentic clean boost to a heavy distortion and even fuzz. 

Intensive Care Audio

Intensive Care Audio have manufactured high quality guitar effects pedals for the treatment of Bland Tone Syndrome and Excessive Aural Dryness in the in-neighborhood of Hackney, London, England since 2020. 

This is the doctor you go to, if you feel like your setup needs a serious sonic vitamin injection. From the aggressive filter freak-outs of the Vena Cava Filter, the crushingly wide dirt range of the Death Drive, to the extremely lush and trippy phaser and tremolo tones of the Recovery Phase and the dreamy undulating lo-fi landscapes of the Fideleater, Intensive Care Audio’s tonal prescriptions are sure to bring back your joy for experimenting with sound again. 

Land Devices

Land Devices was born in 2017, after an intense tone quest that ended with them shaking their fists and saying, “Fine, we’ll build it ourselves!” The result? The HP-2: their first pedal and accidental origin story. 

Everything made by the company is designed and assembled in Long Beach, CA. 

Latent Lemon Audio

Hand built effects pedals from Luton. Latent Lemon Audio pedals are made with top quality components and are built to last. 

Whilst working as a sound engineer and producer at recording studios such as Fortress Studios and Southern Studios in London, Latent Lemon Audio founder, Justin Saban would take along his own handmade pedals to use on sessions. Word soon got around and bands started asking him to build pedals for them. In 2012, Latent Lemon Audio released their best-selling The Hurts pedal, since when they have continued to grow 

Lateral Phonics

Lateral Phonics are a research, development, production team and art workshop. They implement their sound ideas into various stompboxes. Each of their stompboxes reflects their passion for unique sound, creativity, visual art and, of course, music. 

Custom schematics, high quality audio components, handmade assembling, conceptual approach and individual art painted. All these things together form an unusual and authentic product. 

Life is Unfair

Life is Unfair Audio Devices make hand-made, screen-printed effects pedals from their base in Cardiff. 

A one person operation, Grindle meticulously hand builds each pedal at his home workshop. 

Missing Link Audio

You know that sound — the one that stopped you in your tracks.
That vintage guitar tone that defined an era, a song, a moment in music history.

You’ve tried to capture it — tweaking, swapping, chasing — but it’s always just out of reach. We get it. We’ve been there.

Missing Link Audio was built by artists, engineers, and road-worn tone freaks who never stopped chasing that perfect sound. With over 50 years in the trenches — on stage, in studios, and at the workbench — we learned from the legends who shaped music history, and from the unsung heroes behind the gear.

That experience lives in every handcrafted effects pedal, custom pickup and amplifier we build — to help you finally capture the tone in your head and make it your own.

Where innovation keeps tradition alive. 

Rainger FX

Rainger FX’s mission is to make cutting-edge guitar effects pedals for today’s musicians, designing and manufacturing them in the UK and selling them worldwide. 

Set up by David Rainger in 2009, Rainger FX is a London-based guitar effects company, designing and building new kinds of effects pedals, and providing new sounds inspired by music around right now – with a totally distinctive visual style and use. 

Their ethos is that pedals should sound great, be totally reliable, and be fun. And if the whole thing can be done simply – then that’s best of all. 

Raygun FX

Raygun FX are based in Southend-on-Sea, Essex, UK, where they hand-make guitar and bass effects pedals. All pedals are made in small batches and can be seen on the pedalboards of guitarists in many well-known bands (Noel Galagher’s High-Flying Birds, Doves, Feeder, Ash). 

As well offering their own range of effects, they build custom effects pedals to individual specifications, with custom artwork.  

Reuss

Reuss Musical Instruments is a one man business run by Anders Marcuslund-Reuss in Copenhagen. His ambition for Reuss Musical Instruments is to make great sounding guitar effect pedals of uncompromising quality. 

Reuss pedals are completely handmade in the European Union. Some work is done by Anders and some by his electronics partner in the beautiful city of Plovdiv, Bulgaria. 

All the pedals are fully or partly soldered by hand, using old fashioned 'through hole' parts, and they are all hard wired and feature upgraded quality footswitches and jacks. A lot of the circuits call for obsolete vintage parts, and Anders goes all the way to source these, as he believes the devil is in the detail. 

Ricochet (pedalboards)

Ricochet Pedalboards are hand-made by Ric in his Bolton workshop. They are, in our humble opinion, the coolest pedalboards available.  

They are hand-made from high quality 18mm plywood and features include: 

Genuine Velcro top for attaching pedals 

Side cutouts + internal rubber grips for easy handling 

DC2.1mm power connector for tidy power supply management 

Cable hole + cable tie saddles for good cable management 

They come in a variety of colours and we always carry a selection. Let us know if you would like to see any other available options. 

Thorpy FX

Hand-made in the UK, Thorpy FX want you to obsess about buying their pedals as much as they obsess about making them. This isn't just another product, it's the opportunity to craft your sound to the highest standard possible. They hand-build everything, using through-hole components in-house so they can retain full control over the quality. It won't leave the building unless it's perfect in their eyes. They test every pedal through a valve amp to ensure it’s going to give you the tone it was designed to. 

In a nutshell, the mission at ThorpyFX is to produce the best sounding, most robust and most beautiful guitar effects available. This is achieved through great design, great engineering and holding true to their ethos of providing "Superior Fidelity Tone Machines” to discerning guitarists. 

True North

True North Pedals are a small business based in Saskatchewan, Canada, which specializes in both custom and pre-made pedals. Each pedal has been hand built, from start to finish, in their workshop and covered in authentic tweed fabric. Each pedal they make is hand crafted and tested with care.  

The company was born out of a love for playing the guitar. The owner, Sheldon, received a pedal modification kit for Christmas one year and the rest, as they say, is history he’s been building pedals ever since!  

With 30+ years of experience playing acoustic, electric, bass, banjo, and mandolin and four years of touring, as an electric guitar player, he has an ear for great tone. 

Twilight Pulse Audioworks

Twilight Pulse Audioworks is run by Kit, an ex-musician, ex-photographer, ex-graphic designer, ex-marketeer and ex-sales management professional. 

Several years ago, out of boredom and curiosity, he decided to venture into this hobby called pedal building. 

He says that this was the greatest mistake of his life as he quickly got addicted and couldn't stop building. And then he made it worse, as he actually went and got a job at a pedal company. That led to him starting to build pedals for other people. And now, he has his own fabulous brand.  

Zander Circuitry

​‘We Make Cool Shit’ is the strapline on their website - and an accurate description. 

Founder Alex Millar started making pedals as a hobby, and seeing how well they were being received he decided to put a brand name behind it. 

From those beginnings in 2016, Zander Circuitry have continually tried to improve their product range, focusing on flexibility and build quality. The company continues to push boundaries and offer incredible pedals for the modern guitarist.
