About us

Built by engineers
who play guitar

We're a team of three software engineers and passionate tinkerers who got tired of breadboarding a circuit just to hear what one capacitor change does.

50 Years of Engineering

We've spent decades leading technology teams at large organizations. We bring that rigor to every line of code behind PedalLab.

Musicians First

We play guitar, we build pedals, we obsess over tone. PedalLab exists because we wanted a tool like this for ourselves.

Simplicity & Education

No frustrating interfaces, no gatekeeping. We believe anyone should be able to explore electronics and understand what they're hearing.

Our mission

We want anyone — from a curious beginner to a seasoned builder — to fully understand what happens inside a guitar pedal and have a great, non-frustrating experience experimenting with electronics in this niche we love.
