Our guitar effects and modules are trusted by world-class musicians and studios, including Tame Impala, Andy Summers, The Roots, Mars Volta, and Deadmau5.
We value diligence, initiative, and resourcefulness. We are looking for people who work hard, work smart, and work fast. Our team shares a deep passion for sound and a commitment to sparking joy—whether it’s through the gear we create, the service we provide, or the relationships we build with our customers.
