About the company:
We’re a group of pedal makers in Minneapolis and Amsterdam. Our first pedal, Warped Vinyl, was an analog vibrato with a digital brain. The idea was to match the quality and character of analog processing with the anything-goes flexibility of digital control. We make digital circuits now too, but the approach is the same: Offer new and deeply personal ways to interact with effects.

Really apreciate the focus on Mike's philosophy around staying small and intentional with production. The King of Tone waitlist is legendary at this point, but it shows how much he prioritizes quality over just scaling up. I've been on a few waitlists for pedals myself and honestly the anticipation kinda makes the gear feel more special once it arrives.
