United States · Est. 1993
Analogman
The most respected pedal modifier and boutique builder in the world. King of Tone is the most sought-after overdrive pedal ever made.
About the brand
AnalogMan was founded in 1993 by Mike Piera in Danbury, Connecticut. Piera began modifying Boss, Ibanez, and other production pedals to improve their tone before developing original designs. His modification service remains highly regarded today.
The King of Tone is the most legendarily difficult pedal to obtain in the industry — the wait list has at times stretched to several years. It is a dual-channel overdrive with a germanium diode option that can replicate a wide range of vintage amp tones with extraordinary touch sensitivity. Players describe it as the most 'organic' feeling overdrive ever made.
AnalogMan's Sun Face NKT275 germanium fuzz is equally revered among fuzz enthusiasts. The Bi-Comprossor — a combination of two different compressor circuits — is the studio tool choice of session players who want maximum control over dynamics. Every pedal is built by hand by Mike and his small team.
