For many years, musicians of all levels have had two choices when it came to the purchase of guitar effects - mass-market (which are now mostly manufactured in China using low quality parts) and boutique. Mass market guitar pedals come in all price levels but very seldom offer superior performance in terms of tone and construction. Boutique guitar effects, while usually (but not always) offering an upgrade in this area, often fall short in terms of price. Compulsive Audio Group was launched in the Summer of 2009 as a direct response to this need.

Each of our effects pedals are designed to deliver exceptional tone quality and transparency. To accomplish this goal, all of our guitar effects benefit from the following:

• True bypass circuit paths, military grade boards and silver solder to reduce tone-sucking
• Exceptional quality switches, jacks and passive components
• Audiophile quality active components
• Proven analog tube circuit designs that we have ported to the modern semiconductor realm
• High impedance input circuits (typically >1.5 megohm) to preserve tone and volume
• Solid metal enclosures for years of reliability
• Every effect we make is built by hand and auditioned to ensure quality

In addition to our own guitar effects, we also offer custom mods to stock guitar effects. Please inquire for rates.
