Chase the Tone. Capture the Myth

At Cryptid Effects, we build hand-wired guitar and bass pedals inspired by legends, lore, and the thrill of the unknown. We don't make ordinary effects — we create sonic artifacts designed to pull you beyond the familiar and reward your curiosity with something wild, vivid, and alive.

We build pedals that we find interesting, enjoy playing and using, and make sure it's been tested and used on the road before putting it up for sale. Each pedal is an invitation to explore new sounds, new stories, and uncharted musical landscapes — to chase a tone you’ve never heard before and capture something wholly your own.

Built by hand in the wilds beyond Austin, Texas with premium components and restless creativity, Cryptid Effects is here for players who believe the best music lives just past the edges of what’s known.
