About MoonTone

I have played guitar since I was eight, and I bought my first pedal at seventeen with allowance money I had saved. As an adult I realized pedals did more than change my sound. They widened what I could express.

In 2009 I started building pedalboards for myself and for musician friends. Word got around that I could dial in a great tone with almost any gear, and soon friends were asking me to set up their rigs for shows and studio sessions. Years of chasing tone meant buying, using and selling a lot of pedals, from vintage analog to the newest digital and hybrid modelers. Along the way I started working with digital amp modelers and hybrid setups. In 2024, MoonTone became an official company.

I have built a deep collection of overdrives and fuzzes. Many are rare, expensive or both, and most players will never get to try them. Capture technology has changed that. The Neural DSP Quad Cortex and Quad Cortex mini recreate drive pedals faithfully, so you can own the sound without paying collector prices or hunting for months.

My background is in engineering and product development, and I bring the same rigor to every capture and every build. I love all styles of music, but 90s rock, grunge and alternative are home base.
