Who is TONECAT?
TONECAT is a boutique guitar pedal brand based in Melbourne, Australia. Founded around a love of guitars, cats, and creative ideas, TONECAT builds handcrafted effects in small batches for players who want something a little different. Its lineup includes fuzz, overdrive, distortion, delay, chorus, phaser, tremolo, compression, boost, bass, and other guitar effects. Every pedal brings together useful tones, eye-catching artwork, and the playful personality that makes TONECAT easy to spot on any pedalboard.
History of TONECAT
TONECAT was established in 2025 as a small father-and-daughter project in Melbourne. Founder Ryan started the brand with a simple goal — make great guitar pedals that players would enjoy using, talking about, and keeping for years. What began with experimenting with circuits at home soon grew into a growing collection of pedals, characters, artwork, and unusual ideas.
The company has stayed independent and focused on small-batch production. Rather than trying to make the biggest range possible, TONECAT continues to explore fresh ideas and create pedals with plenty of personality. Notable products include the CatZilla distortion, Fuzz à l'Huile, Rat Trap V2, Papa Booster, Sir Fuzzington, PurrMancer, and KageNeko 99. The brand also offers its Série Atelier custom shop, where individual pedals can become one-of-a-kind hand-finished works of art.
