Welcome to DPE Pedals. We're passionate about building original circuits that are influenced by the best historical designs, but strive to push the envelop of tone further. We hand build everything and obsessively source the best circuit components. Each pedal goes through a rigorous testing and iteration process – we experiment, we select the perfect transistors, capacitors, resistors, switches, etc – we tune and balance the design for flexibility, power, simplicity and price point. At the end of the day, we don't ship a pedal until it has a truly great sonic character and offers something uniquely valuable to players. Please reach out to us with your questions, ideas and feedback!
- NEW RELEASES -
Buzz Tone
The Perfect Syd Barrett - Pink Floyd - Fuzz Tones
We took the old-school Selmer Buzz Tone and created a new version that not only sounds better, but reacts better. Modified circuitry gives a smoother response throughout the gain ranges. Updated power section reduces floor noise at high gain, and helps keep voltages stable. The voltage selector switch acts as if you're adding sag to your tubes; we love this switch!
Each pedal has an extensive germanium transistor selection process, each transistor individually tested, and fully biased to dial in the final sound.

Lonestar Fuzz
Texas Style Fuzz Face
Everyone needs to own a classic Fuzz Face pedal. This one is versioned after the famed Cesar Diaz Texas Square Face fuzz. We modified it for a lower floor noise at high volumes, to create a fuzz tone that is exceptional.
Hand selected NOS germanium transistors are crucial to the tonal quality of a great fuzz. Check this out for a unique and amazing Fuzz Face variant.
