Colour your sound, not your soul.
This isn't a hair-melter. The Smunch is a subtle creature — natural, gritty, and deeply responsive. It breathes with your playing, digging in as you attack and stepping back when you ease off. Think natural tube amp overdrive: crunchy where it counts, warm everywhere else. Two controls. That's all you need.
02 / 05
Everything in its right place.
A compressor that listens before it acts. The Settle tames peaks and lifts the quiet without squashing the life out of your playing. Sustain that blooms naturally, attack you can feel, and a level control that keeps things musical. The glue your signal chain didn't know it needed.
03 / 05
Shape it. Don't force it.
A 7-band graphic EQ that gives you surgical control without surgical coldness. Whether you're taming a boxy midrange, adding a touch of warmth to the low end, or lifting some air into the top end — the Contour does it without drawing attention to itself. Transparent when you want it, decisive when you need it.
04 / 05
Get out of your own signal chain.
Sometimes the best thing between your guitar and amp is nothing at all. The Effects Loop is a true bypass looper — clean, passive, and completely transparent when engaged. Use it to isolate pedals, A/B your signal, or just get out of the way. Built small. Built right. Disappears into your board the moment you stop needing it.
05 / 05
Room, space, and room to breathe.
A reverb that doesn't try to be a studio. The Drift conjures natural space — the kind you feel rather than notice. Mix in as much or as little as you need; let the Decay bloom out behind your notes or keep it tight and intimate. A hall, a room, a corridor — whatever your playing needs to live in.
Got a pedal that's stopped singing? We diagnose, repair, and restore guitar effects pedals — boutique, vintage, or everyday stomps — with the same care we put into every Drifttone build.
Get in touch with a description of the problem and we'll come back with an honest assessment. No jargon, no surprises. Repairs start from £30.
Send Us Your PedalDrifttone was born from a simple frustration: too many pedals do too much. They overwhelm. They perform. They demand attention. We wanted something quieter — a range of pedals that make you sound more like you, not less.
Every Drifttone pedal is hand-built in the UK with real care. Quality components, time taken, everything tested properly before it leaves the bench. The result is a range that drifts into your signal chain and just belongs there.
New builds, upcoming pedals, and the occasional dispatch from the workshop.
