Big Tone Music Brewery

BigToneMusicBrewery (BTMB) is the sister company of  BigToneMusicBrewery production and design was put on hold in 2004 when demand for BuildYourOwnClone (BYOC) products became too great to continue running both businesses.  They now have a new focus and direction, and lots of ideas that we're very excited about.  BTMB is a labor of love for Keith and crew and they just could not keep it on the backburner any longer.  

At Build Your Own Clone, the goal is to create simple to build kits of all the essential and "standard" FX circuits that are must haves for guitar players.  Having the experience of BYOC in their corner has given BTMB a fresh new outlook on guitar FX design.  Working with thousands of beginners to help them build and modify their ideal pedals has helped themapproach FX design in a completely different way and to better see things from the customer's point of view.  BYOC also requires them to have such an intimate knowledge of so many different vintage circuits, they not only have a firm foundation of knowing what good tone is and how to get it, but they also have an insight into what already exists...and more importantly, what doesn't exist but should.
At BigToneMusicBrewery, the goal is to create new and exciting FX pedals that are simple to use and different from everything else out there.  They aren't going to produce 20 different versions of modified tube screamers and fuzz faces.  They aren't going to try to make weird "original" noise makers just for the sake of being original.  They know good tone and they know what's lacking in the world of guitar FX.  Their mission is to fill that gap.
