For many years, musicians of all levels have had two choices when it came to the purchase of guitar effects - mass-market (which are now mostly manufactured in China using low quality parts) and boutique. Mass market guitar pedals come in all price levels but very seldom offer superior performance in terms of tone and construction. Boutique guitar effects, while usually (but not always) offering an upgrade in this area, often fall short in terms of price. Compulsive Audio Group was launched in the Summer of 2009 as a direct response to this need.
Each of our effects pedals are designed to deliver exceptional tone quality and transparency. To accomplish this goal, all of our guitar effects benefit from the following:
In addition to our own guitar effects, we also offer custom mods to stock guitar effects. Please inquire for rates.
Compulsive Audio guitar pedals are completely built in the USA - the boards and components are all put together here in NJ. Some of the larger "made in USA" brands including some boutique builders actually have their boards made in China. If you are tired of the mass-produced, over-hyped and cheaply produced plastic junk being passed off as guitar effects, then you have come to the right place! We sell only the very best hand-made pedals. The pedals we build will last you a lifetime and will not cost you an arm and a leg to own.

The Texas Holdem Overdrive Pedal comes in two versions - ZZ and SRV. The Texas Holdem SRV has a smooth Texas blues tone reminiscent of Stevie Ray himself. The Texas Holdem ZZ has a biting brown sound that is perfect for Southern Rock.
The Jimi Octave Fuzz guitar effects pedal is based upon the legendary Tycobrahe Octavia. With this killer fuzz pedal you can achieve cool octave-up sounds ala Hendrix and SRV's live shows.
We try to keep most pedals we sell in stock. These items will usually ship the business day after your order. There is no delay on pedals you send in for mods, those are worked on within 24 hours after we receive them. Usually mods take only a few days, often one day.
Complex pedals or customized effects are built to order, so there can be up to a week delay before they ship.
We currently offer several different mods on the Boss DS-1 and SD-1, with more Boss models to be added soon.
The Tone Oracle Overdrive is our top of the line overdrive pedal. We introduced this pedal in late summer 2010. The Tone Oracle overdrive pedal emulates the vintage tones of a classic rock guitar amp - the '68 Marshall Plexi.
Our Face Off Fuzz pedals are built with NOS transistors for vintage Fuzz Face tone. Now available in a Germanium version!
