Alexander Pedals builds hand-crafted effects pedals in Garner, North Carolina.  Each Alexander 

Pedal is meticulously voiced and tweaked by our sonic scientists to achieve sounds that are 

both instantly familiar yet completely unique.

Alexander Pedals are designed by Matthew Farrow and a group of trusted players, builders, 

and friends.  Matthew has been building guitar pedals since the late 1990s, first with Pharaoh 

Amplifiers, and now with Disaster Area Designs.  Matthew has designed some of the most 

innovative effects units on the market, including some big names he’s not allowed to tell you 

about.

Alexander Pedals was started for two reasons - to make great tones, and to do good.  The 

great tones part you probably have some idea about.  As for doing good, Alexander Pedals 

donates a portion of the profits from every pedal sold to charity, whether you buy from us 

or our dealers.  Matthew’s younger brother Alex passed away in 1987 of a form of cancer 

called neuroblastoma.  Alexander Pedals honors his memory by helping in the fight to end 

childhood cancer.
