Why Aural Labs Exists

Aural Labs is where circuit design and musical instinct meet. The goal is simple: create tools that disappear under your hands so the only thing you hear is better tone — not the pedal.

Tools for Tone

From always-on utilities to feature pedals, Aural Labs focuses on designs that earn a permanent spot on your board.

Core line

Drive, Fuzz & Dynamics

Foundation gain stages, fuzz designs and compressors built to stack well and keep your picking dynamics intact.

Engineering for Players

Aural Labs grew out of the same workbench where guitars were repaired, pedals were modded, and schematics were sketched on scrap paper. The focus has always been the same: listen first, then design.

Every circuit starts as a sound in mind — clarity under gain, pick attack that stays intact, and a feel that makes you forget the pedal is even on.
