Gerlt Technologies makes hundreds of customizable rack effects, at prices comparable to guitar pedals.  It's time to dump that pedal board and get Your Tone off the floor!

 

 What We Do

You know them as guitar pedals

We build them as rack effect modules you can customize to get Your Tone

Put several rack effect modules into a 3U rack enclosure

Connect power and audio on the back like guitar pedals, adding connections for remote switching

Add a remote footswitch unit to turn rack effects on and off

Add as many rack effect modules, enclosures, and third-party products as you like. Plug in your guitar and amp. Rock it! It's that simple.

Hello Effects Fans!

I hope your 2025 is off to a good start!

This is just a quick note to let you know that we are back to normal shipping after the holiday break.  We may have another shipping interruption later in the Spring due to travel, but the dates are not yet firm.  I'll provide an update when we have it sorted out.

All the best,

Bill Gerlt

It’s Pi Time!

Don’t forget that March 14 is National Pi Day, a geeky celebration of our favorite irrational number, which is approximately 3.14159265.  In case you didn’t know, in audio circuit design we use pi all the time to calculate frequency cut-off points for many applications including filters, tone controls, noise reduction, and pretty much anything else that impacts which frequencies in a circuit are affected as part of the effect, perhaps one of the most fundamental aspects of audio circuit design.  Most places where you see a capacitor in an audio circuit, a calculation involving pi was used to select its size.  Pi Day – we’re all in!  Of course, here in Dallas we often use 3.1416 for pi in our calculations, since things are a little bigger here in Texas...

Naturally, Pi Day is a great excuse to begin designing your custom GT rack effects solution around the best-known fuzz effect ever, available as the GT Pi module.  We offer many of the known EHX Big Muff Pi variants and derivatives, along with the ability to design your own Pi by choosing custom components and features. 

You can find all the details about our Pi module, including the recently-released Fire Pi, at Pi.  If you can’t find the type of Pi you’re looking for, just let us know and we’ll likely be able to offer a custom configuration to meet your needs.
