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

Hey, DFW guitar and bass players!

Don’t forget that the Dallas International Guitar Festival is next weekend, Fri, May 3 thru Sun, May 5 at Market Hall. There will be lots of bands playing all weekend, and LOTS of guitars and gear to check out. Of course, we’ll be there with a big assortment of affordable rackmount guitar effects for you to play. Stop by, grab a guitar, and plug into our Big Stack of custom effect modules to see how it all works and sounds.

While we think you’ll like both how it works and how it sounds, we think you’ll like our pricing just as much. Sure, maybe the big stars can afford custom rack effects that cost as much as a good car or a small house, but most of us can’t afford anything remotely like that. Instead, we’re making our custom rack effects available at prices comparable to what you pay for good pedalboard solutions. That puts a custom rack solution within your reach. The cost to “get in” is comparable to the cost of a good pedalboard, with a quality power supply, and a switching solution. The costs of individual effect modules (what you would normally call “guitar pedals”) is comparable to the prices of quality pedals from the best pedal companies. For the price of a decent guitar, you could have a custom rack effects solution behind you on stage, instead of a pedalboard in front of you on the floor! Presently we have over 200 different effects module configurations to choose from, not counting the hundreds of optional mods and customizations you can also consider. Of course, your current pedals and rack gear are compatible with our effects, so you can mix in your favorite pedals if you want. I’m dangerously close to diving into a hundred pages of cool detail, so I’ll leave it there and just add that we have a very flexible system with many options, and the more you learn about it, the more we think you’ll like it. Tons of detail is available at our website, but stop by our booth at the show to try it out and save yourself a lot of reading!

All of our effects are built by hand, one at a time, to your specific configuration, right here in Dallas, Texas. It’s old-school construction, meant to last generations – no flimsy, foreign-built, disposable electronics here! Check out our website www.gerlttechnologies.com to get all the details, including pricing, but stop by the show this weekend to check it out in person!

We hope to see you there!
