Welcome to the ToneCat Universe
A world where handcrafted Melbourne-made pedals become collectible sonic companions.

More than pedals.
TONECAT is an ever-growing universe of curious creatures, handcrafted in Melbourne and brought to life through sound, art, and imagination. Every creation is built in small batches, lovingly assembled by hand, and designed to inspire musical exploration.
Tone
Boutique circuits crafted for inspiring, musical sounds that respond dynamically to your playing. Each design is tuned with character in mind—whether it’s warm and vintage, gritty and unpredictable, or smooth and expressive—so the tone feels alive rather than purely technical.
Art
Hand-drawn character designs and unique finishes that give each ToneCat its own visual identity. Every pedal is treated like a small canvas, combining illustration, texture, and handcrafted detailing to create something that feels more like a collectible art piece than a standard effect unit.
Story
Every pedal has its own personality, name, and tale within the TONECAT Universe. These stories shape how each creature behaves, sounds, and interacts with players, turning your pedalboard into a living collection of characters rather than just a chain of effects.
meet the creatures
Every TONECAT creation begins as a curious character with its own personality, voice, and story to tell. From vintage-inspired fuzz companions to adventurous sonic explorers, each creature is handcrafted in Melbourne in small batches and designed to inspire creativity. Discover the inhabitants of the ToneCat Universe and find the sonic companion that speaks to you.
SkyClaw isn’t just an overdrive — it’s a tribute to tone heroes everywhere. This boutique Klon-style drive pedal is tuned for midrange magic, making it perfect for expressive leads, gritty rhythm, and everything in between. Featuring bespoke artwork of Mr. Tonecat’s childhood hero, SkyClaw celebrates the players who inspire us — whether it’s a parent, a mentor, a music idol… or that friend who finally explained impedance.
A germanium fuzz inspired by the golden age of Tone Benders. This cat fuzz pedal delivers raw, expressive fuzz with touch-sensitive dynamics, housed in a classic Sola Sound wedge enclosure — classic germanium, irradiated.
Meet BassPresso Bass Preamp— the low-end brew straight from TONECAT’s back-alley café. Inspired by the Ampeg bass preamp that defined generations of groove, this cup hits warm, deep, and deliciously smooth.
Twist the knobs — Drive, High, Low, Presence, and Mix — and shape your perfect roast while the XLR DI and parallel out pour your tone just the way you like it — hot and full-bodied.
Fuzzbubu is a limited-edition Tonecat fuzz pedal inspired by the playful chaos of Labubu, built around a classic Muff-style circuit and available with the option to pair it with a sealed POPMART Labubu Macaron blind box.
Simple, bold, and full of character, this three-knob monster delivers thick, woolly fuzz with effortless sustain — the kind that fills the room and refuses to behave.
Cute on the outside. Loud on the inside.
Each unit is part of a one-time drop — once they’re gone, they’re gone.
Adopt responsibly.
It bites.
THE HOME OF TONE
The Home of Tone collection is designed as an interconnected ecosystem, allowing players to build a creative foundation that evolves with their musical journey.
One-of-One. Crafted For You.
The TONECAT Série Atelier is where imagination becomes one-of-a-kind reality. Each commission is a deeply personal collaboration, transforming a pedal into a bespoke creation shaped by story, style, and sonic intent. From hand-painted artwork to custom finishes and plush “FuzzBubu” treatments, every detail is considered and built by hand in Melbourne. No two Atelier pieces are ever the same—each one is a singular expression of its owner and a permanent resident of the TONECAT Universe, created to be played, displayed, and remembered.
Built To Be Collected.
TONECAT creations are designed with rarity and longevity in mind, embracing the idea that great pedals are not just tools, but objects of lasting value. Each release is produced in small, intentional batches, individually numbered, and often retired permanently once a chapter is complete. Some designs may never return, making every piece a snapshot in the evolving TONECAT story. With certificates of authenticity, seasonal drops, and evolving character lore, every pedal becomes part of a growing collection—something to be discovered, cherished, and passed on within the ToneCat Universe.
LAST ONE LEFT.
Where warmth meets expression. The BlankSlate Overdrive — Anniversary Gold Edition — is a celebration of tone in its most organic form. Wrapped in full-grain gold leather and paired with a hand-finished wooden knob, each piece is crafted over four meticulous days.
Under the hood lives our signature Klon-inspired circuit — transparent, touch-sensitive, and alive. From gentle edge-of-breakup to creamy saturation, it doesn’t shape your tone — it reveals it.
A true tonal canvas, now dressed in warmth that evolves with every touch.
From the Home of Tone collection, Cosmo drifts between worlds. This cat pedal is a psychedelic phaser that moves from subtle motion to full, immersive swirl.
“Always a little out of orbit”
Only one made. A hand-painted artifact of sound and observation. Inspired by a cat gazing beyond an open window, Cat au Fenêtre invites us into a quiet moment of curiosity, where the familiar interior meets a world of colour, possibility, and imagination beyond the frame.
Created in collaboration with Melbourne artist B.Lu Studio, this inaugural Série Atelier piece pairs original artwork with Tonecat's Max & Milo signature delay circuit, transforming fleeting notes into rich, expressive echoes. Blending storytelling, visual art, and sound design, Cat au Fenêtre is both a musical instrument and a collectible artifact—crafted to inspire reflection, exploration, and the moments that linger long after they have passed.
A deliciously tuned Klon style transparent overdrive pedal handcrafted for players with a taste for the finer things in tone. The Klonka-Bar has Blankslate Overdrive under the hood and is part of Tonecat’s Bon-Appetone Collection—a playful yet meticulously designed boutique series inspired by Klon pedal circuit warmth, chocolatey character, and vintage flavor.
Underneath its whimsical shell lies a Blankslate circuit - refined Klon-inspired circuit, carefully tuned for extra cream, smooth midrange bloom, and a more delicate, touch-responsive feel. Think golden-hour harmonics and that just-right push that melts into your amp rather than punching it.
