ABOUT


Bigfoot Engineering Ltd was founded in 2009 by British guitarist and inventor Rhys Stubbs.

Rhys, a life-long professional musician, is an EMI artist whose multi award-winning work has been heard on radio, television, studio and stage all over the world. Utilising his engineering background he created a unique range of electrical devices for all his musical endeavours, and local demand soon began to grow for his equipment owing to its uncompromising sonic integrity.

Rhys officially launched production of his guitar pedals under the Bigfoot pseudonym as the demand grew on a national scale. Thanks to the remarkable response from the industry press and a host of world renowned guitarists, the brand quickly established a fearsome reputation and a loyal following. Today Bigfoot guitar pedals can now be found under the feet of discerning musicians globally, each one faithfully hand-built in England at Bigfoot HQ.

Press

"Rhys Stubbs formed Bigfoot in 2009, after working as an audio designer for Britain's Vortexion- a studio-gear maker favoured by the late sonic iconoclast Joe Meek. Some of the Meek mystique must have rubbed off, because these vibey, English-made pedals are ferociously unafraid of making one hell of a magnificent racket." Guitar Player magazine
"If you thought it was all about Americans, Chinese and Germans, think again. British talent is still at the forefront of the musical instrument industry. The brainchild of ex-Vortexion designer Rhys Stubbs, Bigfoot Engineering hand build guitar pedals that capture the sonic integrity of valve amplifiers." Mi Pro magazine
"One of the most impressive dirtboxes ever to have come through the front door." Guitarist magazine
"If it doesn't sound right it must be your amp's fault." The Guitar Magazine
"These tones could be the pride of your 'board for some time to come." Total Guitar magazine
"Exceptionally dynamic and moldable." Premier Guitar
"You won't want to switch it off." Guitar & Bass magazine
