A Hidden Power Knob Inside Your Guitar Pedal
Using The Brownout® is like turning an invisible power knob hidden inside your guitar pedal.
Turning the invisible power knob will drop down your guitar pedal's power from full-power to low, low, low power. This can radically change the sound of your guitar pedal - we call this the dying battery sound.


Dying Battery Sound?
Have you heard it yet? The dying battery sound changes from one guitar pedal to the next! Some guitar pedals give you swooning pitch shifting effects, or pulsing envelopes. Other pedals let you dial in the perfect fuzz tone, or create unexpected noises and wild, musical effects that give your music an edge.
Hands-Free Power Control
It's not an old-school voltage sag knob. With The Brownout®, you don't twist a knob with your hand. Now you can play with BOTH HANDS! Just move any part of your body to adjust the dying battery sound.
That's right, it works like dancing The Hokey Pokey. So while you play your guitar or keyboard with BOTH HANDS, you wiggle your available knee/elbow/foot/head/whole-self by the adjustable metal plate to dynamically control the dying battery sound. That's what it's all about!


Make Your Pedal An Analog Synth
But wait, there's more! When your guitar pedal is powered by The Brownout®, you can plug a standard USB MIDI controller into the USB port on The Brownout®, and your guitar pedal transforms into a playable analog synthesizer!
You'll be floored by the thick synth tones coming out of your guitar pedal! In fact, each pedal in your collection will generate a unique and signature synth tone that you can change with your body movement!
Works With Standard Guitar Pedals
Simply connect the POWER OUT on The Brownout® to the POWER IN on your 9V center-negative guitar pedal.
You can even create customized power presets for each guitar pedal in your collection! Find the low-power sweet spot for each guitar pedal and easily recall the same setting later.


Insane noises, Insane inspiration
The dying battery sound isn't just about recreating old tones - it's about discovering new ones. Each pedal in your collection will reveal unique, unexpected sounds when powered by The Brownout®.
From subtle texture changes to wild, unpredictable effects, you'll find inspiration in the unexpected. Push your pedals beyond their intended limits and unlock a world of sonic possibilities.
