About

MXNHLT Effects is run by Max Anhalt in Goleta, California. I built my first guitar pedal back in 2016, which inspired my love for audio electronics and led me to earn a degree in Electrical Engineering. Starting in 2022, I began taking pedal building seriously, studying and auditioning a wide variety of circuits, searching for hidden gems and interesting ideas, and adding new features to my favorite designs.

The aim of this brand is to provide musicians with tools to find their own unique sound by bringing attention and updates to underrated pedals, creating new original circuits, and collaborating with players on custom designs. Hope you enjoy!
