Adventure Audio is a boutique effects pedal company based in Rochester, New York, founded by Christian Terjesen in 2014. Terjesen started building pedals after cracking open one of his own effects units and realizing he could build his own, beginning with a Tube Screamer clone. All Adventure Audio stompboxes are individually hand-crafted in-house, with the company championing both the reinvention of classic effects and the creation of entirely new ones.
The lineup spans a wide range of effect types, from the Glacial Zenith II overdrive-and-boost combo and the Juniper analog overdrive to more experimental offerings like the Dream Reaper fuzz modulation machine, the Outer Rings ring modulator, and the Whateverb reverb. Other notable pedals include the Power Couple dual boost, the Lunge digital octave chorus, the Again modulating delay, the Fuzz Peaks, and the Mother Tongue. A distinguishing feature of Adventure Audio's designs is the implementation of CV (control voltage) jacks, allowing players to link multiple pedals so that one effect's parameters can influence another — for example, using a delay's clock to trigger changes in a separate effect, or having a signal's envelope inversely control the amount of distortion.
Before founding Adventure Audio, Terjesen contributed to the pedal world by helping build the Chase Bliss Wombtone MKI Analog Phaser. His work earned him a reputation as a notable figure in the boutique pedal community.
