Artec (also known as Artec Sound or Artecsound) is a South Korean manufacturer of guitar electronics based in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province. The company produces a broad catalog of instrument accessories, including magnetic pickups for electric guitar and bass, piezo transducer systems, soundhole pickups for acoustic six- and twelve-string guitars, onboard acoustic preamps with EQ and tuner functions, and a line of analog effect pedals.
The brand is widely used by guitar manufacturers as an OEM supplier, and its preamp systems — such as the Edge-Z and SHP-5 — appear as factory-installed electronics in a range of budget to mid-tier acoustic instruments. Artec's effect pedal lineup covers common categories like overdrive, distortion, chorus, delay, and compression, and is frequently discussed on forums such as The Gear Page and TalkBass as affordable alternatives to higher-priced boutique units.
The company has a strong presence in the DIY and guitar-building community, supplying individual components like potentiometers, switches, and multi-band EQ circuits to luthiers and hobbyists through resellers including Thomann and Reverb.
Artec has 31 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Electric Guitar Pickups, Effects Pedal Accessories, and Equalizer Effects Pedals. Their gear is featured by 9 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock, Funk / Soul, and Pop. Notable users include Isaac Wood, Luke Mark, and Richard Hawley.
