Audio Simplified is a boutique pro audio company founded by Jim Mikles, a veteran audio engineer with over 30 years of experience spanning post-production for television and radio, surround mixing, and music production. Based in Woodstock, Maryland, the company focuses on solving the challenge of integrating guitar pedal effects into professional studio workflows — bridging the gap between instrument-level stompboxes and line-level mixing consoles or DAWs.

The company's flagship product is the Pedal Pusher, a rack-mount unit featuring two independent mono send/return loops with balanced XLR I/O, impedance and level matching, selectable active/passive pickup simulation, and six isolated power supplies with selectable voltages (9V, 12V, 18V, 24V). An optional Dante module enables network audio connectivity at sample rates up to 96kHz. The more compact Pedal Pusher Mini offers the same signal-path features without the onboard power supplies, aimed at users who already have external pedal power solutions. Audio Simplified has since been acquired by Wolff Audio, a pro audio manufacturer based in Goleta, California, which continues the Pedal Pusher line.
