Cachalote Audio is a boutique guitar effects pedal builder based in Brasília, Brazil. The name comes from the Portuguese word for sperm whale, and the company hand-builds its pedals in small runs with an emphasis on original circuit designs and analog signal paths. Its lineup spans drives, fuzzes, modulation, delay and preamp effects, with releases like the Ushuaia Drive, Formiga overdrive, 214 Fuzz, Lilo Delay, Console Preamp and the 127 Sint. square-wave synth pedal.

The brand is known within the Brazilian pedal scene for compact enclosures, distinctive graphic design and a focus on dynamic, amp-like character in its overdrives. Cachalote sells direct through its own website and ships internationally via Reverb, which has helped build an audience outside Brazil despite its small-batch production model.
