Colortone is an Australian builder of handcrafted analog guitar and vocal effects pedals based in Sydney. Founded by Adrian "AD" Hauser, a longtime film colorist who spent decades grading music videos and feature films before turning his attention back to electronics, the company began releasing pedals under the Colortone name in 2019. Pedals are assembled in small batches with an emphasis on traditional hand-built construction.
The brand is visually distinctive, with deep-etched, resin-filled geometric faceplates and custom-designed Cog Series knobs paired with optional black silicone HeadLiner caps. The lineup spans overdrive, fuzz, delay, reverb, tremolo, and vocal effects, including the Parasite Overdrive, Fuzzball fuzz, Lo-Fi Delay, ZeroSum delay, Spring Reverb, VibroVerb, Optical Tremolo, Roundhouse Tremolo, and the Preacher vocal pedal.
Colortone emphasizes sustainability in its manufacturing, using regenerative etching processes and plastic-free packaging partners. The pedals have developed a following among boutique effects enthusiasts and have been demoed by a range of YouTube pedal reviewers.
Colortone has 7 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Reverb Effects Pedals, Overdrive Effects Pedals, and Tremolo Effects Pedals.
