Cusack Music is a family-run effects pedal company founded in 2002 by engineer Jon Cusack in Holland, Michigan. What began as a garage side project grew into a full-scale pedal manufacturing operation, building effects both under its own name and as a contract manufacturer for other boutique pedal brands in the industry. The company is built around a "no hype" design philosophy, centering development on solid engineering principles rather than novelty or marketing trends.
The Cusack lineup spans drive, fuzz, modulation, delay, reverb, and utility categories. The Tap-a-Whirl — billed as the world's first tap-tempo tremolo — is one of their signature designs, offering a fully analog circuit with 24 selectable waveforms. Other notable pedals include the Screamer overdrive, the Project 34 pre/drive built around a vintage selenium rectifier, the Rebound multi-program delay, and utility-focused designs like the Pedal Cracker v2, which allows microphones to run through standard stompbox effects. The company also manufactures the Screamer Fuzz, Delay TME, and Tremolo AME, among others.
In 2015, Cusack Music acquired Mojo Hand FX, a boutique pedal brand previously owned by Brad Fee. The two lines operate under distinct philosophies: Cusack Music takes a ground-up engineering approach to circuit design, while Mojo Hand FX centers on improving classic vintage designs. Both brands are manufactured at the Cusack facility in Holland, Michigan, where the company also supports The Park Theatre, a local non-profit music venue.
Cusack Music has 53 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Fuzz Effects Pedals, Overdrive Effects Pedals, and Delay Effects Pedals. Their gear is featured by 38 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock, Pop, and Folk, World, & Country. Notable users include Seth Morrison, Mark Lee, and Teppei Teranishi. Most Cusack Music products fall in the mid-tier range — professional-grade without flagship pricing.
