Fuchs Audio Technology is a Clifton, New Jersey-based manufacturer of handcrafted tube guitar amplifiers, speaker cabinets, and effects pedals. Founded in 1999 by Andy Fuchs — a Queens, NY native who grew up tinkering with electronics in his parents' music store before becoming a working musician and amp repair specialist — the company built its reputation on the Overdrive Supreme (ODS), a boutique amp platform inspired by the legendary Dumble Overdrive Special. The ODS has been in continuous production since the company's founding and has evolved into several variants, including the ODS Classic and ODS-II series.

The product lineup spans a wide range of wattages and voicings. The Mantis 89 series covers classic British and modern high-gain territory in 4, 20, 50, and 100-watt configurations. The Clean Machine II caters to jazz players, acoustic guitarists, and those running pedal-heavy or modeler-based rigs. Fuchs also produces bass amplifiers in both tube (FBT series) and solid-state (FBS series) formats, and markets a line of effects pedals under the Plush brand name.

Fuchs amplifiers have found their way onto stages and into studios through a roster of high-profile players including Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Carlos Santana, Derek Trucks, Joe Bonamassa, Warren Haynes, Dweezil Zappa, Nils Lofgren, Al Di Meola, Rick Nielsen, and Buckethead, among many others.

Fuchs has 26 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Guitar Amplifier Heads, Combo Guitar Amplifiers, and Overdrive Effects Pedals. Their gear is featured by 19 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock, Funk / Soul, and Blues. Notable users include Jake Cinninger, Rick Nielsen, and Joe Bonamassa.
