Founded in 2016 by Brad Jackson, Nigel Hendroff, and Juan Kyle, Jackson Audio is a boutique guitar effects pedal company based in Keller, Texas. Brad Jackson and Juan Kyle brought amplifier design expertise from their work at Jackson Ampworks, while Hendroff — an acclaimed guitarist known for his work with Hillsong Church — contributed a player's perspective to the company's product development. That amplifier DNA runs through the Jackson Audio lineup, with pedals consistently described as sounding more like a great amp than a traditional stompbox.

Jackson Audio's catalog spans a wide range of effects, including the BLOOM compressor/EQ/boost, the Golden Boy transparent overdrive, the Asabi overdrive/distortion, the FUZZ modular fuzz, the PRISM buffer/boost/preamp, the Broken Arrow overdrive, the Belle Starr overdrive, and the New Wave analog chorus/vibrato, among others. Several pedals feature MIDI integration and modular functionality that set them apart from more conventional designs. The company also produces the 1484 Twin Twelve pedal, inspired by classic amplifier circuits.

Jackson Audio has developed signature collaborations with a number of professional guitarists. The Golden Boy overdrive was designed in partnership with Joey Landreth, the Optimist dual overdrive with Cory Wong, and the Belle Starr overdrive with Drew Shirley of Switchfoot. Other artists associated with the brand include Mark Lettieri and Mateus Asato. All Jackson Audio pedals are made in the USA.

Jackson Audio has 14 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Overdrive Effects Pedals, Boost Effects Pedals, and Compressor Effects Pedals. Their gear is featured by 17 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock, Folk, World, & Country, and Pop. Notable users include Mateus Asato, Cory Wong, and Chris Buck.
