JangleBox is a Reston, Virginia-based effects pedal company founded in 2004 by Steve Lasko. The brand is built almost entirely around compression, with circuits voiced to capture the chime, sustain and treble-forward sparkle associated with 1960s jangle — the sound of bands like The Byrds and The Beatles — as well as later Americana and roots-leaning guitar work.

The original JangleBox compressor put the company on the map after picking up an Editor's Pick award from Guitar Player magazine, and the lineup has expanded around that core idea. Models include the JangleBox and Byrds 50th LE (which share the same circuit and offer Dark, Normal and Treble Boost voicings), the smaller pedalboard-friendly JB Nano with a footswitchable treble boost, the dual-channel JB3, the Acousticomp tuned for acoustic players, and utility pedals like the J-Boost and J-Gate.

The pedals have been endorsed by a number of guitarists associated with jangly, chime-driven playing, including Roger McGuinn of The Byrds, Heartbreakers guitarist Mike Campbell, Marshall Crenshaw, R.E.M.'s Peter Buck, The Cars' Elliott Easton, Billy Sheehan and Buddy Miller.

JangleBox has 4 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Compressor Effects Pedals, Noise Gate Effects Pedals, and Boost Effects Pedals. Their gear is featured by 2 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock. Notable users include J Mascis and Cathal Roper (The Murder Capital).
