Jext Telez is a boutique effects pedal company founded in 2013 and based in Detroit, Michigan, run by Bob Ebeling and Colin Simon. The brand is built around a deep obsession with vintage tone, specializing in handcrafted fuzz and overdrive pedals that draw heavily from classic germanium-era circuits and hard-to-find original units. Designs are developed with collaborators Al Sutton, Philip Durr, and Johnny LZR, and the company is known for sourcing NOS (new old stock) transistors and components to chase the character of original vintage pedals.

The Jext Telez catalog includes models such as the White Pedal (an homage to the onboard overdrive circuit of the solid-state Vox Conqueror amp), the Dizzy Tone (a recreation of the rare 1966–67 Elka Dizzy Tone fuzz), the Buzz Tone (a germanium distortion), the Uni-Drive (based on the 1970 Univox Uni-Drive), the Range Lord (high-gain overdrive), and the Jext Face (a germanium fuzz). The Canyon Climber is a signature collaboration with guitarist Jonathan Wilson, based on the Shin-Ei FY-2 Companion Fuzz and featuring redesigned circuitry with NOS transistors.

The brand has attracted a following among players drawn to authentic vintage fuzz sounds and low-run handmade production. Notable users include guitarist and producer Jonathan Wilson, producer Dave Cobb, Neil Fallon of Clutch, and members of the bands Angel Olsen, Heron Oblivion, and Father John Misty.

Jext TELEZ has 24 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Fuzz Effects Pedals, Overdrive Effects Pedals, and Boost Effects Pedals. Their gear is featured by 14 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock, Folk, World, & Country, and Pop. Notable users include Jake Kiszka, Paul Waaktaar-Savoy, and Jonathan Wilson. Most Jext TELEZ products sit firmly in the high-end, boutique range.
