Founded in 2013 by record producer Joey Sturgis, Joey Sturgis Tones is an audio software company based in Connersville, Indiana that develops plugins and tools for music production. Sturgis made his name producing and mixing records for metalcore and post-hardcore acts including Asking Alexandria, The Devil Wears Prada, Of Mice & Men, We Came As Romans, and I See Stars, earning an RIAA Gold-certified single along the way. He channeled that studio expertise into a line of plugins designed to streamline in-the-box workflows for producers across genres.

The company's flagship product line is Toneforge, a series of virtual guitar rig plugins developed in collaboration with prominent guitarists — including signature models for Jason Richardson, Ben Bruce of Asking Alexandria, Jeff Loomis, and Misha Mansoor of Periphery. Complementing Toneforge is the Bassforge line of bass tone plugins, including Bassforge Hellraiser and Bassforge Bonecrusher. Beyond amp modeling, JST offers a broad catalog of mixing and mastering tools such as Gain Reduction Deluxe (a vocal compressor/EQ/saturation chain), JST Clip (a peak clipper for mixing and mastering), JST Maximizer (an all-in-one mastering plugin), the Bus Glue series of mix bus processors, and JST Sky Box reverb. The company also produces the Gemini Twin Synth, sample packs, impulse responses, and artist collaboration bundles with producers like Andrew Wade, Howard Benson, and Billy Decker.

JST has 20 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Amp Simulator Plugins, Distortion Plugins, and Bit Crusher Plugins. Their gear is featured by 19 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock, Metal, and Electronic. Notable users include Joey Sturgis, Ariel Bellvalaire, and Sophie Burrell.
