Louder Than Liftoff is a pro audio manufacturer based in Silicon Valley, California, founded by Brad McGowan. The company designs and assembles analog and digital studio tools, with a focus on outboard gear for tracking, mixing, and mastering rather than guitar effects.

The product line centers on the Silver Bullet mk2, a stereo tone amp/saturation box that serves as the brand's flagship, and the Chroma+ channel strip and bus processor, which features switchable American and British tonalities, a Baxandall EQ, and a DI with Retro Mode. The company also produces 500 Series modules (including the Hitmaker 4000), Colour/Mojo expansion modules, discrete op amps for component-level upgrades, and a multi-channel Chroma X console. Software versions of several hardware units are distributed through Plugin Alliance.

The brand positions itself around a 'sight, sound, and tactile experience' design philosophy, emphasizing hands-on controls and analog signal paths alongside digital counterparts. Their gear has found a following among home-studio engineers and boutique-gear enthusiasts on forums like Gearspace and The Gear Page.

Louder Than Liftoff has 3 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Effects Processors and Multi-Effect Plugins.
