Its product line included the Big Cheese fuzz, the Meatball envelope filter, the Doppelganger dual-oscillator phaser/vibrato, the Wobulator dual-LFO stereo tremolo, the Ring Stinger ring modulator, the Flange With No Name flanger, the Cheese Source, and the Brown Source. Original units were produced in limited quantities and have since become sought-after on the used market, where they often command high prices among pedal collectors and studio engineers.

The brand's reputation rests on the combination of expressive, unconventional signal processing and their distinctive chunky enclosures with quirky graphics.
