Mahoney Guitar Gear is a US-based effects pedal maker founded by Chris Mahoney, specializing in fuzz circuits rooted in 1960s designs. The company is best known for the Buzz Tone, a recreation of the Jordan Boss Tone fuzz built around the original PNP-NPN circuit, offered in both a vintage-style plug-in plastic housing and a modern stompbox enclosure. Mahoney acquired the Jordan name and circuit heritage, positioning the Buzz Tone as an officially lineal continuation of the 1960s unit rather than a third-party clone.

The lineup also includes the Acid Tone, a take on the Mosrite FUZZrite; the Dallas; the Vico Vibe; and the Spirit in The Sky Fuzz, a low-voltage-biased fuzz inspired by the Boss Tone circuit Norman Greenbaum used on the 1969 hit. Mahoney has also released plugin versions of its hardware, including a Buzz Tone plugin. The brand's focus sits squarely in the boutique fuzz and vintage-reissue niche, catering to players chasing garage-rock, psych, and lo-fi tones.

Mahoney has 6 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Fuzz Effects Pedals.
