Mid-Fi Electronics is a boutique guitar effects company run by Doug Tuttle, who hand-builds every pedal from his home in the Boston area. Tuttle, also known as a psychedelic pop recording artist and former member of the band MMOSS, started the operation in the 2000s with a focus on quirky, lo-fi, and often unpredictable circuits rather than polished mainstream effects.

The lineup leans heavily into experimental textures — broken-tape modulation, glitchy pitch artifacts, and gnarly fuzz. Notable pedals include the Glitch Computer, Random Number Generator, Pitch Pirate, Demo Tape Fuzz, Clari(not), Random Vibrato, and Magick "i." Each unit is wired point-to-point, runs on 9V DC, and uses true-bypass switching, with enclosures typically painted, stamped, or stickered by hand.

The brand has developed a cult following among players drawn to unconventional sounds and warbly, decaying textures, and Tuttle's pedals turn up regularly in psych, indie, and experimental circles.

Mid-Fi Electronics has 14 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Fuzz Effects Pedals, Multi Effects Pedals, and Vibrato Effects Pedals. Their gear is featured by 10 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock, Electronic, and Jazz. Notable users include Merzbow, Jona Weinhofen, and Yusuke (Lynch).
