Moire is a small, independent effects pedal maker based in Nakusp, British Columbia, Canada, founded and run by Jesse Herlitz. Each pedal is built by hand, one at a time, and the brand is recognized for its stark black-and-white industrial aesthetic and focus on aggressive, noise-oriented circuits aimed at guitarists and bassists seeking extreme textures.
The company's signature pedal is the Visceral, a sawtooth-wave synth fuzz whose Pulse control shifts the waveform from thin, spitting fizz to deep, growling rumble, with additional Mix and Volume controls. The design leans especially well into baritone and bass territory but functions on standard-tuned electric guitar. Moire has also released the Low Life Pedal, a variation tuned for down-tuned and baritone instruments that emphasizes low-end response in an octave distortion and boost format.
Herlitz, who came to pedal building without prior electronics experience, has discussed the brand's origins in interviews including on The High Gain podcast, describing Moire as an outlet for sounds he could not find in existing commercial pedals.
Moire has 1 product cataloged on Equipboard, including Multi Effects Pedals.
