Molten Voltage is a small electronics maker based in the Cascade volcanic range of Central Oregon, founded by an inventor named Bill whose work began around 2006 with a cell phone amplifier project that evolved into the TOGGLE guitar effect. The company built its reputation on MIDI controllers and modifications for popular guitar pedals, beginning with the Molten MIDI 2 — a controller designed to unlock the MIDI capabilities of the DigiTech Whammy 4 — which found its way onto the pedalboards of Radiohead and Vernon Reid, among others.

The product line spans rugged pedalboard MIDI devices, footswitches, MIDI clock generators, and effect mods aimed at integrating traditional analog and digital pedals with modern MIDI-based rigs. Notable releases include the G-Quencer, a sequencer-style controller for the DigiTech Whammy; MIDI Delaytion, which syncs the MXR Carbon Copy analog delay to MIDI clock and stores presets; and OSMOSIS, a MIDI mapper and filter. The brand also builds controllers and mods for pedals like the Strymon TimeLine.

Beyond finished pedals, Molten Voltage develops the PedalSync line of audio control chips and DIY kits, introduced in 2010, which let pedal builders and hobbyists add MIDI control, tap tempo, and preset features to their own designs. The company tends to occupy a niche corner of the effects world focused on programmability and integration rather than tone-shaping circuits.

Molten Voltage has 27 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Effects Pedal Accessories, MIDI Foot Controllers, and Switch Effects Pedals. Their gear is featured by 7 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock, Electronic, and Pop. Notable users include Ed O'Brien, Matthew Bellamy, and Steven Wilson.
