NativeAudio is a Native American-owned effect pedal company based in Dayton, Ohio, founded by Mike Trombley, an enrolled member of the Blackfeet Nation (Amsskaapipiikuni). Trombley, who holds bachelor's and master's degrees in electrical engineering, began building pedals as a hobby during college, sharing them with musicians in the local Dayton scene. His earlier venture, Red House Electronics, produced pedals like the Mint Drive Overdrive and Heat Wave Tremolo. After recognizing that his product names and artwork naturally reflected his Blackfeet heritage, he rebranded the company as NativeAudio to more intentionally celebrate that connection.

NativeAudio's lineup spans overdrive, fuzz, delay, reverb, tremolo, phaser, and chorus/vibrato pedals, all handcrafted in small batches. The Ghost Ridge multi-reverb is the brand's best-seller, packing multiple presets into a streamlined two-knob, two-switch format. Other notable pedals include the Rising Sun tremolo, Midnight phaser, Two Medicine delay, Kiaayo overdrive, and Frybread Fuzz. Several models, like the Rising Sun and Midnight, feature dual effect configurations in a single compact enclosure with a tap/ramp function. All artwork is created by Ohio-based artist Alex Scalgia, and each pedal incorporates stories and imagery rooted in Blackfeet culture, giving the line a distinctive minimalist aesthetic that sets it apart from typical boutique pedal branding.

NativeAudio has 12 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Reverb Effects Pedals, Tremolo Effects Pedals, and Overdrive Effects Pedals. Their gear is featured by 4 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock, Metal, and Pop. Notable users include Dylan Carlson, Billy Strings, and Lila Ramani.
