PedalWorx is a small US-based boutique effects company founded by George Blekas, building hand-wired guitar pedals one unit at a time. The brand name was coined by Don Rusk, combining "pedal" with the German-engineering-styled "Worx" — the trailing capital X is a nod to the company's first dealer, MusicToyZ.

PedalWorx is a small US-based boutique effects company founded by George Blekas, building hand-wired guitar pedals one unit at a time. The brand name was coined by Don Rusk, combining "pedal" with the German-engineering-styled "Worx" — the trailing capital X is a nod to the company's first dealer, MusicToyZ. Pedals are built and tuned by ear, often using hard-to-find vintage components.

The company is best known for the Texas Two Step overdrive/boost and the McFuzz, a fuzz circuit tuned by builder Bob McBroom to work equally well with both Fender and Marshall amps. Other models include the McSqueeze, an Orange Squeezer-style compressor closely related to the Tonefactor Squeeze Factor that McBroom also built. Alongside its own circuits, PedalWorx has long offered refurbishment of vintage wahs, with an emphasis on preserving original parts rather than modifying the underlying gear.

PedalWorx pedals have been sold through dealers including MusicToyZ, Guitar Center, Musician's Friend, and Reverb, and the brand has a presence in the boutique pedal community via forums such as The Gear Page and the Telecaster Discussion Page.

PedalWorx has 2 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Fuzz Effects Pedals and Overdrive Effects Pedals.
