Pete Cornish is a British designer and builder of guitar effects pedals and custom pedalboard systems, based in the United Kingdom. Widely credited as a pioneer of the modern integrated pedalboard, Cornish began by constructing elaborate switching rigs for touring professionals before developing his own line of hand-built effects. Each unit is built to order in the UK by Pete, Lynda and Mingus Cornish, with orders taken exclusively by email.
The brand is best known for its Grey Series of overdrive, distortion, fuzz and boost pedals, including the G-2 (a four-stage discrete transistor Class A overdrive with germanium components aimed at classic British rock tones), the SS-3 soft-clipping overdrive, the TB-83 Treble Booster, the NG-3 variable-bias silicon fuzz, and the P-2 boost. Cornish also offers Battery Free versions of several designs and a range of high-end cables, alongside bespoke pedalboard and rack systems.
Cornish's work has been associated with a long list of well-known players, including David Gilmour, Pete Townshend, Brian May, Mark Knopfler, Paul McCartney, Tony Iommi, Lou Reed, Andy Summers and Noel Gallagher. His pedals are sought after for their durable construction, true-bypass buffering and a voicing pitched toward classic rock and arena-level tones.
