PiggyFX is a boutique guitar effects pedal company based in Israel, founded by Danny Aberjel (also known as Danny Jel). The operation began after Aberjel's frustration with off-the-shelf pedals led him to teach himself how to modify them, eventually moving on to designing and hand-building his own circuits. The brand is known for small-batch, hand-built pedals with pig-themed names and a boutique following on the used market.

The PiggyFX lineup centers on gain-based effects, including the Brown Pig distortion, the Black Pig high-gain distortion with a three-band active EQ, the Schweinefleisch fuzz (including an MKII revision), the FlashDrive overdrive, and the AstroPig. The company also takes on custom PCB and pedal design work, clones, mods, and repair work for guitar and bass players.

Aberjel later partnered with guitarist Shian Hirsch to launch Shianz Gear, a separate brand offering pedals and guitar gear. PiggyFX pedals are frequently traded on Reverb and other used-gear platforms, where many of the older models are considered rare.

PiggyFX has 5 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Fuzz Effects Pedals, Overdrive Effects Pedals, and Reverb Effects Pedals. Their gear is featured by 3 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock, Electronic, and Hip Hop. Notable users include Alain Johannes, Jan Paternoster, and Nir Blum.
