Rawkworks is a small-batch guitar pedal builder based in Covington, Louisiana, run by Mike Skinner, who designs, hand-wires, and assembles each stompbox to order. The operation grew out of one builder experimenting with fuzz tones and oscillators, and the catalog has stayed focused on overdrive and distortion circuits aimed at players who want boutique-grade tone without boutique pricing.
The lineup centers on a handful of overdrive flavors — the Light OD (a Klon-inspired transparent overdrive with internal DIP switches for alternate clipping), the Night OD, the Rawk OD, and a dedicated Klone modeled after the Klon Centaur. Each unit is hand-assembled from selected components and tested before shipping, with custom finishes occasionally offered alongside the standard graphics.
Most sales move through Reverb and the brand's Etsy shop rather than traditional retail, and Rawkworks has built a modest following among pedal hobbyists and Klon-clone enthusiasts on forums like The Gear Page.
Rawkworks has 2 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Overdrive Effects Pedals. Their gear is featured by 4 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock, Pop, and Electronic. Notable users include Taylor York, Justin Meldal-Johnsen, and Joey Howard.
