RPS Effects is a boutique pedal manufacturer based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, founded by Ryan Sarver. Though Sarver has been building pedals since 2009, RPS Effects officially launched in 2018 with a lineup of original, hand-built designs. The company emphasizes rigorous engineering and premium components, with each pedal undergoing temperature testing for reliability. RPS Effects maintains authorized dealers in the United Kingdom, Japan, and Australia.
The RPS Effects lineup spans a range of creative and utilitarian effects. Their flagship pedal, the Arcade Machine, is a PLL-based analog synthesizer and harmonizer that re-synthesizes an instrument's signal as a square wave, offering six voices across multiple octaves and a selectable interval from the full 12-tone scale — a feature RPS claims is unique among analog harmonizers. It also supports expression pedal and control voltage input for interval selection, as well as programmable note sequences. The rest of the lineup includes the Bit Reactor downsampler and bit crusher, the Red Sun distortion and fuzz, the Warp Drive analog delay, the Tremulus Maximus tremolo and amplitude modulator, and the Vitamin C clean boost.
RPS Effects has 1 product cataloged on Equipboard, including Guitar Synth Pedals.
