Schu-Tone is a small-batch effects pedal builder founded by Dan Schumaker, who built his first pedal — a Red Llama clone — in spring 2010 and turned the hobby into a brand. The company specializes in hand-built guitar pedals, with a particular focus on packing classic and original circuits into compact mini enclosures, alongside custom one-off builds for players with specific tonal requests.

The Schu-Tone catalog spans a wide range of dirt and modulation. Overdrives include the Anubis, Hack Overdrive, Caesar, Calabrun, Grinnell, and Holyoke; distortion and fuzz options include the Black Moon (a distortion that can blend in an upper-octave signal), the Black Widow Fuzz (a take on a modified Tone Bender MKII), the Doomsday Device Distortion, and the Bitter End Octavia. The lineup also covers modulation and time-based effects such as the Birdman Tremolo, the Exterminator chorus/vibrato, the Kairos delay, the Whirlpool Reverb, and the Swine treble booster.

Schu-Tone has built a presence in the boutique pedal community through hand-wired construction, smaller-than-standard enclosures, and a willingness to take on custom work — for example, combining Slow Gear–style, Germanium Fuzz Face, SHO-style boost, and Green Ringer–style octave circuits into a single 125B-size box.

Schu-Tone has 2 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Chorus Effects Pedals and Reverb Effects Pedals.
