Snazzy FX is a New York–based experimental electronics company founded by Dan Snazelle, a musician, producer, and audio engineer who began designing his own circuits after years of studio work. The brand launched around 2009 with a small line of unconventional guitar effects pedals before expanding into Eurorack synthesizer modules, releasing its first module — the Dreamboat — in September 2011. Operating under the tagline "Travel At Your Own Peril," Snazzy FX is known for its psychedelic graphic design and circuits that lean into chaos, self-generative behavior, and what Snazelle has described as "beautiful malfunctions."

On the Eurorack side, the company is best known for the Ardcore, an Arduino-based programmable module with multiple sequencer and utility modes, along with modules like Tidal Waves, Telephone Game (a bucket-brigade pitch sequencer), Dronebank, and Eternal Spring. Its pedal catalog is anchored by cult favorites such as the Mini-Ark, Tracer City, and Wow and Flutter — guitar synth and tracking pedals that range from envelope-driven filter sweeps to full synthesized tones. Latvian manufacturer Erica Synths reissued several of those pedals under the Snazzy LV banner, bringing the designs back into wider production.

Snazzy FX occupies a niche at the intersection of guitar effects and modular synthesis, favoring quirky, performance-oriented designs over polished utility modules. The brand has a small but devoted following among modular enthusiasts and experimental musicians drawn to its unpredictable, hands-on circuits.

Snazzy FX has 9 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Modular Synthesizers, Delay Effects Pedals, and Guitar Synth Pedals. Their gear is featured by 7 artists, with the strongest followings in Electronic, Rock, and Blues. Notable users include Paul Birken, Steve Onotera, and samuraiguitarist.
