SoundLad Liverpool is a UK-based builder of hand-assembled guitar and bass effects pedals founded by Marc Dunn and operated out of Liverpool, England. The company has built its reputation on affordable, boutique-style stompboxes, with most of its lineup priced at accessible points for a small-batch UK maker.
The brand's signature product is the Hungry Beaver, a voltage-starved fuzz/boost that draws on Big Muff territory without being a straight clone — it pairs two distinct gain circuits ('Gravy', inspired by a 1973 Violet Ram's Head, and 'Meat', based on the NYC 2000 Muff) to cover a wide range of fuzz and sustain tones. Alongside it sits the Scran overdrive, the Clean Machine preamp, the Sketchy, the Private Beaver fuzz, and the Belter Skelter, a bass overdrive voiced to evoke John Lennon's bass tone on the Beatles' White Album.
Marc Dunn is also known in the boutique pedal community for his involvement in the development of the 1991 overdrive alongside Andrew Ilgunas of Funny Little Boxes, which has contributed to SoundLad Liverpool's standing among players who follow small UK pedal builders.
