The GigRig is a British guitar effects switching and power supply company based in Royal Wootton Bassett, Wiltshire, founded by Daniel Steinhardt. The company created the Pro-14, the world's first commercially available programmable true bypass pedalboard switching system, and holds the patent for the technology. What began as Steinhardt's personal quest for a pedal-based alternative to expensive rack switching systems — developed alongside business partner Dave Mapleston — has grown into one of the most respected names in professional pedalboard infrastructure.

The GigRig's product line centers on three categories: switching systems (the G3, G3S, G3 Atom, and Quartermaster series), modular power supplies (the Generator, GenX14, and GenX8), and custom pedalboards and accessories. Their switching systems are designed and hand-built in the UK, emphasizing transparent audio quality and intuitive programming. The flagship G3 offers comprehensive signal routing, MIDI control, and preset management for complex pedalboard setups.

The brand's artist roster includes David Gilmour, Ed O'Brien (Radiohead), John Frusciante (Red Hot Chili Peppers), Chris Shiflett and Pat Smear (Foo Fighters), Noel Gallagher, Steve Lukather (Toto), Guthrie Govan, Devin Townsend, Steven Wilson, Simon Neil (Biffy Clyro), Reeves Gabrels (The Cure), Simon McBride (Deep Purple), Al Di Meola, Robben Ford, Kate Bush, Sam Fender, James Bay, and Mike Kerr (Royal Blood), among many others. Steinhardt also co-hosts That Pedal Show, a widely followed weekly YouTube series about guitar effects and tone, alongside Mick Taylor.

The GigRig has 36 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Switch Effects Pedals, Effects Pedal Accessories, and MIDI Foot Controllers. Their gear is featured by 102 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock, Pop, and Folk, World, & Country. Notable users include Ed O'Brien, Daniel Steinhardt, and Chris Buck.
