TWA (Totally Wycked Audio) is a boutique effects pedal brand based in Clifton, New Jersey, operating as a division of Godlyke, Inc. Founded by musicians Kevin Bolembach and George Schwab, Godlyke launched the TWA line in 2009 to design and manufacture high-quality analog effects for guitar, bass, and synth players. All TWA hand-built pedals are made in the USA.
TWA is perhaps best known for its collaboration with Susumu Tamura, the Japanese electronics engineer who designed the original Ibanez TS808 Tube Screamer circuit in 1979. Tamura designed the TWA SC-01 Source Code, a next-generation soft-clip overdrive featuring an innovative "Bite" control and internal 18V voltage regulation, as well as signature pedals for artists Scott Henderson (the SH9 Signature Distortion) and Roy Z (the Chemical Z Dual Channel Overdrive). Beyond overdrives, TWA's lineup includes the DM-02 Dynamorph envelope-controlled harmonic generator, the WR-3 Wah Rocker envelope filter (a resurrection of the Guyatone WR3 circuit), the TK-01 Triskelion harmonic energizer, the GD-02 Great Divide analog synth octaver, and the KM-01 Krytical Mass Reactive Octave Fuzz. The Fly Boys line offers ultra-compact mini pedals at more accessible price points.
TWA pedals are used by artists including Dave Mustaine of Megadeth, Dweezil Zappa, Phil Caivano of Monster Magnet, Juan Alderete of Racer X and the Mars Volta, and Stuart Ziff of WAR.
TWA has 25 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Overdrive Effects Pedals, Filter Effects Pedals, and Distortion Effects Pedals. Their gear is featured by 13 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock, Electronic, and Metal. Notable users include Dweezil Zappa, Dave Mustaine, and Sammy Duet. TWA's catalog spans the full price spectrum — from entry-level options to high-end flagships.
