THE T.X PEDALS STORY

Hello, everyone!

It started at a workbench, with one simple goal: build pedals I’d genuinely want to play.

My name is Ricardo (Rikk) and I’m the founder, circuit designer, mechanical and electronic technician, accountant, marketing director, social media manager and above all workshop mop-and-bucket cleaner at Tone.electroniX (T.X Pedals).

Tone is personal. It’s part of your identity as a player, and it shapes how you write, perform, and connect with the music. That’s why we build pedals with care, chasing the details that make an idea feel real the moment you hit a chord.

Interestingly, the following years the pandemic hitted, and during that time I managed to sell a few Animalizzer – when I say a few, I mean a couple of units a month – I guess the limitations imposed by the pandemic caused a “jump” in sales of musical instruments and related equipment worldwide during that time. I was thrilled with the excellent feedback my friends and customers gave to the Animalizzer. My family has also been very supportive, which has given me even more strength and commitment to keep working, improving and standing up for the brand – especially my daughter, Constança, who is always willing to help!

“Why would you start ‘another’ pedal company?” – you may ask.

Well, maybe one of my creations could bring a happy devilish grin on just ONE face when a chord is hit, and that’s enough reason.

Made by humans,
for humans

We are small, but proud of ourselves. T.X Pedals is not just a “logo”, it has human faces, persons behind it thriving to create, share those creations and hopefully bring some joy and inspiration to you!

I wish you all the Best!

Our Mission

Studying, designing circuits and pedals to perfection, inspiring ideas and making musical creativity real.

That’s the work behind every T.X Pedals build: careful listening, deliberate choices, and constant refinement until the response feels natural and the sound does what it should in a real rig.

Each pedal is made to turn inspiration into something you can play, record, and shape with confidence. Small-batch, handmade in Portugal, and focused on usable range over gimmicks, T.X Pedals gives you tools that invite experimentation and reward you with tone that stays clear, expressive, and unmistakably yours.

OUR GOAL

To bring you a BIG grinny face everytime you turn on our pedals.
