Explore the pedals.
A full set of original effects, each with its own character. Load up to five into a chain, reorder them and combine them into something new.
5 pedals
≠ 5 effects
Many of the pedals combine several processing stages. With the right combination, a five-pedal chain can bring together more than ten effects working as one system.
Build it. Generate it. Break it.
Four ways to experiment with the same set of pedals until something unexpected happens.
Build your chain
Combine up to five pedals and arrange the signal path in any order.
Generate from words
Describe a sound in plain words and let the offline engine build a matching chain.
Controlled randomness
Roll new pedal combinations, or keep the chain and randomise only its parameters.
Modulate every pedal
Two LFOs per pedal add synced or free-running movement to individual controls.
Offline Prompt Engine
Type what you want to hear. Pedal Lab reads recognised sound, effect and character words and builds a matching pedal chain. It runs on your system and is never sent to a cloud service.
Two LFOs on every pedal
Shape waveform, rate, depth, polarity and phase. Run modulation freely, lock it to tempo, or blend both LFOs together with Fusion for movement at every stage of the chain.
Start from 250+ presets
Browse factory and producer presets from one place, or save your own complete chains. Every pedal, parameter and modulation assignment is stored together and ready to recall.
Plus 400+ bonus presets: a dedicated set for every individual pedal, and combinations built only from pedals within the same series.

Are the pedals based on existing products?
They are inspired by classic and experimental gear, but they are not emulations or 1:1 copies of existing devices. Every pedal was developed with its own design, character and identity, based on HZE Audio's own vision. None of these products are affiliated with, endorsed by, or should be associated with any hardware products or brands from other companies.
