About us
Tensive Effects was built around a refusal to accept compromise.
We don't think players should have to choose between flexibility and feel. Between control and character. Between "good enough" and "what you actually hear in your head."
Tensive Effects exists to build tools that don’t dictate your tone, but empower you to own your sound. Our completely original circuits don't chase an existing sound or clone a classic, but let guitarists shape their own voice.

Our approach is grounded by four principles:
Inspiring sound, responsiveness and flexibility
We design to inspire you to pick up your guitar and create, and not fight against the tools that are meant to help you.
Analog depth with modern control
Made to fit in with your workflow, our designs offer detailed tonal control without distractions or menus.
Longevity over novelty
We don't chase trends. We create to last, on your board and in your sound. Not just something that impresses on day one, but something you’ll still want to plug in years from now.
Built for the long haul
Our pedals are crafted for everyday use: tough, reliable, and built to stay with you.
Tensive Effects is based in Australia, and everything we make reflects the belief that gear shouldn't be the limitation—it should be the starting point.
