Finally — an overdrive and distortion pedal built for players who crave clarity, feel, and dynamic response.
Breaking up is hard to do,
but we do it better
Sweet Clarity. Honest Breakup. Pure Tone.
Built for players who live for that edge-of-clean feel, Sweet Breakup captures the sweet spot where clarity meets grit
Our new Sweet Breakup pedal embodies everything we believe in: innovative, patent-backed circuitry that captures the touch and tone of a great tube amp pushed just right. It captures the dance between clean and overdrive that guitarists love. Play softly and it blooms with clean chime; dig in, and it responds with harmonically rich overdrive that never muddies your tone.
With a lower noise floor and a massive dynamic range, Sweet Breakup maintains clarity even in full saturation — translating every nuance of your picking into tone that feels alive beneath your fingers. Balanced circuitry gives clarity just like a push-pull amp when the tubes are perfectly matched. All of this together means, it’s expressive, musical, and built to respond to you. The clarity holds even with extreme settings for distortion.
Designed by a guitarist for guitarists, our pedals are for those who don’t settle for generic distortion.
If you value touch sensitivity, transparency, and tone that inspires — you owe it to yourself to experience gizmoaudio.
Innovation with Soul. Engineering with Feel.
At gizmoaudio, we don’t build clones — we build something new. Our mission is to create original designs that capture the heart of great tone while pushing the boundaries of what a guitar pedal can do.
Our focus begins with clarity and touch sensitivity — traits that set our pedals apart from the typical distortion crowd. By engineering overdrive and distortion circuits that maintain musical detail, even under heavy gain, we give players the freedom to explore everything from crystalline cleans to harmonically rich breakup — just by changing their touch.
