The range covers most of the pedalboard: flangers such as the Dynaflanger Model 213, delays including the Rewind and Radical Delay II+, the Space Force, the Velvet Noise, the Hot Pink Drive, the Litho Boost, the Wavelength modulation pedal, and the Syntax Error34567.
The story: a North Carolina pedal maker
Alexander Pedals is a for-profit company registered as an LLC in the state of North Carolina, building hand-crafted effects pedals in Garner, North Carolina2. The pedals are designed by Matthew Farrow and a group of trusted players, builders, and friends, with each one voiced and tweaked by the company's sonic scientists to achieve sounds that are both instantly familiar yet completely unique1. The company also honors the warranty on secondhand units as if they were new1. Other North Carolina makers in the same boutique space include Haunted Labs, described as the state's scariest boutique pedal company8.
Known for: the F.13 flanger and original designs
Alexander's own product pages call the F.13 and F.13N pedals "benchmarks for flanging excellence," with the company's roots firmly planted in flanging concepts39. The Dynaflanger Model 213, a flanger effects pedal, carries that lineage forward: Alexander says it "pulled out all the stops to combine all the best tones we love from our original F.13 into the Dynaflanger 213"39.
The company is explicit that it does not trade in clones. Its FAQ states: "We don't clone or copy existing designs. We might build something that works in a similar manner to an existing product," but all hardware and DSP designs are 100% original2. Several pedals share a signature feature, an automatic ramping function that sweeps a parameter under expression control without an external pedal; it appears on the Dynaflanger, Rewind and Space Force345.
A few examples of the range and what the maker says about each:
| Pedal | Type | Maker's description |
|---|---|---|
| Dynaflanger Model 213 | Flanger | Combines the best tones from the original F.1339 |
| Rewind | Delay | A reimagining of the flagship delay platform4 |
| Space Force | Effects pedal | Automatic ramping for expression control5 |
| Velvet Noise | Effects pedal | "No phase weirdness, no pumping, minimal latency"6 |
| Slide Away | Two effects | "One pedal, two effects"10 |
| Forget-Me-Not | Effects pedal | No menus; everything accessible from the face of the pedal11 |
| Hot Pink Drive | Drive | Does not use a battery7 |
The people: Matthew Farrow and collaborators
Matthew Farrow is the designer behind the brand, working with a group of trusted players, builders, and friends1. He signs the product pages himself, and his notes give a picture of how the pedals develop. Of Now We Are Ghosts, Farrow wrote: "I have been working on this pedal for more than a year, including some early prototypes that I showed off back in early 2025," with three name changes and three graphic designs along the way; the art is by Conrad Keely12. The Luminous features pedal art by Sergio Monfort and, in the maker's words, "it glows in the dark, because of course it does"13.
Alexander also collaborates outside its own catalog. The Caroline Guitar Company Alpha Gain II Limited Special, Black Batch is described by Caroline as "a special collaboration between Caroline Guitar Company and Alexander Pedals"14. The Luminous supports an optional AlExpander passive foot controller for Alexander pedals13.
Artists: no paid endorsements
Alexander does not pay players to use its gear. Its FAQ states plainly: "We aren't in the business of paying players to use our gear, so if you see an Alexander Pedals unit on your favorite player's board, they bought it." Touring or session players interested in a partnership can reach out through the contact form2.
Support: warranty, shipping and sales
Alexander warrants its products for one year from the date of purchase, covering defects in workmanship or materials but not misuse or damage. The warranty is fully transferrable and follows the pedal, and the company says it honors the warranty on secondhand units as if they were new. Return shipping for warranty repairs is paid by Alexander; shipping the pedal to the company is paid by the customer21.
- Where to buy: Through dealers first, or direct from the online store, with shipping worldwide2
- International shipping: USPS Priority Mail or Express Mail; no undervalued customs declarations; customs and duties are the customer's responsibility2
- Charity: A portion of the profits from each pedal sold goes to childhood cancer research charities, and the company contributes gear to charity auctions such as Circuits to Cure Cancer2
