The maker's best known circuit family is the Left Hand Wrath line, a take on the Swedish chainsaw distortion sound made famous by the Boss HM-2, and its Deluxe version. A reddit /guitarpedals discussion thread, "Left hand wrath or other HM2 modeled pedals worth," compared the Left Hand Wrath Deluxe against other HM2-modeled pedals, which tells you the crowd it is aimed at: players who want that grinding, scooped Swedish death metal tone in a modern box12.
The pedals Lone Wolf Audio makes
The Lone Wolf Audio range spans several effect types, with distortion and fuzz at its core. The pedals the maker has brought out, as carried in the Tonebox product index, are:
| Pedal | Effect type |
|---|---|
| Left Hand Wrath | Distortion |
| Left Hand Wrath Deluxe | Distortion |
| Iron Fist | Distortion |
| Outer Heaven Fuzz | Fuzz |
| Bulldozer Fuzz | Fuzz |
| VHS | Modulation |
| Full Nelson Delay Reverb | Delay and reverb |
| Xenomorph | Fuzz |
| Outsider | Overdrive |
| Viper | Fuzz |
| Acetylene Nirvana | Fuzz |
The naming tells you the aesthetic before you plug anything in: Outer Heaven and Xenomorph borrow from video game and film horror, and the Left Hand Wrath line wears its Swedish death metal influence on its sleeve. Players looking for that style of gain can compare these against the wider fields of distortion pedals, fuzz pedals and overdrive pedals.
Lone Wolf Audio and Lone Wolf FX
The question comes up often enough to be worth settling plainly: Lone Wolf Audio and Lone Wolf FX are the same builder. The maker's Facebook page runs under the name Lone Wolf FX, while the pedals themselves carry the Lone Wolf Audio name1. So a search that turns up a Lone Wolf FX Facebook post about a new fuzz, and a Lone Wolf Audio listing for the same pedal, is not finding two companies, it is finding one builder using two names in different places.
The builder behind the pedals
The person behind the Lone Wolf name is Joe. In a Strymon pedalboard feature from December 2015, player Mike Gavrailoff showed off a Lone Wolf Texas Rat, a pedal being built for him personally. Describing it, he said:
"It is being built by Joe at Lone Wolf."
and added that "This pedal is on its way," meaning the pedal was still in the build queue at the time3. That feature is a useful window into how the company has worked: small-batch, partly custom work, built by hand for players who ask, rather than mass production. It also shows the maker was taking on one-off designs like the Texas Rat alongside its named range.
Lone Wolf Audio's output has included custom, one-off builds such as the Texas Rat built for a single player in 2015, so the full list of circuits the maker has produced goes beyond the pedals that appear in its regular range3.
Support and contact
Lone Wolf Audio keeps a Facebook page under the Lone Wolf FX name, and that page is the maker's public point of contact1. Players trying to reach the builder about a pedal, a repair or a possible custom build will find the Facebook presence the most direct route. No dedicated support email or phone line is published for the company.
