Pedalnetics

8 pedals on Tonebox

Pedalnetics is an active, small-scale maker of guitar effects accessories and pedals. Its products center on aux switches and Aux Plates: add-on plates and switch units that extend other makers' pedals, expression pedals and MIDI controllers with extra footswitches, mounting surfaces and routing options. Alongside those it builds its own pedals and utility boxes, all built to order before shipping123.

The range

What Pedalnetics is known for

Pedalnetics' best-documented line is its Aux Plates and aux switches, which it has released steadily since 2024. These are accessories that attach to, or replace the bottom plate of, other companies' gear35:

  • Aux Plates (May 2026): generic size-based plates with enough wire and routing options to take up wire slack and put the plug wherever the pedal needs it6.
  • 1590BB Aux Plate (July 2026): suits horizontal pedals like the Double Barrel and vertical pedals like the Flight Delay, and allows switching of orientation7.
  • HXOne Aux Plate: adds extra switches for the HXOne; attaches with velcro or as a replacement bottom plate using the factory screws. The HXOne itself is not included3.
  • PodExpress AuxPlate and AuxPlate XL: add 2 extra soft-touch footswitches to the Line 6 PodExpress, as if they were built as part of the unit; the XL also provides a place for a volume pedal. The PodExpress and shown accessories are not included89.
  • DVP4 Flush Plates: a replacement bottom plate for the Dunlop DVP4 expression pedal, giving a flat surface for velcro and pedalboard mounting5.
  • General Triple Aux: a simple 3-button switch, wired with diodes for the third switch10.

Pedalnetics also makes its own pedals and utility hardware, including the Expression Roller v21, the Trident11, the Auxidi Duo12, the MIDI LED aux switch2, and the DVP4 Flush Plates5.

The maker is also building a master Pedal Compatibility Database, hosted at pedalkb.com, to help players match its plates and switches to their pedals. As of May 2026 it said the database was still in progress6.

Build-to-order and shipping

Pedalnetics builds its pedals to order before shipping, with current build-to-ship times of approximately 9 calendar days1. One point to know before ordering: expedited shipping does not negate build times1, so paying for faster delivery shortens only the transit, not the construction queue.

Pedalnetics does not stock its products. Every pedal is built to order before it ships, and as of August 2026 the maker's stated build-to-ship time is approximately 9 calendar days41314.

Pedalnetics states that expedited shipping does not negate build times4. Paying for faster shipping speeds up the delivery leg only, not the build itself.

Individual products can carry their own queue. The Trident, announced May 2026, was listed as hand-built to order with a 7 to 10 day queue11.

For context, other small makers that build to order post longer lead times: Lichtlaerm Audio quotes 14 to 20 days for production15, Saturnworks ships its Saturn Fuzz in approximately 2 to 3 weeks16, and Greer Amps ships within 2 to 2.5 weeks of order and payment17. Pedalnetics' roughly 9-day build-to-ship time is on the shorter end among these makers.

The PortaStomp

Pedalnetics has said it plans to make the PortaStomp available for sale18.

Questions

How long does Pedalnetics take to ship an order?

Pedalnetics builds its pedals to order before shipping. As of August 2026, the maker's stated build-to-ship time is approximately 9 calendar days. Some products carry their own queue, for example the Trident, which the maker listed as hand-built to order with a 7 to 10 day queue in May 2026.

Does expedited shipping speed up a Pedalnetics build?

No. Pedalnetics states plainly that expedited shipping does not negate build times. Paying for faster shipping speeds up the delivery leg only, not the roughly 9 calendar days the maker needs to build the pedal before it ships.

Is the PortaStomp for sale?

In November 2023 Pedalnetics announced that the PortaStomp v3.0 was in progress and that it planned to sell the PortaStomp, with circuit board design underway to replace hand-wiring on the custom hot-pink PortaStomp v2.0. No later announcement of it going on sale has been published.

What is the Pedalnetics Pedal Compatibility Database?

It is a master compatibility database Pedalnetics has been building to help players match its Aux Plates and accessories to their pedals. As of May 2026 the maker said it was still working on the database, which it hosts at pedalkb.com.

What are Pedalnetics Aux Plates?

Aux Plates are Pedalnetics accessory plates that mount to or replace the bottom plate of other makers' pedals and expression pedals. They add extra soft-touch footswitches, mounting surfaces for velcro and pedalboards, or a place for a volume pedal, depending on the model.
