Who is RonSound??
RonSound was started in 1995 by me, Ron Neely II. I'm one of the original "boutique" pedal builders, family man, electronics technician, bassist, esophageal cancer survivor and oddball guitar/bass collector (and also packrat). Also, at one time, I had what was probably the largest collection of vintage Electro-Harmonix gear in the world, numbering over 100 pieces including amps, pedals, and light art. To make extra cash, I'd rent out my entire collection to a local recording studio for $100 a week. My triangle knob EH Big Muff was one of the most frequently requested items so I set out to duplicate it to keep the original unit at home where it could stay in it's original box. The result was the RonSound Hairpie, which continues to be one of my top selling pedals even now, over 25 years later and amid hundreds of other Big Muff clones (over 300 of various versions sold!). My next project was duplicating the Foxx Tone Machine that belonged to a friend and making it more user friendly, resulting in the RonSound Stone Machine with footswitchable Octave, the first clone to do so.
I still make all my pedals on my own in my shop in Bloomington, IN. Thanks to the wonders of the internet, things have gotten better as far as sourcing parts and materials but in the end, I prefer to do all the assembly and testing myself to make sure everything sounds and works as it should.
