About Frantone

What is Frantone?
Frantone Electronics is my company.
I'm Fran, and this is the place where cool pedals are built by hand, with love.
Since 1994 Frantone has delivered great tone all over the world,
and www.Frantone.com has been on the world wide web since 1995.

Who makes Frantone pedals?
I do! Frantone pedals are manufactured entirely in the USA.

Who designs Frantone pedals?
Yours truly. Hey, I do all the hard work, including the circuit designs, PCB layout, the logos and artwork, and everything else.

What does Frantone make?
I make only original analog effects and accessories with an emphasis on tonal quality, clarity, and rugged reliability. I manufacture a line of regular production pedals as well as custom effects made to order. I use only the highest quality components with great attention to detail and an emphasis on durable construction.

What makes Frantone so special?
Completely hand built quality and loving care every step of the way.
Everything is done in-house, including the machining of the cast aluminum cases, painting, silk screening, wiring, and assembly.
When you own a Frantone pedal you've got something very special and unique.

Some may think it is extreme, but I print, etch, drill, fill and solder every circuit board completely by hand to insure the superior quality of all the effects I make. All of the circuit boards are individually manufactured to strict specifications, conformal coated, and hooked up with aircraft grade silver-teflon wire.
You just can't get any better than that!

Now that's what I mean by hand made!

Finally, every Frantone pedal is thoroughly tested and tone checked by me personally before being packaged.
This assures that every single Frantone pedal sounds just as good as it looks.
