JET Pedals started the same way many great tools do — out of necessity.

Junior Thomason is a guitarist who became an engineer because the gear he needed didn’t exist yet. He wanted a rig that could handle real live playing: fast changes, complex sounds, and total reliability — without the mental overhead that comes with most pedalboards.

So he built it.

What began as a single solution for his own board grew into JET Pedals: a small-batch pedal company focused on helping players move freely between simplicity and expression.

Not fewer sounds.

Not more complexity.

Just better control.

Today, JET builds effects pedals and MIDI control systems designed for real musicians — the kind who care deeply about their tone, their workflow, and how their rig feels under pressure.

Everything we make is built in small batches, individually tested, and shipped in the order received. We don’t outsource design. We don’t rush production. And we don’t believe great gear should feel disposable.

We believe your pedalboard should feel like an instrument.

Most guitar gear is built around features.

We build around experience.

How quickly can you recall your sounds?

How confidently can you move through a set?

How much mental energy does your rig demand while you’re trying to play?

These questions drive every product we design — from our analog effects to Unity6, our all-in-one MIDI controller and loop switcher.

Our goal is simple:

Help players achieve the tone they want with one press.

JET Pedals is still a small, family-run company based in Kansas City, Missouri.

Junior leads product design and engineering.

Jayme leads operations, marketing, and customer experience.

Together, we oversee every part of the process — from circuit design to assembly, testing, packaging, and support.

That means when you reach out, you’re talking to the people who actually build your gear.

It also means we build at a human pace. Some products are in stock. Others are built to order or produced in scheduled runs. Either way, your pedal is made with care — not pulled from a warehouse shelf.

We’re not trying to be the biggest pedal company.

We’re trying to build tools that last.

Tools that grow with you.

Tools that simplify your setup without limiting your creativity.

Tools that feel trustworthy when it matters most.

Thanks for being part of what we’re building.
