The Lost Contact is not a pedal for the faint of heart.
Born from an original circuit design and built with intention, the Lost Contact is an instrument of beautiful destruction. We carefully selected vintage components and deliberately starved key parts of the circuit, engineering failure as a feature, not a flaw. The result is a fuzz/distortion pedal that doesn't just color your tone; it consumes it, corrupts it, and spits it back out as something entirely its own.
For the artists who don't play by the rules. For those who rewrite them.
The Input knob unleashes extreme levels of gain, from aggressive growls to full signal annihilation. The Color knob (the large control at the top) is the soul of this pedal. It manipulates the bias of the second gain stage and fundamentally transforms how your signal behaves in relation to your Input knob. From a broken down, overdriven signal to saturated fuzz despair, every position in between is its own universe.
Every Lost Contact enclosure is in steel and individually patina-ed by hand, meaning no two units look alike. Yours will be the only one in existence.
Hand built in Montreal
Every unit is meticulously patina-ed, assembled, and tested by our team of obsessives. We don't just build pedals, we craft instruments for the fearless.
Backed by Confidence
Because we know what happens when you push boundaries and we built it to handle the fallout.

We sent Matt McJunkins a Lost Contact so that he could spend some time with it and share his thoughts. A little while later, he dropped an absolutely killer jam, running his bass straight into the Lost Contact and slamming it.
We weren’t expecting this video at all, and it’s in these moments that we’re reminded why we build this stuff in the first place. IG @mattmcjunkins
No polish, no script, a raw clip from our industrial space of the very first time we tried the Lost Contact with a bass. A simple riff, but the impact is massive.
This demo was taken in our industrial building and includes two takes of the same performance: phone audio (with the freight elevator’s natural reverb) followed by direct line-in audio for a clear, close-up listen to the pedal. We kept both because we couldn’t decide which one was better, and Phil Lemire absolutely nailed it. IG @philelemireguitar
