Sola Sound

Sola Sound is a pioneering British effects pedal company founded in 1964 by brothers Larry and Joe Macari, who operated the Macari's Musical Exchange shops on Denmark Street in London. Partnering with electronics engineer Gary Hurst, they released the original Tone Bender fuzz pedal in 1965, making Sola Sound one of the UK's first dedicated effects pedal manufacturers. Today the brand is operated by Anthony and Steve Macari from the family's London guitar shop, continuing to produce handbuilt Tone Bender and Colorsound reissues in small batches.
