McGregor Pedals is an independent instrument pedal design and manufacture house located in Vancouver, BC Canada. Its flagship product is the Crunch Transparent Overdrive Pedal for bass and guitar

McGregor Pedals started one afternoon when Michael Schau , the best guitar player I know (and also one of Western Canada's most respected blues/rock players), told me that he could never find a low-gain overdrive pedal that was truly transparent. I figured it was time to use my physics background; I started researching and came up with a proof of concept as well as a long list of modifications/improvements. Michael heard the proof of concept and said, "don't change a f***ing thing." I ignored him and spent a year making mods, only to end up pretty close to where I started. Serious pros (including Michael) have been playing the Crunch Transparent Overdrive live and in recordings ever since.
