Hello Effects Fans!

Today the message is unpleasant.  After figuring how to deal with some of our government’s policy decisions for the past several years, I must finally admit defeat.  It is not feasible to continue operations with the latest round of policy changes.  As recently as a few days ago, I thought it might work out.  Then I was hit with business-ending tariff charges, with more to come.  To be clear, it isn’t just these new Trump tariffs that have beaten me.  Biden-era tariff changes and policies were also difficult to survive.  The cumulative effect is too much.  

As an entrepreneur I take calculated and managed risks.  Sometimes it works out, and sometimes I seem to be shooting at my own feet.  But I can’t survive an economic nuking from my own government.  It’s not just a political disagreement, or differing opinions, theories, or expectations.  It’s a matter of undisputed facts, real dollars.  Gerlt Technologies’ “Game Over” criteria were met this week as those facts became crystal-clear.  I don’t like politics and refuse to take part in it, so I’ll just leave it at that.

Gerlt Technologies will no longer take new orders for our effects.  We do still have our popular 3U Pedal Racks available until our inventory is depleted.  New tariffs on metals will make them too expensive to restock, so get ‘em while we’ve got ‘em!  I have a handful of new modules that I’ll be completing soon.  I’ll still announce them when they are finished, just ‘cause.  We were already contemplating thinning out some of our guitars, amps, pedals, and maybe some components and other gear that have somehow quietly filled up all our available space over the past several years.  We may add some listings for those on the site or perhaps on Reverb in the coming months.  Keep an eye on us if you are interested in some lightly used gear in great condition.  I expect and plan this shutdown to be permanent, but maybe I’ll pop up and take a look around in a couple of years if enough major changes take place in government policy after the mid-term elections.   

It has been a lot of fun!  I enjoyed meeting thousands of you along the way – always the best part of any adventure.  Thank you all, and all the best to you and yours!

New Module: Bee All

Published: 26 July 2020 26 July 2020

Hello, Effects Fans!

Yes, it is once again time to announce a new GT effect module.  But today, it's going to be a little different - are you ready?

First, our new module is called the Bee All module.  But you cannot buy a Bee All.  Nope, we don't offer any Bee Alls for sale.  

Second, we aren't just announcing a new module configuration.  Or even two new configurations.  Or five.  Or ten.  Or twenty.  Yes, this is crazy.  We are announcing 28, yes, twenty-eight, 2-8, new module configurations!  This is what happens when we get locked up for quarantine and spend far too much time in the lab!  New products come streaming out at an epic rate. 

So what are all these new configurations?  We won't go into full details here, as that would make our normally-already-too-long announcement too much to digest at once.  You probably noticed that this announcement doesn't include pictures of the new module configurations and pedals they compare to, as our usual announcements do.  Again, including all those pictures is just too many for one posting.

If you use guitar pedals, you probably know of BJFE, Bearfoot, and Mad Professor pedals.  And you probably know that those companies are somehow related and sell some similar designs.  Many of those designs are based on a single "parent design", with some tweaks to parts, or with small pieces of the circuit left out or modified slightly.  Our Bee All module design supports a large number of those BJFE, Bearfoot, and Mad Professor designs.  At present we support 28 different versions of several different pedals released under those brand names.  Some of the pedals include:

  • Blueberry Bass Overdrive (yay!  more bass configurations!)
  • Honey Bee
  • Uber Bee 
  • Silver Bee
  • Honey Beest
  • Dyna Red Distortion
  • Model G
  • Model H
  • Sparkling Yellow Overdrive

These, in their different brands and versions, make up the 28 new module configurations we are announcing today.  We said above that no Bee Alls are for sale.  The reason is due to our need to distinguish between all these Bee All module configurations.  We left "Bee All" out of their names to keep the names from becoming too lengthy.  So, no, there aren't any of these configurations for sale that are called a "Bee All".  You order them by their individual names instead.

To see all the specific configurations we offer, options, pricing, etc, check out the BeeAll page for full details.  You can also find the Bee All page listed in our Amp Sim effects, as all the configurations were designed to sound like specific types of amps.  You can follow the menus to get there:  Products -> Modules -> Modules By Type -> Amp Sim.  Or search for "Bee All".

With this announcement, we now offer GT module configurations that compare to well over 300 different guitar effects/pedals.  We understand that to make a rack solution most effective, you need a wide range of effects to choose from.  That was one of the problems with previous rack effects offerings, decades ago.  There weren't enough effects to choose from.  There were other problems, too, like high cost.  Gerlt Technologies has completely re-imagined what rack effects could be, and made it happen.  We are committed to offering a wide variety of rack effects at prices comparable to pedals.  With well over 300 effects to choose from, and an average price per module that is competitive with good pedals, now is the best time in all of effects history to make the switch to a rack solution from Gerlt Technologies.  All it takes to get started is an email to This email address is being protected from spambots.
