The new Dirty Boy Jr. pedals are the result of an official collaboration between Warm Audio and the renowned boutique pedal manufacturer Dirty Boy Pedals.

Dirty Boy Pedals has enjoyed cult status since the 1980s. The brand originated from bespoke pedals that Alex Saraceno originally developed for his son, Blues Saraceno (of Poison), and has won over numerous renowned guitarists over the years.

Under the leadership of Danny Gomez Jr., the concept has been consistently refined and taken to a new level with the company’s proprietary, fully analogue T.A.E. (Tube Amp Emulation) technology. The new Dirty Boy Jr. pedals deliver the characteristic boutique amp sound, combining authentic vintage tonal aesthetics with modern build quality and attractive market availability.

Through this collaboration, Warm Audio is making the coveted Dirty Boy sound accessible to a global audience for the first time – and is expanding its pedal portfolio with an exceptional range that holds great appeal for discerning guitarists.
