BSRI Audio: Sonic Exploration from the Charm City

Baltimore Sonic Research Institute (BSRI Audio) isn’t just building pedals; they are engineering sonic experiments. Rooted in a deep appreciation for the "weird" and the "wonderful," BSRI specializes in discrete transistor designs, transformer-coupled circuits, and modulation that ranges from lush landscapes to beautiful chaos.

Whether you’re seeking the amp-like dynamics of the Get the Name of the Dog! overdrive, the deep-sea textures of Everything We Don't Know About The Ocean Floor, or the boutique engineering of their discrete opamp distortions, BSRI Audio provides the tools for players who want to stand out. Each pedal is hand-built with a focus on high-fidelity components and unique control schemes that reward experimentation.
