About
AC Noises began in 2016 as a daring venture by Andrea Ragusa and Claudia Bellotti, a duo united by their passion for creativity and sound. Andrea, a sound designer and educator who also played in an electro-ambient duo, joined forces with Claudia, an illustrator and photographer, to bring something fresh into the world of guitar pedals.
Their journey started with three pedals—VOLA (preamp/overdrive), COMBATTI (distortion), and ESPLORA (fuzz)—but soon evolved into a bold commitment to crafting the unconventional. Today, their experimental devices, like the AMA (reverb w/ oscillator + bit crusher), URLA (CMOS fuzz + dual resonant filter) and RICORDA (stereo granular reverb + freeze/loop), have captured the hearts of musicians across the globe. From emerging artists to iconic figures in bands like Mogwai, Nine Inch Nails, Trentemøller, and Smashing Pumpkins, AC Noises has inspired countless creators to lose themselves in the magic of sound.
At AC Noises, we believe that true artistry begins when you dare to venture beyond the familiar. Our pedals are not just tools—they are invitations to explore, challenge, and redefine the boundaries of music. We craft them for the sonic adventurers who crave more than just sound, who seek to create immersive soundscapes and unforgettable moments.
Join us, and take the risk to get lost in sound.
