Malekko Heavy Industry

Co-owned by entrepreneur Josh Holley and Paul Barker of Ministry and Revolting Cocks fame, Malekko Heavy Industry has consistently produced some of the most comprehensive effects pedals, Eurorack modules, and downright filthy desktop devices on the market.

From their resurrection and transposition of the famed Wiard 300 Series (re-released in the Eurorack format as the Richter Series) to their Varigate 8+ and Voltage Block sequencer modules to their fundamentally gritty effects units like the B:Assmaster and Sloika distortion pedals, Malekko produces discrete devices that lend themselves well to just about any audio application. Beyond that, they have handled the design and production of the Roland 500 Euro System and produced three stellar tabletop devices: the Manther synthesizer, Mr. D analog drum machine, and the BFF 4-voice wavetable synthesizer (designed in collaboration with Industrial Music Electronics).
