For the Famous… and the Might Be Famous.
We believe the only thing that should stand between you and your sound is a cable. That’s why we build incredible, road-worthy music gear that inspires you to plug in and play loud, whether you’re playing to a sold-out arena or a bedroom poster of your favorite band.
Born in a Rehearsal Space, Not a Boardroom
Might Be Famous wasn’t born from a business plan. It was born from feedback, muffled conversations through a concrete wall, and the smell of burnt solder at 2 AM. As gigging musicians ourselves, we were tired of the choice between gear that would break mid-set and gear that would break the bank. We knew there had to be a better way.
So we started tinkering, driven by a simple obsession: to build the instruments and effects we always wanted for ourselves. The first Might Be Famous guitar wasn’t a product; it was our new main axe. And we knew we were onto something.
Our Philosophy: Sound Over Status
Your name doesn’t have to be on a marquee for your tone to be legendary. We build our gear on a few core beliefs that put the power back in the player’s hands.
- Player-Centric Design: We design for the real world—the sweaty stage, the crowded van, and the late-night writing session. Durability and usability come first.
- Tone is Everything: We’re obsessed with sound. Every pickup, pedal, and drum shell is crafted to inspire you from the first note.
- Accessible Quality: We believe you shouldn’t have to sell your soul for great tone. We make top-tier gear without the ridiculous price tag.
