MOST Selling Guitar Pedal Brands OF ALL TIME? (1967–2026) BOSS vs Electro-Harmonix vs MXR

Which brand sells the most guitar pedals in the world? Ask any guitarist and they will say BOSS. Today, they are right. But BOSS did not even exist in 1967. Every effects pedal sold worldwide, counted by brand, every year from 1967 to 2026. Vox, Electro-Harmonix, MXR, DOD, Ibanez, Zoom, DigiTech, Line 6, Behringer, TC Electronic, Mooer, Joyo, NUX, Hotone and more. 78 brands, and only three ever wear the crown. How it is counted: one stompbox, wah, volume pedal, pedal tuner or floor multi-effects unit counts as one. Rack units, desktop modelers and plug-ins do not count. A pedal counts for the brand printed on it. 0:00 The Wah Years 0:55 New York Fuzz 2:04 The Little Boxes 3:49 The Floor Units 6:20 The Clone Wars 7:30 Pedalboard Mania 8:52 Lockdown 9:20 Made in Shenzhen Data: Roland/BOSS annual securities reports and press releases (compact pedal milestones), Zoom securities reports, Gibson Maestro shipment records, Neural DSP and Line 6 financial filings, Music Trades / NAMM industry data, Thomann brand statistics, company histories and interviews. Brands rarely publish unit sales, so most yearly figures are estimates built from these sources. 2026 is projected.
