What is Cat's FACTORY... LOUDNESS Effects born from a close relationship of trust with Mr. Takasaki and Mr. Yamashita.
Rather than a collaboration effect pedal that only bears the name,
this is a real-world performance effect pedal that always sits at the feet of Mr. Takaishi and Mr. Yamashita on LOUDNESS live shows.
All Cat'sFACTORY effect pedals are offered without distinction between pro-supplied products and products available to the general public.
We deliver professional quality just as it is.
This product lineup is packed with the meticulous attention to detail and ingenuity born from over 40 years of experience in the electronics industry as a builder.
The Cat'sFACTORY Neko-chan T-shirts, specially designed by Mr. Kamigaki of Hiroshima-based IC4Design, who is active worldwide, are also highly popular.

Discontinuation of Included Batteries
Starting with production batches from November 2026, we will no longer include batteries with our products.
This decision is primarily due to the fact that most users now power their devices using an AC adapter—rendering the included batteries unused and wasteful—as well as increasingly strict regulations on air transport, which make it difficult to ship products that contain batteries. We appreciate your understanding.
*For products that support battery operation, you may still use them by inserting your own batteries.
[2026.8.11]
We’re now shipping to the United States 🇺🇸 and Australia 🇦🇺, so you can purchase Cat’sFACTORY products directly from both countries.
Before placing your order, please be sure to read our “International Shipping and Delivery” information carefully.
