ART was created in 1984 by former employees of the original MXR innovations, and they started with pro audio processing products. In 1996, ART released the Tube MP Microphone Preamp, which set a new standard in this field. During the mid-1990s, ART produced the Attack and DST series. The Attack Series were basic guitar amps with "Quad-S" special effects. The DST Series were some of the first modeling amplifiers to appear on the market. Currently, ART produces a full line of audio equipment including rack-mounted equalizers, reverb units, tube processors, microphone preamps, and other audio products. Artists such as Robben Ford and Eric Johnson have used these effects and processors over the years. For more information, visit ART's website or contact them directly.
