About Us

PEDALS TO INSPIRE. PEDALS TO IMPROVE

Cornerstone Music Gear is a family-owned company where my wife, Linda, and I help musicians worldwide renew their passion and inspiration, with our effect pedals.

Our products are designed as instant plug-and-play pedals that can inspire you to play more and become a better musician.

But to do this you need time. We believe that taking quality time for yourself is essential to getting truly inspired. Stepping away from the rush of day-to-day life and connecting with what you love will make you a better player.

We have created a community of fantastic individuals whose contributions are essential to our work.

Musicians from diverse backgrounds and paths, hailing from all corners of the globe, share our passion for music and inspire us to strive for the ideal tone.

This is the Cornerstone family, and we invite you to join us.

EMILIO MASSARI

The creator and founder of Cornerstone began creating the first pedals immediately after completing his degree in aerospace engineering to satisfy his insatiable thirst for TONE and to recreate the sound “in his head,” which he couldn’t find in any other commercially available pedal.

Applying perseverance and determination (typical of Politecnico di Milano veterans), he managed, with the help of his wife Linda, to transform the initial hobby into a company projected internationally.

LINDA LUNARDON

As a management engineer specialized in logistics, Linda plays a crucial role in the establishment of the nascent Cornerstone. From the outset, she treats Emilio’s hobby as a real company.

Since 2019, she has been assembling EVERY SINGLE Cornerstone pedal by hand, in addition to planning production and listening to investigative podcasts.

LORENZO

His degree in Geology certainly helps him bring out the Rock in his task of assembling and testing each individual Cornerstone pedal.

Lorenzo joins the team in 2021 after initially being one of our customers… He knows what it means for a pedal to sound good! and his ears are crucial as the final check in the assembly phase.
