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.
