“I wish it were more like this,” “I don’t like this part”—we’re all familiar with those thoughts, aren’t we? We all have one or two. But the reality is that we often have no choice but to make do with what’s available on the market. We’re looking for your “If only it were…” and “It would be great if…” ideas!You might be worried that your thoughts won’t get through, but here at TCGAKKI Group, we read every single piece of feedback. We’ve already created products based on customer feedback! Whether it’s a super personal desire or just a whim—anything goes. Go ahead and vent those frustrations and desires you’ve been keeping buried deep inside!

Baseball Effector

This project started with a single comment from a customer who was a huge fan of the Swallows’ mascot, “Tsubakuro”: “I wish there was a Tsubakuro effects pedal.”

You might not believe it, but we actually obtained an official license from the Central League to produce it.

Thanks to the passion of our Tigers and Carp fans, this became a product we were able to bring to market!

Samurai Guitar

It’s typical of TCGAKKI to create something like this, but it all started when our history-loving staff got together for drinks, the conversation turned to the “Shinsengumi,” and someone said, “Why don’t we make one?”—and that’s how the project began.

Since we were acquainted with the team that had created the square-bodied “Pocky Guitar” at the time, we thought, “Why not make a square guitar featuring not only the Shinsengumi’s ‘Flag of Sincerity,’ but also Takeda Shingen’s ‘Wind, Forest, Fire, Mountain’ and Mito Komon’s ‘Aoi Crest’!” Once we got started, there was no stopping the series, so we ended up producing these three models.

ROCKMAN Revival

An outstanding creation that transforms the legendary Rockman—famous for its sound in Boston and B’z—into Effector compact Effector.

A veteran engineer with deep knowledge of the Rockman thoroughly analyzed the original circuitry and brought it back to life as a fully analog masterpiece. While preserving the legendary sound, it has been reborn as a compact pedal with modern usability. Trusted “Made in Japan”!

Fighter Jet Guitar

A quirky masterpiece born from the whims of an aviation-loving owner, who was moved by rumors of a Japanese fighter jet in development and the sight of the test aircraft—nicknamed “Shinshin”—soaring through the Japanese skies.

Despite its innovative shape, the body features a chambered structure in certain areas to optimize weight distribution, and—believe it or not—the bridge Recruit an ’80s-style Kela tremolo.

The design meticulously mimics the aircraft’s appearance down to the finest details—from the color scheme and position marks to the knobs—and the prototype even featured an arched body.

This groundbreaking electric guitar was met with a resounding silence when the developer sought a license for production from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.

My fingernails keep hitting the strings when I press them down, so I’d love to see a guitar chord presser created!

I want a modeling wah that combines every wah pedal from throughout history and around the world into a single unit (Kagawa Prefecture: Niku-bucho)
