MCSOUND Lab

Crafted Sound: The Art of Marco Castellucci

The story of MCSOUND Lab is born from the passion and experience of Marco Castellucci, musician and technician who has always sought to unite his two great passions: guitar and electronics. From his artisan workshop in the heart of the Marche coast, Marco creates amplifiers, pedals, and accessories entirely hand-assembled, focusing on the quality of materials and respect for the original sound of the instrument.

Every MCSOUND Lab product is the result of careful research and a “boutique” approach where nothing is left to chance: point-to-point circuits, selected components, obsessive controls at every stage of construction. “I am convinced,” says Marco, “that every musician is in continuous search of their own sound. My mission is to create instruments that make that possible.”

The Collection

The MCSOUND Lab collection includes tube amplifiers, handmade pedals, cabinets, and accessories designed for musicians who want a powerful, dynamic, and reliable sound. Each model is entirely handmade, combining vintage techniques and modern materials to offer a top-level sound performance.

Key elements of the construction approach:

• Point-to-point assembly: as in the ’60s/’70s to ensure reliability and durability.
• Selected components: tubes, resistors, and capacitors of quality for a warm and dynamic tone.
• Boutique pedals: overdrive, fuzz, and boost designed to integrate perfectly into any setup.
• Custom cabinets: birch plywood cabinets with Jensen and Celestion speakers.

The result is a range of instruments that combine Italian craftsmanship and professional sound, designed for live environments and studio use.

Construction Philosophy, Techniques, and Materials

The philosophy of MCSOUND Lab is based on three pillars: craftsmanship, reliability, and authentic sound. Every circuit is designed and wired by hand, avoiding PCBs whenever possible to preserve dynamics and longevity. The use of vintage techniques such as point-to-point wiring and the choice of selected tubes create instruments that not only sound good but become an integral part of the guitarist’s musical expression.

The care for materials reflects in every detail: from the cabinet wood to pedal shielding, every component is chosen to guarantee consistent performance and a warm, natural sonic response.

Collaborations and Recognitions

MCSOUND Lab has already been chosen by numerous professional musicians and important collaborations, including Claudio “Gallo” Golinelli, historic bassist of Vasco Rossi, and Cristian “Cicci” Bagnoli for the creation of signature pedals.

Every partnership is born from a sharing of common values: artisanal quality, authentic sound, and attention to the real needs of musicians.
