Ortega Guitars was founded in Germany in 1994 and has combined modern design with authentic, traditional methods of classical guitar building. The company is particularly known for its concert guitars, but has since made a name for itself in many other areas of acoustic music. Ortega Guitars is committed to innovation, quality and sustainability and strives to meet and continuously exceed the expectations for all its acoustic instruments at every level.
The initial aim of the newly founded guitar company was to produce guitars that anyone can play and afford. From that starting point Ortega Guitars has grown from a small German guitar brand into a true global player with distribution partners around the world.
A cornerstone of Ortega Guitars was and still is the construction of guitars in traditional Spanish-style build, regarded as the highest-quality construction method. In addition to further developing this construction style, various designs and features were experimented with and the instruments have steadily improved. Ortega Guitars always takes its cue from the wishes of its customers and from the artists who play Ortega instruments. Over the past 25 years the product range has therefore expanded considerably. Today music enthusiasts can choose from a wide variety of stringed instruments such as ukuleles, acoustic basses, mandolins and banjos. Of course smaller guitars such as 1/4, 1/2 and 3/4 models for children are also part of the range.
The latest innovations from Ortega include, among other things, the digital stompboxes Horse Kick Pro and Quantum Loop, the Keiki-Series ukuleles for very young musicians and a system specifically for the amplification of acoustic guitars consisting of the head unit H ONE and the matching speaker cabinets S ONE and S TWO. With so much innovation and customer focus it is no surprise that many artists have chosen Ortega guitars and play them in everyday life and on stage. Among the best-known artists with signature instruments from Ortega Guitars are Thomas Zwijsen, Ben Woods, Javier Reyes and Ken Taylor.

I use the horse kick pro at home because it adds pace to my guitar playing. I am using it at church too as our resident boom-box player has recently moved away. The background thump of drum, or sound of the other instruments it generates, puts a beat into our worship group's playing and singing, tightening the proceedings. It helps keep us all together and moving forward at the correct timing throughout the songs and so encourages and enhances our performance. We have found it a wonderful novelty, but also a serious contribution to our time together. So simple to use and exciting when you realize that just the movement of your foot is helping to guide things along. Maybe a bit over-priced, but beautifully produced and, as one youngster said to me recently, it's "cool" apparently - surely the greatest of accolades these days!
Endlich steht meiner Weltkarriere nichts mehr im Wege! Habe total Freude an diesem Teil, jetzt muss ich nur noch fleissig üben, dass alles gut passt :-)
The ability to play your guitar through the device is terrific, but the signal weak, so I have to turn my guitar way down. The sounds are authentic though a snare would be more useful than some. I do find it difficult to get an even volume with my foot, since the spot to tap is very defined, so much so that I've bought a kick pedal for my cajon and given up on this (expensive) device. A fixed volume and larger tap area would be a great improvement.
Super tolles Instrument, macht sehr viel Spass. Gute Qualität und Preis/Leistung stimmt 😊
