Since 2015 NEW PEDALS EVERY DAY! Over 4500 REVIEWS!
I use other reviewers vids & then critique from them __ If a pedal appears killer I buy one __ I try it out & update the Post__ If the pedal is SH@T I literally say so!__ I publish the street price a no brainer but few do. __ I save you time finding the best pedals & you get a second opinion. __OVER 4 MILLION VISTORS__
NO ONE OWNS ME___ I MAKE ZERO $ FROM THIS
Good day to all, I agree with the comment posted above. Bravo! Especially to Paul who has been advocating for “sanity for stomp boxes” for many years. Thanks to him, I have filled many boxes, drawers, shelves and yes even a few pedalboards with inexpensive MIC pedals. I read each and every pedal review he posts but rarely pull the trigger on anything . . . U N L E S S . . .
It's a good thing you do not buy every pedal I review or you would own over 4,500 pedals, OUCH!!! lol. The analog pedal is not going away. Hundreds of small older brands simply keep making a few of their best from years ago. Then just by one guy letting a friend play that builders pedals that friend buys his own. In short that means we are not losing brands just some brands stick to things they nailed and sales are made by word of mouth. Secondly there are new young guys starting up all the time . At minimum about 35 or 40 new small brands a year and they are not religiously doing clones nor are they making weird shoegaze things but making pedals with better dynamics and more harmonically rich sounds. Yesterday for example I had 700 guys drop by to check out pedals. Even with higher prices as much as 30% a guy can save up for a pedal. A guitar, an amp etc. with a 30% increase is a whole different story.
Well, funnily enough... about ten years ago I realised that if I stopped buying pedals for awhile I could probably buy an amp I really wanted to have instead of "making do" with the Bogner I sort of liked but did not love. So I did, and the amp I bought has been THE amp for me. Meanwhile, I've bought and sold pedals in the intervening years but nowhere near the "churn" that I'd been doing previously.
