Have You Bought Any Pedals Lately In 2025?

[LemonBurst&OrangeCrush]

I just bought a second hand Memory Man XO, which I'm especially pleased with since they're not sold in our shops. (I didn't really have the money but I knew I'd swear when I saw it had been sold to someone else.)
Earlier I bought a Boss OD-3 and a 4-knob tc electronic Spark Booster.

I really really like the two Diamond pedals that I got. They work just flawlessly. They were a bit bigger than I expected but that’s ok. There still reasonably sized. Thanks!

They seem to be about the same size as a typical BOSS or Walrus single-width pedal.

Have Diamond made some mini pedals previously?

I probably said this somewhere else, but the finish on this pedal is absolutely beautiful. I was unable to capture that in a picture :-(. It's gorgeous.

Not sure where I heard that Diamond pedals were back in business (It may have been on TGP); but I'm sure glad that announcement was made.

I read somewhere that Diamond was purchased by SolidGoldFX, and that the Dark Cloud was the last model they produced, before being acquired by SGFX.

I've always wondered about them, but had never gotten around to purchasing one. Glad I did!

I bought several this year. The most notable ones I guess been the Marshall 1959 Super Lead pedal and a Maestro Fuzz-Tone FZ-M

Just a bona fide buffer. Pretty much sorted for pedals, don't really need anything else......for now

Some great purchases for you all so far. Enjoy, and play them all in good health!

Although I’ve bought a couple of guitars in 2025, so far no new pedal purchases. The year’s only half over, so time will surely tell.

But I did send out my Mooger Fooger MF-102 Ring Modulator for repair, so when that comes back, hopefully it will be “like new.”

It’s a nice very well made bit of kit.
Its fixed on my board along with the canvas 15 PSU but I have not used it yet.

They looked smaller in the pics due to the over sized knobs. I’m not complaining! I was just surprised.

How’s that 1959? Sound fantastic? Got extra gain maybe?

Yeah, it's got a nice smooth gain sound

It’s a Orange cab not a pedal.

Yes! G.A.S. is ever present.

This year, it's been:

1981 BOSS MIJ BF-2 Flanger
Keeley Halo Core Dual Delay
Ernie Ball MVP Volume Pedal

Diamond Dark Cloud Delay

Walrus Audio Canvas Power 15 Power Supply

Rock Stock Pedal Company Bright Switch set, plus extra LED lamp, to light up a board

Long live the addiction :| :-).

Those Bright Switches come in handy. I got a set on one of my boards, and am thinking of getting a second LED like you.

First time I've seen the Bright Switch. I'm definitely going to check it out. I am currently using a rechargeable light I picked up for $25 on Amazon.

It's supposed to run for 100+ hours on a single charge. I haven't needed to charge mine since January. It's not as slick as the Bright Switch pedal, but it's hard to beat for the performance and price.
