Have You Bought Any Pedals Lately In 2025?

I like the color temperature pictured on this light, way more than that of the Bright Light (which didn't have color temp options). Looks to be around 4500K - a neutral tint that looks a lot like daylight sun. Very nice color. This tint makes it possible for a lot of late night use, without burning out your eyeballs. It's really color accurate, unlike the typical, Blue, Green, or Purple-sih tints most cheaper LEDS seem to have.

My sister gifted me a similar light for my keyboard sight-reading, and it has a similar color temperature but it doesn't heave the rechargeable LiPo battery feature in it. Nice!

I'll be ordering one of the lights you listed here. Thanks for the reference!

I'm also a flashlight fanatic and I EDC this Zebralight SC600w Mk IV Plus HI, all the time. Powerful, nearly indestructible, and crazy flexible little light.

Neutral light is the best!

I actually have 3 of the rechargeable lights. One for my main board, one clipped to my bedroom headboard, and on clipped to my coffee table. Very convenient and useful.

I saw a demo of the OCD GE the other day and thought it sounded great. How’s it working for you?

I’m using the OCD Ge with my AC15 and have been liking that pairing. I’ve been going for amp-based distortion for the last few years, but started to get back into distortion pedals again once I tried the RAT-Vox normal channel combo.

I read that the OCD Ge was rounder and less trebly than the other iterations. My only other experience was with a DIY clone that I built and shelved.

Quite the amazing selection!

The SDE-3000D is on my wish list (along with tc's 2290P). But, I already have literally 18 delay pedals, so it's hard to justify - but I'll still pick up one of each of those two - eventually :-) - probably sooner than later, knowing me.

Delays and reverbs are my favorite effect of all (with modulation coming close, at third place), and they get spread over numerous boards, and rotated on and off of them, as needed or wanted.

The micro flanger was the very first effect pedal I ever purchased, used, from a friend, back in 1983. I sold it decades ago. The BF-2 became my go-to, not too many years later.

I loved that pedal.

I really like the BF-2 as well! Lately I’ve been digging the MXR “flavor” of modulations. They’re very full and warm (maybe too full at times). The micro flanger has been working great for me and I love the simplicity

This is perhaps a little pricey, but if you are digging the MXR modulations, I would emphatically recommend this pedal. It's is a super authentic circuit recreation of the vintage MXR-117 flanger - probably my favorite of all time. I own an original and this nails it, allowed me to retire the vintage one to the closet.

Hot for Flanger
