Have You Bought Any Pedals Lately In 2025?

[Dave Lewis]

Really strange. I’ve been on using Imgur as my image host for a long time. Haven’t run into these problems before.

Why don’t you just copy and paste your pictures ?

Why don’t you just copy and paste your pictures ?

Attempting that, here, just to see how it turns out. Seems I have to load them directly from my hard drive, rather than from the host site. Other forums I use require an imaging hosting site be used, or have very serious image resolution limitations; so I've been doing it that way for years.

How does this look?

What kind of device are you using? Are you able to view the images on your computer?

Imgur blocks access to UK users after proposed regulatory fine

The image-hosting platform - which is widely used to make memes - was facing a fine over its use of children's data.

Imgur is blocked in the UK at the moment. So everyone can see Imgur images just fine.

I really like the looks of this one. Report back when you have a chance. Good seeing you!

I dig it. However my hx one doesn’t, so off goes the hx one. These vids aren’t representative of the tones in the tot. I was just hooking everything up and reordering some things. I put my hx one on for capo a couple of days ago and now it’s coming off

Everyone what are your cheap throwaway amazon/chinese pedals that made the cut?

I was looking for an analog chorus and on a whim ordered this caline wave machine for 38 bucks on amazon. I must say it sounds pretty damn good, nice lush analog chorus. Supposedly a small clone or ce-2 clone depending on which amazon review you read, but they probably have no idea really. I figured I’d try it and possibly return it and spend 3-5 times as much on a more respectable pedal, but it sounds so good that for less than 40 bucks I don’t think I can send it back.

I’m trying not to get into putting a bunch of these cheap junker pedals on my board, but I figure one won’t hurt, maybe it’s just a placeholder for something else eventually.

I just bought an Xotic BB Preamp. I have been wanting to try it and found a good deal. It’s pretty ok, kind of a “tool in the box” kind of pedal.

I can sense a disturbance in the force from the 'no slider' guys.

I kind of like it.

This was the other one I had my eye on, I think it’s a clone of this, isn’t it?

Yes. Its not transparent. I really like it with the 2203x. Definitely changes the voice of the amp but i found I like the character it adds. I prefer variety in my jams. Pretty cheap experiment.

I bought these off amazon a few years ago after watching a few of Ryan 60 cycle hums afford a board videos.
They were a range of pedals that kept changing the brand name.
The all cost around £15 each with a discount code .
They all turned out to be surprisingly good pedals .

 

[Dave Lewis]

In the £30 to £40 price range Tone City make some awesome pedals that punch well above there weight
Andertons sell them .
Silly money on amerzon

Love the Golden Plexi 2. Great Pedals, I also have the Flexo Drive for that low-gain vibe, stacks well with the GP. Those original drives they did with the dual switches always has an almost unusable amount of volume on their boost. The slightest turn of the boost knob and it'll blow your ears off
