Have You Bought Any Pedals Lately In 2025?

I’ve had you on my ignore list for a while but had to see this post of yours.
Sorry some of you ? get sour but I don’t boast like I’m the clever one and have never called anyone a bunch of cunts for buying expensive gear I believe isn’t better quality .ect. 😳
I don’t and never have criticised anyone’s buying choices on here.
The forum gang on here seem to love criticising mine though.🤣😂
PS .
I don’t buy multiple variants of some of the cheapest pedals like crazy.
If I did it’s got fook all to do with you.
It's irritating, to some extent.

Anyhow, we're all here for the same thing, one could say. And I'm fairly certain I'd even share a beer with you and have nice talks, no doubt.

I have now removed you from my ignore list. All I'd expect in return is actual conversation about gear, at least sort reviews of the stuff you buy, etc.

Pictures alone won't suffice, neither do YouTube links. Post your personal experiences/insight, and I'm happy to chat.

Olive branch, tbh

PS: And you're not buying multiple variants of the same cheap boxes? Eh... Sorry sir, I believe the Warm Audio Store disagrees. 😁
 
This arrived earlier.

Too many to mention I’m afraid. Plenty went back but I found some ones I really really liked in the process. Some were old friends.

Diamond is back baby! Great Comp/EQ and Booster/EQ

Me too with the diamond comp, I had it stored away for a while and its now back on my board.. Does a lot and does a little so well !
CAE Booster/Line Driver
Vox Valvenergy Comp. Tubes and comp were made for each other IMO
Some reverb and delay pedals not on the TGF approved list

Rebought an Iridium, Riverside and Sunset.
 
See the DemonFX shit out and out rips off the full design of the enclosure too. That bugs the hell out of me. I'm all for affordable pedals and yes circuits get copied all the time. But at least try to make it look somewhat different. Like my Mooer E-Lady is an electric mistress clone but at least it doesn't look like an electric mistress. Or my old Caline Pegasus is clearly a Klone but they at least chose a different mythological creature. That pedal was crap though. Got a TC Zeus when they first came out and that solved my needs for a Klone. Under $100 and still sounds good.
 
Haven’t bought anything for a long time but decided to spontaneous buy a Friedman IR-D. All the demos sound good and I have grown a bitter hate towards my Walrus ACS1…. Although it sounds good enough… I have unleashed my grumpy old fart bitterness towards it… and if it’s one thing we do know. Once old fart grumpiness has entered an equation, it doesn’t go away.
 
And a week later I have now ordered the Tone King Imperial Preamp pedal. That will ship out tomorrow and will be coming with 2 day shipping so I should have it in about 3 days. Everything I have ordered since the beginning of November has taken a much longer time to get to me for some reason. I used to get stuff from the West coast in 3 days. Now it takes between 7 and 9 days to get stuff from there. It looks like everything just sets in a building there for three days or so before it starts moving. I have had this with FedEx and USPS. I am currently experiencing it with UPS so that is all three of the bigger shippers that people use. Something has definitely chagned.

I also realized that some of these pedals that I am planning on putting on my board draw more power than what my Pedal Power 2 Plus can provide. It only has 2, 500 ma 9v ports. I need 3. So, I ordered a Pedal Power 3 Plus to replace it on one of my boards. I will decide which board I am going to build out once that gets here. I have 2 boards to choose from. The new power supply has more ports than my old one. I just don't know how much I may need to modify the board to mount it yet.
