Reverb's Best Selling Effects Pedals For 2025

[la szum]

2025 Was The Revenge of The Rockman!

Pretty neat to see what sells and what doesn't. The classics will always be classics.

I bought one on the list-Bros Am. awesome pedal. Pretty Amazing to see that Tone King Imperial pre amp that high given the price. Hear amazing things about it. Need to try one at some point.

I bought 3 of the pedals on the "new" list:

Brothers AM
TK Imperial Preamp
NOTADÜMBLE

All of them exceeded my expectations.

Lol, I have 70 pedals, many classics and a few pricey ones, but the only one that's in the list screenshot is a broken DS-1 that I got for free. I must be in the ultra-niche hipster elite.

 

[primeholy]

I don’t own any of those

 

[keef]

I don't have any from the list. That's alright.

Did we consider that these are actually the most disliked pedals, because people didn't enjoy them and kept moving them on, over and over again?

Fair point there!

I love my Tone King Imperial Preamp pedal. And I’m not too cool to be glad it’s on the “New for 2025” list, since that may indicate that a lot of other people have enjoyed theirs as much as I’ve enjoyed mine.

I really like mine as well.

I think all of these pedals (and a lot more) are buyer-driven in their sales numbers? I can't imagine ever having trouble finding a used Tubescreamer or SD-1 for sale on Reverb but neither of those make the list, for example.

The Stomp and Iridium make sense -- the nature of modeler curiosity/knee-jerk-hatred. The Blues Drive surprises me -- maybe its a matter of if you want a Blues Driver you get a Blues Driver where it would take some math just to figure out how many Ibanez Tube Screamers were sold, much less other clones, not even getting into modded variants.

$300 for a Timeline, honestly, is a pretty solid deal, even as long in the tooth as that thing is.

Fair!

It was that Rockman pedal in the top number 1 spot that made me suspicious.

 

[FuzzyAce]

I'd forgotten about the Rockman pedal.
Meant to get one but got distracted!

 

[Boudoir Guitar]

That’s the list of “new” right? Makes sense

Ah, I see - “new to 2025”, not necessarily “new”. Rockman absolutely makes sense in that context

I moved mine on!

What happened, was it too much valve tone goodness or did the AM4 have something to do with it?
