Hi all,

New to Lemmy here, but I like what I’m seeing here! I came in the spirit of moving to buy things from the EU rather than the US and in that vein, I thought I’d start thinking about pedals. Over the past year I’ve been building a pedalboard that I’m quite happy with so far, but the 2/3 of the next pedals I have my eyes on in the long-term are from the US. I was wondering if anyone might have suggestions as to where/what to look for.

I am looking for alternatives either from the EU, or elsewhere other than the US for:

-Low-gain “transparent” overdrive (I was looking at the JHS morning glory)

-phaser pedal (I had been looking at the phase 95 for form factor and I like the phase 45 sound especially)

-a compressor pedal (I did not have anything in particular in mind here, yet).

I won’t buy all these at once, or even in the mediate future most likely, but as i become able to do so, it’s nice to have some ideas in mind.

Any and all advice is appreciated!

    Thanks!

    I’ve got a couple boss ones (a looper which I’m very happy with) and an overdrive (which I appreciate, but just isn’t quite the sound I’m after).

    Are Behringer any good? I’d always felt that it was too cheap to be good, but maybe that’s just a silly bias?

    Thanks for the article— this is great

      The Behringer pedals are identical circuit clones of classic pedals, but in a plastic case. I would not use them to play live, but in a home setup, they are fine.
