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!

    EU has quite a lot of builders, for dirt I’m a big fan of analogwise but I’m not sure he’s really got anything “transparent” or low gain.

    You’ve still got jam pedals (who do all of the above), dreadbox (also synths), formula B, cornerstone, FT elettronica, AC noises, inverted cross pedals… There are quite a lot tbh, a good bet is also to check on your local used market website for musical instruments.

      Thanks Nate! I’ll take a look at these. And trust me, I’ve been checking the local used market website daily— but now with loads more to look out for :) appreciate the leads!
