EU pedals? (lemm.ee)

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!

I can tell you jhs pedals is owned by a religious nut job who is US based so I’d look elsewhere

Agreed, he's a weirdo. I personally like BOSS (Japan, right?), and my fave reverb is Specular Tempus (Indonesia).

Welcome to Lemmy, OP!

After a quick glance I can see why. That looks awesome!

Thanks for the welcome :)

Oh really? I had no idea. That’s a shame! Is it the guy who does all their videos? What variety of religious but job out curiosity?

I was already hoping to look elsewhere, so even more reason!

He’s some sort of Christian, there were a bunch of threads from the old site about how he acted online and stuff and treated small builders etc… some of the finer details escape me.

Ah I see. That’s really disappointing all around ..

Bummer. I felt he had a strange vibe in general, but I kind of thought the dude seemed alright when I was watching his pedal modding videos...

Kinda curious where you got the but job part from. I watched a lot of his content on YouTube and knew he was religious, but a lot of americans are, so I didn't thought anything about it.

But yeah definitely American based.
