AmazonBasics effects pedals

Considering the layout, these are Kokko pedals rebranded and sold on Amazon.

 

In fact, Kokko are clones of NUX pedals. This is like a wormhole loop, clones of clones of clones of...

 

The race to the bottom. Fun.

 

I would put more of a positive spin on it. It's a fun and cheap way for beginners on a budget to get into the world of stomp boxes. I don't think anyone is claiming these are tour/studio ready boxes. But not everyone needs that anyway.

Yay for more choices!

 

i have an amazonbasics compressor. it's at least as good as similar sized, similarly priced compressors, and i like it. it's got an all metal chassis which is quite sturdy.

it looks the same as the kokko compressor i bought in 2017, but the kokko didn't deliver much in the way of compression where the amazonbasics does. it's possible the kokko i got was a lemon, but i didn't bother to return or exchange it.

 

Are these cheaper than Behringer?

 

back when I experimented more with pedals, I found you can get fun sounds daisy chaining serval cheapos together, amazopn/nux/koko seem like an affordable way to experiment

 

The analog signal processing that goes into your average effects pedal isn't exactly black magic, and if you need a few basics to mess around with or get you through a few gigs... This can't be a bad thing.

[OT] Btw I have a generic metronome/tuner (branded Donner, but it's sold under every other name too) I got from Amazon for $9. I bought it for the metronome, but realized that the little sucker tunes my Ibanez EHB1505 like a beast, B string and all. Now that's black magic, I mean, there isn't even a headstock to properly attach the clip to So you never know.

 

Do these come with the AmazonBasics "exploding" feature?

 

You're talking to a guy who builds pedals for a living though. I can understand why @rratajski may not be excited.
I picked up a Kmise tremolo for my guitar board earlier this year. It's nothing fancy, but it trems. Not bad for $30. Having it hasn't stopped me from wanting a better trem pedal though.

 

Does it really count as more choices if it's just rebranding the same knockoff stuff that's already available?

And if they put these in bigger housings with fancier graphics, do you think they'll sell well at Whole Foods?

Why spend that much money? Wish has what is probably an identical pedal, for $18 and $20. They do have a slight variation in effect types. Kmise Guitar Effect Pedal Mini Single DC 9V for Electric Guitar with Intensity Rate Control True Bypass | Wish
