Where do you get your pedals?

[ilansgroove]

So ... how about sharing your favorite stores?!?!
i discovered Invalid Link Removed about a year and a half ago ... and became an addict
great service, never had any issues , NO SALE TAXES !!, love the Chat option to ask questions and negotiate the price and very friendly ...
I live in Paris France and i always get my pedals delivered to a friend in Chicago who is a flight attendant and he brings me my gifts
the only thing is that they don't (and i guess they can't) have everything ... so thats why i'm opening this thread, to find alternatives when my favorite store doesn't have what I want

funny, looking at my "Order History" I realize i could have bought a brand new bass, after my Darkglass B3K and B7K, Source Audio hothand , Orbital modulator and Manta, 3leaf Audio your Doom and Wonderlove, DB11 pedal palette, MXR DC brick .... i have spent way over 2000$ hehehheheheheh

I buy used whenever possible. I'd say at least 80% of my pedals (and both of my basses) were purchased off Ebay. Occasionally I'll find a pedal I want in a random music store.

Try Prymaxe Vintage they always have a sale,the newest pedals in stock and a no-hassle return policy http://www.prymaxevintage.com/

 

[dannybuoy]

Prymaxe are great, they are my first port of call and have (ahem) cheap shipping to the UK too!

 

[Veldar]

Ebay and Gumtree because Australia prices suck and I'm a poor 16 year old.

 

[jetofuj]

For new stuff usually Prymaxe... But I buy a lot of pedals directly from the builders.

Scott is the best.

I go through http://www.bassefx.com unless the manufacturer, like IE, handles sales in-house. Chad is a co-founder of Bass Northwest and has his own online concerns now, bassefx and http://www.thebassshopseattle.com.

I've been buying things from him for a number of years and have nothing but good things to say.

Mostly I look at TB classifieds. That's where I got most of what I have now. If I am buying new I generally go with Musicians Freind or Sweetwater but I hardly ever buy new.

 

[Dave W]

TB classifieds, Prymaxe, GC used, and basically any place that has what I want for a decent price.

 

[Reaper Man]

Mainly the TB classifieds. I did buy new from http://www.fuzzrociouspedals.com and musicians friend as well

 

[MightyMiloQuinn]

I've gotten stuff from the TB classifieds, eBay, and reverb.com mostly. But I've also used Prymaxe, Pro Guitar Shop, ilovefuzz and TGP classifieds once or twice each. Direct sales from the builder are always good, too. I'm not loyal to any form of acquiring pedals, I guess...

 

[FretNoMore]

All over the place; local stores, any online store that has what I want in stock at a good price, directly from builders.

 

[DagoMaino]

TB Classifieds for used and Prymaxe for most of my new items... AMS, Sweetwater, or Amazon for anything else and cable supplies.

Prymaxe is simply great! Good sales, good service!

 

[Nephilymbass]

Everywhere. I've gotten pedals from my local mom and pop store, guitar center, musicians friend, lately mostly from sweetwater(can't beat 24 months zero interest) used, i normally turn to eBay. You can get some as cheap as 1/3 the price on eBay. It's nothing new to get pedals for 30-40 bucks on the bay. But i more often than not buy new stuff. For some reason when i see used gear i think "well they are probably selling it because they don't like it. Or i
Wonder what they are replacing/replaced it with"

 

[mmbongo]

Prymaxe over Rouge for new stuff because of Rouge's lack of return policy. I have used both though.

 

[HolmeBass]

A few used, mostly new directly from the pedal makers if possible, or Prymaxe, then Amazon as a last resort.

I visited Montreal a couple of weekends ago and the two music stores I visited both had amazing pedal inventories in stock, with tons of great boutique pedals like Earthquaker Devices, Dwarfcraft Audio, Mad Scientist, Fairfield Circuitry, and others I've forgotten, plus the industry standard EHX (and LOTS of EHX pedals too, not just a few muffs and POG2s), MXR/Way Huge, and ZVex (but more hand-painted ZVex than I usually see). Why?? Why can't music stores in the US be that awesome? These stores seemed to carry less stock in terms of instruments and especially amps but then more than made up for it with a truly wide selection of pedals. Smart. While GC contemplates closing stores instead of getting a really decent selection of pedals in there.

in addition to those already mentioned; Tunnel Vision Music, JetCity Music, & ProGuitarShop

This is where it's at for me. I don't pay full price from GC, MF, or really anywhere. I'm always looking to see if I can find a good deal on a used item (TB classifieds and GC used, mostly), and if not, if I can get a good discount on a new item through the regular sales/coupons/price negotiation with GC/MF/Prymaxe/Rogue.
