WORDS BY NICHOLAS KULA
Greetings again, readers, and allow me to
introduce myself a second time. My name is
Nicholas, and I am sure I’ve played almost
every pedal ever made. Today, I will introduce
you to the long-forgotten pedals in your local
guitar shop that keep markedly away from
their popular boutique brethren.
Unfortunately, pedals change hands so quick
that last generation’s fringe pedals have fallen
by the wayside. Pedals we’ve never heard of
clog up the shelves of pawn shops and momand-pop stores across the countryside, and
most players have lives that don’t permit trying
out every pedal in the world, be it monetary,
time or availability constraints, and perhaps
any number of those.
Thankfully, I’ve worked in a variety of guitar
shops and have played a great deal of
pedals with a wanton disregard for brand
preconceptions or lack of information. As such,
I present to you the eye of my “underrated,
cheap and discontinued” Venn diagram.
