Cheap Pedals

[rokeros]

Hey do any know suppliers who makes excellent/decent guitar pedals at low costs. Stuff that copy famous pedals e.g. TS-808 and the EA Tremolo etc. But with a profidable price tag of maybe <$100 US, cos I am very interested to know in building my rig.

The only one I know of is

Some of you may have seen me mention it in the past.

There's probably a bunch of people that can help you out on DIY Stompboxes. I'm sure there's a gaggle of builders that can make a clone of anything for you.

and a whole slew of others.

if you want to build your own rig be prepared to learn and shell out alot of cash unless you are super good at getting freebies [i am good at it and i still shelled out alot of cash over the years. and i have gotten free mother boards and cpu's]

if you want someone to build your stuff then well there are as stated tons of people on the diy board.

If you're after things like a tube screamer, make one yourself! you can modify them and its one hell of a lot more satisfyin than buying one

(www.tonepad.com is a good start )

I'd like to build a Tube Screamer, if it's hella easy.

Behringer have a large range of very cheap pedals in plastic boxes. I have not got any, but reviews are good, or bad when they break. Theres a discussion here:

The behringer distortion modeler is good, theres some nice tones to be had there

[rokeros]

I've already build a TS-808. But I don't have the time and patience or torlerence to carry on. Because the tube screamer pissed me off by not working! So then I rewired the perfboard again so then suddenly the transistors died when I transplanted boards, so etcetcetcetc.....NOw I don't want to build. Just buy and play

[Nalo1022]

the digitech Bad Monkey isnt too bad of a pedal forthe money same price as a DS-1 much better sound, sorta tube screamerish

[crafty]

Buy a Boss processor. Plug 'n play, common patches already set up. It'll also run you a lot less that a passle of pedals, too.

The danelectro pedals are allright.

Also, a TS7 ibanez tubescreamer is only like $50 on ebay? Hell, I've bought a couple old TS5's for about $20 and modded them to TS808 specs.

Its all about what you want really though. If you want the satisfaction of saying... 'yes.. i made that tube screamer a-like that sounds better than one you can buy' then make one, if not, dont.
