I can do it in English, Greek, German, Czech, Italian, Dutch, and Spanish (but I only speak the first 3)

I’m really happy with the two belts I’ve bought from Lee river leather in Cork, Ireland. A bit expensive for what I am used to paying for a belt, but after a few years they’re holding up great. Overall worth it to me.

I’ve been seeing thorpy come up a lot! I was actually planning for a while to get a Jam waterfall (chorus) to support a Greek maker a few months back (I’m Greek), but found a used chorus pedal elsewhere that was like 1/4th the price so it was hard to pass up. They’re definitely on my radar

I’ll check our Andy Demos. I’ve had the same problem with actually purchasing a compressor. I’ve heard again and again that the empress is great, but I can’t quite bring myself to spend so much on it.

I did know this about the morning glory/blues breaker lineage. It’s a good point— for quite a while I’d set my heart on MG, but as you pointed out, there’s a whole world out there haha. Appreciate the help!

Oh I’ll check it out! I’m actually headed to the UK a bit later in spring, so could be a good opportunity if I end up liking them.

I’m based in the NL. I’ve gotten quite a few recommendations in my original post from all over, but I’d love to support a smaller builder/brand if you have any other recommendations.

Appreciate it!

EU pedals?

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!
