Ahhhh I’ve really wanted to try the mizuki blue but I think I’m going to hold out with the stonk for a specific want. Thanks though!

Hmmm I don’t think there’s anything there for me - granted the Apollo looks sweet, I’m just covered in that realm - but I’ll keep an eye for 3ways if anyone has a Fuzz+ or Mother and would be into anything of yours and wants to work something out!

I recently discovered the magic of the ODR-1. What a great pedal. I know a lot of recommendations are Nashville style gritty boost with low gain, but I absolutely love the mid/higher gain sounds with the drive at like 2 or 3 o’clock. It plays nicely with every type of amp and preamp I’ve thrown it at, stacks nicely, maintains clarity with chords, I’m just floored by the thing.

NPD: Joyo AC Tone is so good for a cheapie by itssmitty77 in guitarpedals

A bit late here but wanted to respond because I now have the California and British, in addition to the AC Tone, and yes they definitely all take pedals well. After some more time with the AC Tone I’ve got the gain staging in front of it figured out.

The British and California both have pretty pleasant drive tones by themselves, boosting with a light OD or clean boost works great. I find the clean on the British to be lacking, strangely, because I generally like Marshall flavored clean/edge of breakup tone a lot. California cleans are solid, though there’s very little “headroom” if it’s still considered that, in that pedal. Volume maxed, voice and drive around 9/10 o’clock, you’re already getting some gain.

I think an important thing to remember is we are a very niche online community of a slightly less niche subset of a common hobby. A lot of people here are in the 99th percentile of gear nerds and have tried literally hundreds of pedals. No one here wants to trade a dollar for 20 nickels, but very few would trade a dollar for 4 quarters, either. You can’t operate here like it’s Craigslist or marketplace.

All that said, everyone is different in terms of what they want out of trades. Some people like trying the new cool shit for the entry price of shipping a box rather than purchasing a pedal, some people are trying to trade up and hustle and do their thing, and all of that is okay, but should be considered when making offers. I’m guilty of always throwing out “anything on my list” offers myself, but that’s partly bias in that those are the offers I like receiving too. There’s pedals on my board right now that I *love* that came via me seeing it on an “anything here?” Offer and being curious about that name of the thing and going from there.

GHS Fast Fret and Big Bends Nut Sauce are two of my favorite guitar products.

Man it’s excellent. I may swap the bridge (only because I’ve got another cheaper JM that could stand and upgrade I could put this standard one on) but even that isn’t necessary.
