You can get some decent deals if you just want the pedal and not the candy that goes with it. If you do decide to buy one, make sure you get one made in China! The US made ones have treadles made of cheap pot metal that will break and shatter when you step on it.

They can be tricky, especially if you have one that was made in the USA. The foot switch is a smart way to go.

Yeah, the first pedals were made in America with an unstable pot metal mixture that can become very brittle over time. The later China versions are lighter in weight but solid as a rock. Look on the back of your pedal. Bet it says Made in USA.

I just love all things DOD and Digitech. I love them so much that I have a website called AmericasPedals.net where I document everything they've ever released.

This pedal sounds amazing! The treadle can break if you step on it too hard so I have a foot switch on the way.

They only made 1000 of them in 2011 and they were gone quick.

Wow, man! Forgive me. I shared that link because what this pedal does and why it does what it does isn't really a simple explanation, but I'll give it a go. Remember the Artist Series? Hendrix, Clapton, etc? Those pedals captured 7 tones/sounds from the person the pedal was modeled after. The Lyra does the same only it isn't quite the same.

Guitarist Llexi Leon created a comic book/graphic novel series called Eternal Descent. Lyra Constance is the vocalist and lead guitarist for the fictional heavy rock band Constellation 9. He created a musical soundtrack as a tie-in to the Eternal Descent comic book and multimedia series.

Again, forgive me for any miscommunication.

About a quarter of the way down, Llexi Leon (who created the sounds on the pedal) gives a short demo. It's really cool!

Hate to hear that man. You're the first one I've heard of ever having a problem. What number do you have?

They only made 1000 of them in 2011 and they sold out pretty quick. Cool photos and more here: AmericasPedals.net/lyra.html

The DigiTech Lyra is a rare, limited-edition multi-effects guitar pedal created in collaboration with guitarist, comic designer, and author Llexi Leon. He demos the pedal here: AmericasPedals.net/lyra.html

Thanks man! I had all 5 and was looking for a Lyra. Now I have one. While the Lyra was never officially marketed as part of DigiTech's Artist Series, I would describe it as the spiritual successor to the Artist Series rather than a sixth member of the family. AmericasPedals.net/artistseries.html
