No.2 - Fender Johnny Marr Jag - full of melody

Loving the tort guard Warren, where did you get that from? @Wazmeister ;

Mate, the previous owner fitted it. I've since changed the knobs and trem end piece

My Freakish Blues Alpha Drive knocked the Joyo Ultimate Drive off my board.

@Wazmeister nice although I have no problem with the stock trem and knobs. Only changes I’d make would be a tort guard, stay trem bridge and setup for 11s. And wouldn’t be sure about the guard if it was an oly white model. Either way, yours looks great!

Empress Tremolo is my favourite thing that I've bought this year.

I also find the Whammy DT I bought this year really useful when gigging. It's done away with my need for a capo and a drop-tuned guitar, which makes my life 1000times easier

The only pedal I bought this year is a DOD Carcosa. It's really good - another DOD/ Digitech win.

lovebuzz · December 2017

probably the EHX Super Pulsar tremolo. ultimate tremolo. does more stuff that you'd spec.

antifash · December 2017

Gotta be the Sunface NKT. Made me very happy.

The_Ethical · December 2017

Has to be the Digitech Trio+ for me. Such a versatile and useful pedal for practice, songwriting and OMB or OGB work. Mid-priced but such excellent value for money. Go and buy one now if you don't already own one!

My runner up is the Digitech Freqout. An amazing artificial feedback creator that works at bedroom or stage volume. Lots of options available without becoming too fiddly. Playability is great and it doesn't rely on you finding a sweet spot in the room.

Disclaimer: I'm not affiliated or associated with Digitech in any way. It just happened that they produced two exceptional pedals this year and I can't wait to see what they come up with in 2018.

Another very late entry.

Arrived from Italy; posted on the Monday, arrived on the Tuesday !!!

The superb, and totally unbeatable PTD Mini Bone.

Made up to have scored this...

My pick of the year is the Effectrode LA-1A leveling amplifier. I probably won't ever turn it off.

Honorable mention also for the DOD rubberneck delay which gets close the sound of an MF104 for a fraction of the price.

Biggest disappointment was the Gurus Echosex 2 T7E, which is being returned for a refund.

Teetonetal · December 2017

@damm73 really? I'm a big gurus fan and had that pedal high up my to try list.. what's up with it?

So very true

Beexter · December 2017

AX8 for me. Amazing bit of kit.

slacker · December 2017

Until this year I bought 2 pedals in the last 10 or so years. This year I bought 4. 3 of them could rate as pedal of the year.

Friedman be first overdrive since my klon in 07. Amazing at home and so much gain.
Mel 9 simply opens up more songs on guitar love playing elbow on the string patch as a warm up.
Red panda reverb, no frills lovely sounding reverb with a delay setting, opens up the sound.

And the runner up...fulltone trem I haven't used it much but you can get lost in the sound, 3 switches make it very usable live.

I need to revisit mine. I didn't enjoy it at all.

DopeFX Black Lotus! I was going to say my Boss MS-3, which has had a fairly dramatic impact on my pedal board. But checking on the date, and right back at the beginning of January I bought a DopeFX Black Lotus overdrive from @DesVegas - and suddenly (on it's own, also pushed with a Turbo Rat) I had the lead tones I'd been trying to achieve for years on tap, amazing.

I really like the 1959DD but the T7E didn't live up to my expectations for such an expensive pedal. I'll try and do a wee review and maybe post some sound clips since there are so few of them about.

What didn't you like?
Other than the modulation being on a hair trigger I've had no grumbles what so ever. Nice dark repeats, tone control, Regen, and dialable grit etc

Howdy, Stranger!
