Boutique Effect Pedals

Let’s dive into the why and how of breaking the rules—and explore some truly non-traditional routing setups that actually work.

When you're putting together a pedalboard, it’s tempting to focus on the fun stuff—your fuzz, delay, or modulation pedals. But there’s one essential piece of gear that often gets overlooked: the power supply. A common question we hear: “Is there really a difference between a £20 power supply and a £200 one?” The answer is yes—and here's why it matters.

When it comes to shaping your tone, the guitar effects pedal world offers more choices than ever before. Whether you’re stacking drive pedals, sculpting ambient soundscapes with delay and reverb, or experimenting with modulation and fuzz, your options range from mass-produced staples to hand-crafted boutique treasures.
