One of the defining characteristics of a modern guitar player is the tendency to hoard guitar pedals, and who can blame us? With brands like Electro-Harmonix, Boss, and Strymon releasing new products at a rapid clip, the temptation to add “just one more” stompbox from our gear feed is overwhelmingly high.
So, what do you do when your pedalboard is full and your wallet is empty? Which pedals can you sell quickly to make room for a new effect?
We’ve compiled a list of the fastest-selling pedals in the UK on Reverb right now. These 20 effects are the most in-demand units for Reverb users and can sometimes disappear from the site within hours of being listed. What makes them so desirable? Is it that the majority fall into the sub-£100 bracket and can be picked up on a whim, or are these simply the best effects in their respective categories? Either way, they don't hang around long.
Scroll through the list below to check out the fan favorites, and if you’ve got something from the list below, it might be a good time to sell it on Reverb to fund that new piece of gear you've had your eye on.
