MESSE12: Greenhouse Effects Boutique Pedals

Boutique Pedals from Israel   31-Mar-12

After finding out that Dan from Gigrig was going to be at the loopersparadise booth, I thought I'd better get down there sharpish. Naturally I got there about an hour early and decided to take a look at some of the pedals on display. A lot of very expensive looking boutique pedals from some well known and not so well known companies.

The board that took my eye was made by Greenhouse Effects, an Israeli company with an eye for the dramatic. On display were 7 very attractive looking pedals, each with its own unique design and sound. Each pedal has a member of the 27 club on it. This led me to feel slightly disappointed with myself as I was unable to spot this until about halfway through the conversation I had with Roy when I noticed the name of the chorus and was able to not only put 2 and 2 together, but to actually come up with 4.

They sound as good as they look and they aren't your standard run of the mill generic pedals in a pretty box. A lot of thought has gone into the production and design of these, not to mention the sound.

They retail at around $185 and although there are no distributors in the UK yet I'm sure it won't be long until these appear on a website near you.
