Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Bought a couple of NUX pedals. Both transactions were smooth, delivery was fast and the price was very good. The pedals are great too. Highly recommended.

There are only a few places I've found to buy the cheaper Chinese pedals…mostly straight from china or via amazon. But buying from Affordaboard meant supporting a small uk business. Plus the delivery... See more

Goes up to 11!

I made my first purchase with Affordaboard.co.uk just last week, I got NUX's Analogue Delay & Damp Reverb pedals, as well as the Demonfx Compressor (and some extra patch cables).
I already had; overdrive, distortion, noise gate, cry baby wah and the Whammy, so I was specifically looking for a compressor, reverb and delay - and I'm very happy to say I'm not disappointed.

These are great pedals, and the price point pushes that further into 'fantastic' territory. They all sound great and definitely enhance my overall tone and / or add extra layers to solos.

The knobs turn with just the right amount of resistance for me, different on each pedal, but all in the right amount so I can make quick and accurate adjustments without worrying about overshooting.
I have some dexterity issues, so it's important to me that I know I can make quick on-the-fly adjustments.

I liked that a couple of these pedals had some extra features that I've not seen in pedals of this price range.

The reverb can be switched between mono and stereo outputs by holding the reverb type button when powering the pedal, and it also has a USB-C socket, which is only used for updating the pedal's firmware (I've not tried that yet).

It also has 'hold' effects which you activate by holding down the bypass whilst the pedal is active; plate - shimmer effect, spring - freeze effect, hall - freeze effect.

Shimmer is like a sparkly digital noise which builds the longer you hold.
Freeze captures and holds the reverb pitch that it captures and loops, and lets it 'ring' for as long as you hold down bypass - it sounds like a single held note coming from a pipe organ being played in a large hall, and you can play over the top of it too.

The compressor's little extra was a clipping knob, in addition to the regular attack, sustain and level - it's a really nice feature to have if you want to add a little grit.

The shipping was fast, despite one pedal being delayed by 24 hrs (due to circumstances outside of Affordaboard's control) - but the business owner, James, contacted me to let me know in advance.

We had a good chat on the phone, James is very knowledgeable, and he also told me about him developing Affordaboard's own range of pedals - which I will definitely be checking out!

I also learnt that Affordaboard is a local (to me) business. My neighbour is a guitarist too, so I sent him the store's weblink. He also bought a compressor, ordered the same day I ordered mine, and he's very happy with it too.

Thanks James, I'm eagerly awaiting the release of your own range of pedals!

PEDAL FRIENDLY

This online seller of affordable effects pedals is a great place start your journey, particularly if you're unfamiliar with the diversity of the marketplace. The website is easy to navigate and the range of products is comprehensive. James Bragg should be supported as he fills an important gap in providing a one-stop-shop for budget pedals.
Highly recommended.

Great pedals & service

Bought a Mosky Big Fuzz (crazy, but good fun!) a while ago and a Demonfx Ghost reverb last week. Both great pedals. Brilliant service & fantastic prices too.

Demon FX Chorus

Demon FX Chorus, delivered like next day, super fast. Cheap and chips but sounds like steak'n'lobster.

The only place to buy pedals

First time buyer from Affordaboard, brought the Demonfx Gravity, absolutely amazing pedal, instant John Mayer tones through my Fender Hot Rod Deluxe. Will definitely be buying more pedals from here in the future.

Mouth watering guitar pedals at jaw dropping prices

Simply put the absolute best website I've ever found for guitar pedals. A huge range that seems to be regularly expanding with exciting new products. Prices that are too good to be true and quick, secure, well packaged shipping of product, what's not to like?

The only place to shop for pedals on a budget

Used Affordaboard three times now and each time they’ve been fantastic. The customer service is second to none, dispatch times are lightning quick and the pedals are sent out with free delivery. Any advice offered is unbiased and genuine.
I can’t rate Affordaboard highly enough.

Excellent website and service

I made a purchase of three affordable pedals for an event I was playing at; I needed a couple of overdrives and a chorus pedal but didn't want to break the bank. Finding what I wanted was easy and straightforward on the website, and the pedals arrived after just a few days, in excellent packaging.

Best place for pedals

Small UK based company, Been buying pedals from the start of their company and its the best place for affordable pedals....
The prices for demonfx and mosky and a few other brand have been second to none and provided a service no one else has been offering…usless you bought from china or amazon which usual worked out more expensive especially amazon.
Super fast delivery time with free shipping, great communication via email, and great range of pedals, keeping up with all the new releases from demonfx and others

I have bought more than 65 pedals from them, and I have had zero issues....great company and I hope they continue to grow.

Great website

Great website! Great budget friendly pedals! Takes a couple of days from ordering to arriving. A majority of the pedals I got on my current board are from affordaboard, with a a few more I need still on my wish list. Highly recommended for guitar or bass players who need pedals but on a budget.
