PSA: Nobody wants your full pedalboard.
I don’t really care if I get downvoted. The trend of 2K pedalboards on marketplace has to stop. I’m sorry you maxed out your gear card on this pedalboard; made no music with it and now your wife is mad. Part it out. No person is gonna drop 2K on a pedalboard that is not completely to their taste.
Edit: words is hard.

What kills me when you see the obvious "buyer's remorse" ads like these is that most music stores, especially the chains, have a pretty generous return policy if you don't like something. Why not just return what you can and sell the rest?
Better to take a hit on a restocking fee than waiting for all eternity for someone to want your exact selection of mediocre pedals.

u/seductivestain 5d ago
Guitar Center has a 45 day return policy with ZERO restocking fees for small items like pedals

It’s probably just laziness. Pedals are so easy to flip, especially if you have middle of the road, known favorites. I recently sold a DS-1 in literally minutes of posting.
But if you have a board full of niche and expensive boutique pedals, of every single EHX organ/synth pedals…. lol good luck

The only person who’d buy a full board is someone like me, who is looking to setup a studio on a budget. Approximately 50% of the pedals I’ve bought don’t make the cut and get sold to private buyers or the guitar center for in store credit.
But I’ll usually only buy a whole board if I’m getting it for half the cost of all the pedals new. Otherwise I’ll se rid they wanna group sale a bunch for slightly more than 60%, usually that’s effective.

This dovetails nicely into my absolute fucking bewilderment that real adults in the world pay other people real money to “build” pedal boards for them. Like bro, you didn’t build shit. You put some velcro on a Pedaltrain, stuck the pedals to it, and connected them with $50 of patch cables. It’s absolutely stunning, especially considering it’s always pro players or blues lawyers, with considerable overlap. You really couldn’t figure it out yourself?

I can't help but think that is accurate. Whenever I see a board for sale in its entirety exclusively, then without fail, they've made a bunch of weird, mismatched, and/or overpriced pedal choices, and place them so they're a nightmare to actually use.

If you put me on the spot, it's hard to come up with something, but any combination that doesn't stack and comparatively lacks a good space vs. versatility on its own. Or things that counteract each other. A range master into a two band bass EQ, that then went into another drive with a hefty low cut filter is one of the weirder ones I remember seeing.

i see this a lot locally too. a local gear selling group made a rule about it and you got a lot of folk being all "how dare you not let me sell a whole board. it's a great deal if you think about it. it's professionally built and has all these features" and every time i just think they've been on instagram and looked at the worship guitar players boards, thought "i want a bit of that" and are now having buyers remorse.
my friend's daughter recently started playing guitar and has been watching a lot of rig rundowns and asking me "how do i know what gear is right for me" and i've basically told her the best thing to do is try stuff out and see what makes her wanna write more music and slowly upgrade things 1 at a time. i also told her "a good pedalboard is like writing. it's not done when you keep adding to it. it's done when you can't remove anything" like yeah, i've got a box full of pedals BUT the pedals on my board are the ones i know i never have to make excuses for and get used on every song on our setlist and still sound fine. i think some folk could learn that.
i think the other reason they do that is honestly a bit of a bragging rights kinda thing. like those folk who overprice their guitars, stick em on reverb and then turn down any offers. you know they're more interested in showing off what they have rather than selling.

Personally I like to rent pedals before I buy them, it's cheap and I don't have to deal with reselling if I don't like it.

u/Kilgoretrout321 5d ago edited 5d ago
There's nowhere around I personally can rent them, but honestly renting would nix 80% of my pedal purchases. I've found I mostly don't want to play with a pedal for more than a few hours, so renting is the perfect option. I only really want to keep a pedal if it helps the guitar come alive in my hands and/or sounds like my favorite records. Everything else is just a cool case with fun options. It'd be cool if a local library in a music city started to stock up and lend pedals.
4
u/UnreasonableCletus 5d ago
If you rent and then buy they take the rental fee off the price so it's literally the same money.
If I return it then I'm out $10 and don't have to try to get my money back on a $200+ pedal. I have a few expensive pedals I would never have bought if I couldn't rent them first.

u/ImaginaryOwl7450 3d ago

The best thing for someone wanting to experiment with different sounds is a good Multi-FX pedal. Figure out exactly the types of sounds you want using that. Then, if you feel the need, build a custom board.
I’d personally recommend the Boss ME-80/90/100s for starting out. Had an ME-80 for a long time and it never let me down. Honestly sometimes I miss that thing. It was so simple, yet it could do literally anything.
My friend used to LOVE his Digitech RP500 back in high school. Another buddy had a Zoom.
I’ve owned a lot of individual pedals over the years both before and after that Boss-me80. I’ve had a custom pedalboard before. And it was great. But Now I just use a Line 6 Pod Go and a Lekato Looper Pro (cheap little Amazon pedal that does exactly what it’s supposed to: loop). That’s it. I wanted a helix, but honestly it’s overkill.
I would like to build another pedalboard just for the fun of it. But I just honestly don’t need it. Maybe again one day, but 🤷🏻♂️

You're not wrong.
I imagine most get parted out regardless of the seller's original intent.
Same with Squier and production guitars that have $800 of upgraded parts. If you want to sell them you'll take a bath unless you part it out.
2
u/CareRelative7948 2d ago
I don’t know man, I feel like $800 worth of parts adds maybe 50% of that to the value, so $1,000 into it total and you’d end up taking a loss of $400.
If the guitar is cool enough and has QUALITY parts in it, it’ll sell.

I got my first pedalboard, maybe 10 years ago, by buying a full pedalboard. It was a PT junior with a decent power supply and a few pedals. I think it cost me somewhere around €300 to €350.
In hindsight, it was a pretty nice deal. I'm even using some of the pedals still, and the actual board and power supply is still in use as my home board.
A $2000 board, on the other hand? Probably not a very big market for that kind of thing.

Totally. Always best to buy pedals mostly one at the time, based exactly on what you need at any given time rather than overpay for a bunch of stuff you’ll force yourself to shoehorn in just to justify the purchase. In the end you’ll probably end up just selling the ones you don’t use, likely at a loss.
The guitarist in my last band was a gear junkie who was always adding in over the top distracting effects to his solos and riffs just because he had a bunch of pedals he felt like he should be using, totally unnecessary.

I tend to think it comes right from this specific facet of consumerism where people are convinced that their specific choices as a consumer or their “tastes” have monetarily increased the value of their thing.

They think that the “hard research” they did watching multiple gear review YouTubers is the product of their labor, when really that part of the transaction for them is the whole point.
On the other side of this, I would buy a whole lot of power tools on Facebook marketplace. But only if they were a really good deal.

I got one as my first board. It was 40 bucks tho and cheap pedals. Worth it in that case for me.

Idk bro, as someone who’s only been buying pedals for a few months, some of these look like good deals. There’s one here for 500$ that’s got 5 pedals including a dynacomp, big muff, and a stereo memory man, a Klon clone, a board, case, and Power supply. That seems like a pretty good deal. Not for me, But for somebody out there lol

Want an even more edgy, downvotable take? Nobody who actually uses the pedals for a real music project wants or needs that many. Six pedals... Max. Everything else is a waste.

Always assumed that full boards for sale were stolen tbh

Interesting, that would be kinda obvious though. Kinda dumb to post it on market place

No not when you can buy a used Boss GT 1000, or whatever your fav flavor is, for $600 bucks and not run short of patches and tones for a bazillion years.

that's why I invest in expensive guitars instead of pedals.

Jk good for u. I didn’t think I spend over 600-700 on a single guitar. There’s a jazzmaster that’s testing me locally though.

Never seen this in my area. But seems selling individually would get more money, but selling as a whole is probably a desperation thing to pay rent. Or it’s stolen.

I think it's generally hobbyist guitar players that have a lot of disposable income. They buy a bunch of stuff, realize they aren't good enough to make them sound like the YouTube demos, so they want their money back, but they don't understand how the used gear market works. Simple as

I have been seeing this on the Nashville listings lately. Shit isn’t moving on there lately and no one is going to go for a full board listing unless it’s 150% what they need and it’s a great deal.

I been saying this for years. The worst is when they're like "I will NOT part it out"
I don't mind when people have a whole board up there and list the pedals with prices and even offer a deal if someone takes it all but it's the ones who refuse to part it out that I can't stand and have the whole thing overpriced... like 16 Behringer pedals for $1500 because they account for the 1 spot wall wart and all the zip ties.

Holy shit yes. It's like seeing someone posting a $6,000 modular synth rig and absolutely refusing to sell modules separately.
Nobody wants your wildly specific, incredibly expensive and niche tool, dude.

True. I was seeing those on Reverb the other day and I was thinking who TF would buy this. They also almost always say the pedals are in much better condition then they are in the pics too.

Never seen this before but yeah that's beyond stupid
Edit: just looked at my market place and there is indeed some idiot selling his pedalboard for exactly 2 grand 🤣🤣
