The Southside Pedal Swap Returns!

The last one was such a success that we’ve decided to host another! Get yourself to the Wee Guitar Company in Mount Florida on June 5th to join us nerding out and having fun!

For the uninitiated: a guitar pedal swap is a fun way to swap out some of your older gear while simultaneously trying new stuff, meeting like-minded players and most of all have having FUN!

Space are pretty limited so if you want to attend, I’d recommend grabbing tickets from the link below:

Rules/how it works:

  • Register via Fixr [£3 per person]

  • Bring AT LEAST ONE pedal (minimum trade value £50), no cheap mini effects, multi-fx, Joyo/Behringer – those are all fun but there’s a time and a place for them! MAX 3 pedals per person

  • Lay out your pedals on the table provided and most of all…

  • HAVE FUN!

Tips and Tricks:

1.    TEST your pedal at home BEFORE coming to the swap No gear gremlins, please! If the pedal has been sitting for a while, test it.  Even if it worked last week, TEST it again!  

2. Take a moment to CLEAN your pedals and find the original boxes if you have them.

3. Price tags are handy and help speed up trades. Check Reverb or eBay, get a sense of what your pedal is worth and write it down somewhere!

4. We STRONGLY recommend using PayPal (rather than actual cash) when purchasing as an added layer of protection and peace of mind. 

5. If your pedal requires 12V/18V power, mark it clearly on the pedal and bring the dedicated power supply.  We’ll have power supplies on hand as well.

6. Tell all your friends! The more the merrier!

We will have a small set-up for you to try out any pedals you aren’t sure about but bare in mind that space and time are a premium!
