"Effects pedals."

I'm a bit out of touch with the market and I'd prefer to keep my lovely old Demon amp than go for a confangled new one with gadgety stuff.

So:

Where do/would you get your pedals from?

How much is a good price?

Is it worth getting new ones or keeping my (ancient) ones which are broken and trying to get them fixed?

Thanks in Advance,
Clazon.

I think you can get them for about £150 now.
It's worth it if you want pitchshifting that much and it definitely sounds a LOT better than the pitch/harmony effects on my GT6.

Anybody who has a Cry Baby, can you do me a really, really, super huge favour and open up the underside of it and see if you can see a wire with a metal square on the end that has a circle going through it. Or see if you can see a tiny plastic box thing on the end of a wire?

It would be a huge help if you could.

Try them in a shop, buy them there if the price is right.
Or, try them in a shop, then buy online.

Well, it depends on what it is...

Ancient could get you money. A lot of people are obsessed with buying vintage effects when in reality there's usually very little difference between the originals and the reissues.

They're easy enough to make. Go play with electrics.

Exactly.

:(

I have Boss and Cry Baby stuff, but it's all breaking and shops charge the earth to fix it, or the earth to get the equivalents.

You can get them pretty cheap most places online. Boss used to be the daddy, don't know about now. Can't believe how expensive shops sell them for though.
