Watch Me Try To Give 5 Star Reviews To The Cheapest Pedals On Amazon. I Tried…


Here are the rules of the game!
I bought the 5 cheapest pedals amazon has to offer. The catch is, I HAVE TO find a sound I like in each of them and give them a good rating. This goes EXACTLY as you expect it to go: poorly. Let’s have fun!

  • I thought out of all the pedals the chorus was my favorite. I think it sounded the most true to what it is supposed to be.

  • I've bought a ton of these cheap pedals and the only one sitting in a box not getting used is the Ultimate Drive because it's TERRIBLE. It's so bottom heavy. Maybe I should try it with an EQ to take some of that low end out.

  • I have a few of the AZOR pedals (White Pure Boost and Black Reverb) running through the FX LOOP of my DSL40CR, and while they aren't GREAT, for the price (~$25-30/ea) they are absolutely fantastic. Added bonus, they take up such little real estate on my board.

  • You have made very happy to one-man 5-companies by buying those pedals. Their stock went up high rocketing.

  • My expectations for these pedals were lower than the frets on your firebird, but this video has me dying.

  • Tone City Pedals are pretty good inexpensive entry level pedals and do what they are supposed to.

  • It is raining here and I was having the blues until I watched this video and laughed my butt off. This is why you should buy from reputable builders, then a tremolo is not a distortion.???? For a moment I thought you would have to add up all 5 pedals ratings to get 5 stars total. The ultimate drive was horse fart????The analog delay broke the mold was actually a usable pedal and a solid bulid construction, and the chorus. Loved the I tried ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

  • I remember when I first started playing and wanted some pedals. I kept wondering why I sounded like a bag of dicks. ???? this sucks ????????

  • Hi Buddy, I can offer some clarity on some questions you have in the video. I am an experienced pedal maker and have insight into the industry in China. The reason these pedals all have a mid-hump is because they all source their circuitry from the same factory in Shenzhen China (address M4GF+JV4, Hua'nanyi Ave, Longgang, Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, China, 518111, maps link: https://maps.app.goo.gl/Z7hDeZsgWC5tDQEe7) where I’ve visited many times. Specifically the diodes are made in a separate department and around 5 years ago was taken over by a gentleman named Mr. Zhāng Wěi. He is obsessed with cost cutting and ever since he took over, he has standardized the cheapest diodes over to all of his customers and went for the cheapest silica he could find. He spends hours in the evening soldering and putting together circuitry himself so as not to hire an extra person and still try to keep up with demand and add to that he’s really terrible at soldering. I am 100% making everything up but I thought I would at least give you some answers.

  • Buddy Blues, making the best of the worst. He can make a tin can sound good, don't let him fool you.

  • Definitely a bunch of crap pedals in the bunch. Perhaps you should have done a bit of research before choosing pedals at random. One that you should try is the Rowin Dumbler. It's definitely worth buying, IMO.

  • Hi Buddy… I’ve also been burned on pedals from Amazon. I’ve returned so many it’s unbelievable. ????

  • Entertaining video. The pedals suck but who cares, you're a funny guy and a fantastic player. I'm surprised you don't have more subs!
