Best pedal you've bought under £50?

[Yorkshire Bottom End]

Mine - TC Electronic Spark Booster. Full size.

 

(Acutally it was free because I got an Amazon voucher for Christmas!)

Behringer BDI21, a great pedal, not just for the money, sounds great, ideal backup to have in the bag for those just in case moments.

I’ll see your BDI21 and raise you the ADI21. It’s behringer’s  Paradriver clone and it’s brilliant.

 

I also picked up a DHA VT1 dual custom in need of some TLC from the ‘bay for £50 that eclipses everything. Took me about 6 months of careful circuit tracing and building an active eq circuit for it but it’s easily my best £50 purchase.

I’ll have to check those out, didn’t know they did a Para Driver clone as well.

EHX bass soul food - £49 new when I bought it

Sadowsky SBP-2 preamp pedal, a bargain at £50 in the classifieds.

 

So good it almost makes my £200 bass sound like a Sadowsky.

Boss Brown Bass Limiter LM-2B 

 

Boss Brown Bass Parametric EQ PQ-3B

 

probably cheating with the time frame but I got the Limiter ( my third one) less than 12 months ago IIRC 

[Zbysek]

Nobels ODR mini

TC Spark

Errr, I started playing in about 1986 so I've had loads of sub £50 brilliant pedals as hardly anything went over £50 then!

 

f*** I'm getting old!

Joyo Korg-a-like Tuner

(As the Behringer Beadyeye has already been mentioned...)

 

But if you want a real bargain for under £50 i've got a Zoom B1on and a B1XOn both FS in the Classified section 😉

I've got an AD121, thought it was for electro acoustic guitar

I've used a Zoom B1on for years, prefer them to the B1 four, in fact I recently bought a back up B1on off here and sold my B1 four

Was the BDI21 but currently the Valeton GP-5 which cost £39 on Amazon.

TC Spectracomp. I much prefer it to the big box Cali, FEA Opti and many other super expensive alternatives.
