Re: The Best 'Cheap' Pedals
My Rowin Twin Looper arrived yesterday:
Soft buttons are nice.
Seriously small pedal too.
Not bad for $75NZ shipped.
Works just like a TC Ditto X2 but with a few extra FX settings I won't ever use. Soft buttons are nice.
Seriously small pedal too.
Not bad for $75NZ shipped.
Nothing to see here.

Re: The Best 'Cheap' Pedals
Yeah I started using the app when I figured that out. That's pretty much exactly how I do it - gotta be aware of the ones that don't mention shipping though.jeremyb wrote:Do you use the mobile app? theres often mobile only deals going all the time, sort by price, boom!

Re: The Best 'Cheap' Pedals
Haven't had a decent go on the caline OD's yet, but a nice touch is they came with 9V battery to 2.1mm plug adapters, must be no internal battery snaps... Those can be quite handy with mini pedals if you don't have a spare PSU output or daisy chain handy!

I have that and I love it. Mix control so handy.

Re: The Best 'Cheap' Pedals
Aliexpress app... and ready to pull the visa card on a few of these just for larks.
Never done the china buy... aiming for free shipping, seeing pedals for $20-30NZ including free shipping? wtf?
Is this the great China Free Trade Deal? Cause the yanks ain't getting this and seem to be begging for it.

Re: The Best 'Cheap' Pedals
Oops, sorry, my memory managed to cut that price in half!
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Donner- ... 4c4dNUUBBS
It was actually $66US. Still, not bad.
