PedalSmarts - a pedal recommendation app using crowdsourcing

Post by shaym2 »

Hey! I made this app and hoping for some feedback:
https://pedalsmarts.app

How it works:
1) input your current pedals in the app.
2) discover pedals other guitarists are using with your existing pedals.
3_ click any of them and listen to sound samples / see common settings / best prices.

You can also save and share your board, this is mine:

Happy for any feedback!

It appears to be a non boner joke alternative. I am perplexed that anyone would want that.

Maybe the app will have an "auto-boner" feature? :surprise:

Chank, you old geezer. We don't need to interact with other humans anymore, just become a screen-tapping gear slut voyeur, prying on the toan of your favorite hash tag Instagram influencers you actually know nothing about on a personal level. The future is now.

It's also missing huge numbers of things.

I can't make half my effects chain and then some!

My pedalboard costs approximately 191 Metal Zones.

Forums will eventually disappear anyway. No need to hasten their demise before their time's up. :whateva: :lol: :snax:

It didn’t have the first pedal I searched for.

Also, isn’t 90% of the fun of this stuff in the hunting/researching “new” sounds?

Thanks for checking it out.
I believe it is supplemental to the forum rather than a replacement, because the app sources the data of thousands of pedalboards that share at least one of your pedal. This kind of reach and specificity is hard to get in a discussion board.

Regarding missing pedals - are they rare/boutique?

I don't see the relevance of bringing that up, but, hey, fuck you too!

Can the app tell me which pedz I can flip for the most on Reverb? I'm interested in preorders only, followed by listing before said pedals are even in hand. Better yet, is there a way the app can let me drop ship?
