I am distributing/dealing effects pedals in the EU, currently just a couple brands but we plan to expand when the business starts moving.
Right now, we're doing Fuzzhugger FX, Devi Ever FX and Smallsound/Bigsound... already talking to another ILF brand :) Could be able to reveal it already in August!

EU-wide shipping for decent rates. I know it might look a bit weird that we don't have anything in stock, but we're getting our stock items in September as will you if you purchase now - actually if things go smooth, you might get it in August already - as you know, delivery times vary. However, FEAR NOT - guaranteed 14-day returns where you're out of your pocket only for the returning shipping have your back.

Last not but least... Even if you don't buy anything, I'd appreciate it immensely, as one ILF breau to other ILF breaux if you could like it, invite friends who might be interested to like, and share it. It's mainly word of mouth now and so it's extremely important to spread this over the social networks :) We are only looking upwards now, when sales happen, we'll be able to afford expanding and offer more goods as well as shoot our own videos etc!

Looking forward to doing business with you guys. Excited I can actually help people get good pedals without enduring the customs hassle and such :)

I decided to post this into General Gear as well since I started talking brands with people and that's more gear oriented.

I'm interested what more would you guys like to see us carrying... Both for future possible expansion AND for better idea what'S fly on the old continent :p

so far I got a couple really cool recommendations that I'd love to pursue such as Industrielectric, MASF and Dr. Scientist (whom I wanted anyway already because I'm a fan). While there's space for expansion (money for expansion actually...), it will be hard to choose which way to go. MAKE IT EVEN HARDER AND RECOMMEND MORE STUFF

This is somewhat a given for ILF, but I don't think I could live gear wise without my Fuck Oberdrive. I'd get some smallsound/bigsound over there. I don't know if they already have EU distrobution or not, but I think you could move tons.

SS/BS have three other distributors in EU/UK, but why not support fellow ILFers? :snax:

I've already recommended Industrialectric, as you say, but then again I have 3/4 (wait, are there more?) released pedals from Andrew, so I'm not a potential buyer.

I think Dr. Scientist pedals are ever easier to get your hands on than SS/BS. I mean, you can even get them in Norway (for crazy money, but still...)

MASF would be cool. Also, LAL.

LAL has a Russian distro...never heard anything about anyone buying from them though...they just go direct to Hiro.

paradox effects (mexico), trogotronic, Copilot, Katanasound, a circuit bender dude/lady that makes weird stuff outta stomp boxes, Skeleton Prince/eightytape/In Limbo?, JMT Synths, Ghost, Jimmy Behan/Super electric, just throwing stuff out there beyond the stuff mentioned/stocked.

Good luck man!

Oh word? Off to the races!

Wanna second the Paradox suggestion, and add Death By Audio to the possibilities pile...

Try to become a seppuku FX dealer. You will be immensely popular, but I suspect that it would be a hellish nightmare to work as one

Yeah!

It could be a way to make your store stick out from the crowd having a few dudes who have a pretty high turnover, and then a bunch of more obscure stuff.

We do offer Fuck OD, don't have it in stock, just like the rest, but that will change soon, hopefully :thumb: No one bit the bullet on anything else than Fuzzhugger so far though, which is weird, especially given that 8% discount :idk: But yeah, they do have that. Most companies I've ever heard off are carried by effekt-boutique.de anyway, but we do have cheaper shipping and a couple better deals ;)

thanks man! To be honest - until we have stuff in stock, instagram and twitter are hard to keep active :lol: like the facebook page if you can, that's where most stuff happens right now :)

If I remember correctly my mate is good friends with the Ghost guy :) Not sure if that's really that attractive since UK is in EU, but not the first time I hear the name as a suggestion. Also - thanks

that's sort of why I started with FHfx, DEfx and SS/BS. Would like to add another brand for modulation and delay/verb stuff, things should be discussed in the second half of August because of holidays and such, then try and find the more obscure and unobtanium stuff.


PS: to be honest - we're not shipping OFFICIALLY to Russia, Norway or any other non-EU country. I can make it work if we talk through email, but the webstore doesn't allow to exempt certain countries from VAT, which is a problem. I can create invoices through another site, but not through orders on the official one. So as I told UglyCasanova on FB, he can tell me what he wants and I'll deal with it. Perhaps I'll just pay the provider to incorporate VAT exemption function because it's seriously shit they don't have that...

Alexander Pedals, Old Blood Noise and/or Mr Black to cover that modulation/delay/reverb jones...

Would follow you on the Bookface if I had one, man! :thumb:

Subdecay too (didn't see them mentioned). Don't know how much of a European presence they have but I know they do special runs and neat stuff in the Japanese market.
