Gibson Maestro Pedals at GC $40

I picked up the Discoverer Delay and the Compressor. I may go back and get the chorus. I'd love to grab others. I'd be lying if I said they're the best thing I've ever tried, so far they seem to go for a vintage'y almost lo-fi kind of vibe. I dig that, but maybe not everyone would.

I know @andrewsrea has a theory that the market is oversaturated with pedals. That may well be but it doesn't seem to be that they put a ton of effort into marketing these.

If you're looking at their site, I should add you have to go in person. It's probably a loss leader for them.

I'm sure they're hiring someone else to make them, I wonder who really is the manufacturer?

@Tonray's Ghost They say on the bottom that they're made in China. I wouldn't be surprised if Tariffs basically kill this line or at least shift it's production to another country.

I bought this one too. Part of my theory that if I buy stuff when it's on sale I can always sell it if I need to later for what I paid or better:



And BTW, my theory plays out pretty well so far.

A lot of the new Maestro line up seems to be products they didn't have back in the day, but these would be what they were like if they did. Maestro only really had a few original effects which had cred with the musicians, like the FZ-1 and Mutron Phaser.
