There's no doubt about it; the effects pedal (opens in new tab) market is huge and it's getting bigger. It's now become normal to see £200 overdrive pedals (opens in new tab) on sale, while players are enjoying the benefits of incredible entry level value too .

The Pedal Move is set for release on streaming platforms early next year. For more info, head to reverb.com (opens in new tab)
