May The Power of Pedals Compel Thee!
The cabinet of mystery awaits.....
There’s a glorious kind of alchemy happening at Musicmaker right now. A wild, wonderful stash of pre-owned effects pedals has rolled in, and it’s bursting with stories, soul, and savage tone. This isn’t your run-of-the-mill rummage — it’s a curated collection of gritty veterans, boutique beasts, and tone-sculpting legends.
Whether you're hunting down that elusive tone, looking to spice up your signal chain, or just want gear with character, there's never been a better time to dive into the beautiful madness of second-hand stompboxes. And best of all? You can pick up tone royalty without emptying your gig fund.
Let’s crank it up and meet the headliners.
T-Rex Bloody Mary Distortion Pedal
Heavy is an understatement.
This beast doesn’t whisper — it roars. The T-Rex Bloody Mary is the kind of distortion pedal that turns a whisper of gain into a thunderclap of tone. Think thick, meaty distortion with Scandinavian precision. Perfect for metalheads, punk rockers, and anyone who likes their riffs nasty and unapologetic.
With intuitive tone shaping (Bass, Mid, Treble, Gain, Level and a ‘Body’ toggle for added boom), this Danish darling lets you fine-tune your dirt from gnarly grind to full-stack obliteration. It’s the aural equivalent of a flaming hot vindaloo with an espresso chaser.
Status: On the shelf and ready to cause a ruckus.
TC Electronic JUNE-60 Chorus Pedal
Vintage vibes, retro realness.
Channelling the spirit of the '80s straight into your rig, the JUNE-60 is pure nostalgic nectar. Inspired by the legendary Roland Juno-60 synth, this pedal’s chorus is thick, warm and gloriously woozy — like swimming through a neon dreamscape in leg warmers.
With two push-button modes, stereo outs, and true analog circuitry, this box is a ticket to dream-pop paradise or alt-rock swirl depending on how deep you dive. Stick it after your drive pedal and melt faces gently.
Fun fact: It even looks like it was smuggled out of a DeLorean.
Death By Audio Soundwave Breakdown
Chaotic evil in pedal form.
This isn’t just a fuzz pedal. It’s an unpredictable, glorious noise grenade. The Soundwave Breakdown is what happens when fuzz goes feral and refuses to be tamed. Designed by the sonic misfits at Death By Audio, this thing turns traditional distortion on its head.
Expect synthy squawks, feedback tantrums, gated fuzz spasms and textures that sound like a robot uprising scored by Sonic Youth. With a few knobs and endless chaos, it’s a must-have for the bold, the brash, and the beautifully unhinged.
Experimentalists, prepare for lift-off.
MXR M169 Carbon Copy Analog Delay
Your time machine in a box.
The Carbon Copy is a modern classic. It’s warm. It’s lush. It’s analog delay at its absolute best. With up to 600ms of delay time and built-in modulation, this little green wonder is perfect for adding slapback, creating depth, or building massive ambient swells.
Whether you're channelling The Edge, Gilmour, or just want to add some depth to your solos, this pedal is pure sonic butter. And in pre-owned form? Even more delicious.
Bonus points for the Mod switch that lets you add chorusy goodness on top of your repeats.
Tate FX Raise the Dead Fuzz Pedal
Risen from the grave and hungry for riffs.
This boutique Brit-built fuzz pedal has quickly become a cult classic. The Raise the Dead offers vintage-style fuzz that’s rich, reactive, and ready to wail. With just a single knob, you get simplicity — but oh, what glorious filth it controls.
This thing responds beautifully to your playing and your guitar’s volume knob, offering spitty, snarling fuzz that blooms and decays with real character. It’s raw, rowdy, and terrifyingly addictive.
Also: probably haunted. In the best way.
Why Pre-Owned Pedals Hit Different
There’s something magic about second-hand gear. Maybe it’s the stories baked into the circuits. Maybe it’s the unique quirks and battle scars. Or maybe it’s just knowing that you’ve snagged a killer deal on a pedal that’s already proved it can sing.
At Musicmaker, every pre-owned pedal goes through a full check and clean-up before it hits the shop floor. So you get reliability with character — all the mojo, none of the mystery crackles.
It’s not just gear. It’s gear with history, soul, and a few pints under its belt.
