Sound Shoppe shipped very quickly and the pedal was packed well. I'll probably be ordering from them again because a) I have a pedal addiction and b) they have some really cool pedals.

Ezhi & Aka Double Tape T

Prompt shipping, well packed, great pedals. One of the few places — if not the only — that ever has Ezhi & Aka pedals in stock. The Double Tape T is an amazing pedal for all of the craziness it can bring, and it also has a ton of subtlety if you want it, which gives it far more uses for things like sound design.
The stereo version offers much more than the single, in my opinion, and the wet/dry channels are clean with a lot of control over how much of each you’re actually hearing. The touch sensors add another layer of hands-on playability on top of everything else. Highly recommended.

Sound Shoppe is freekin wonderful.

David at sound shoppe is THEE most genuinelly helpful friendly boutique pedal seller in the business. I’ve bought a few pedals from him now and the experience has been the best. Super duper communication and fast shipping . Has the weird stuff I love and amazingly totally went out of his way to make a demo vid for me personally!! That is above and beyond. That’s why sound shoppe RULES and I continue to buy my weird gear there.

Great Experience at Sound Shoppe NYC!

Sound Shoppe NYC has an awesome selection of guitar pedals, and I was especially impressed by their variety of FTelettronica pedals — a brand I’ve been trying to find a U.S. distributor for quite some time. The shipping was super fast. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for unique and high-quality pedals!

I couldn’t be happier with both the pedal and the experience. The pedal sounds absolutely incredible exactly what I was hoping for and even better in person. It’s clear a lot of care went into how it was packed and shipped too; everything arrived quickly, safely, and ready to play.

The store’s communication was excellent from start to finish. Friendly, very responsive, and genuinely helpful. They went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. You can really tell they care about both the gear and their customers.

Great pedal shop with a lot of interesting pedals

I was very impressed with my experience with Sound Shoppe NYC. They offer an amazing selection of boutique pedals and they provide great service. I purchased an Eastern FX XO pedal which was out of stock at other retailers. The pedal shipped immediately and arrived within days. I will definitely be ordering from Sound Shoppe again!
