Wait, what... Amazon basics effects pedals?

Behringer has a new competitor I guess…

They’re going to make everything before long if we’re not careful

I believe they’re rebadged Chinese micro pedals that have been available for a long time, both on Amazon and elsewhere. I have the grey ‘Kokko Compressor’ which looks exactly the same as the Amazon Basics compressor. It’s actually a competent clone of a classic MXR Dyna Comp circuit. I’m a guitar-nerd at heart so I research these things in great depth haha.

Will they start selling Amazon guitars now too ?

I wonder if they add value, or is it just a rebadge ?

Thomann has their own labeled products but I think they take a level of control of those products.

ADDED : Sears is probably an early example of this, in 1916 they bought Harmony Guitars to make their own line later labeled Silvertone. Sears guitars made music history, for instance Muddy Waters played a Sears Stella guitar.

if people don’t like them they won’t continue to make them but if they make them good and people like them, then won’t it be a good thing?

They’re OEM, rebadged and made by NUX, a week ago there was a JHS pedals YouTube video about them… this (and also cloning) has happened since the first ever pedal

Ricky Tinez’s video about it made me laugh.
Even if it’s written in the manual that “the mix knob is a mix knob”, it’s, actually…not a mix knob :upside_down_face:

I read this is all part of Amazons masterplan, they look for best sellers on their market with good returns and easily copied and straight up manufacture basic copies.

I don’t think they’re manufacturing them though, these are just re-badged budget pedals from China. Just search for compressor pedal on Amazon, you’ll see the same pedal a bunch of times with different brand names on it; Nux, Kokko, Flatsons etc., now Amazon.

Amazon is bad, m’kay

Had anyone saw the « autofac » episode of « electric dreams » produced by … amazon?? Great thing to see…

I get it, Amazon are evil, but how does them putting their own decals on pedals that already exist and have been on sale for years in various guises constitute them taking over the world?

It’s a bit of an exaggeration, to say the least…

These pedals have little amazon workers in them manually calculating math for the delay effects.
