Websites to lurk at, looking for cool pedals and gear:

[Lumpy]

http://ilovefuzz.com/
(Buy/Sell/Trade forum. Lots of indie rockers there - they love fuzz and weird pedals. Totally useful 'regular' pedals can often be found for cheap here, too)

http://www.talkbass.com/
(Ridiculous amount of gear turnover here in the Classifieds, of all types - amps, pedals, basses, etc... this one has been extremely useful to me)

http://stompboxes.co.uk/forum/index.php
(D*A*M forum, Buy/Sell/Trade. Hard to find good deals - everybody wants top dollar, and stuff gets snapped up. Still, fun place to look, with some rare stuff trading hands)

http://acapella.harmony-central.com/forumdisplay.php?29-Effects&s=d8dbac64979fbf0cc5ac6ef7b21c15a9
(Harmony Central "Effects" forum. Look for the top stickied thread "READ THE RULES OR GET BANNED - Weekly spam thread"... some good deals there. Good place to buy and sell)

http://www.guitarsandeffects.com/
(Mostly used guitars here, some pedals. Prices are fair, no steals though. They used to have more oddball stuff, I guess there is more money in the big-name brands)

http://www.musiciansfriend.com/stupid
(Musicians Friend Stupid Deal of the Day. Changes at midnight Pacific Coast time. Worth a daily visit.)

CraigsList is probably the best place to shop for big-ass speaker cabinets - nobody wants to ship them.

I always try to buy used, if possible - if you shop around, you can probably recoup all your money back if you ever decide to sell - sometimes, even more than what you paid. When you buy new, you immediately depreciate the value as soon as you open the box (same way the value of a new car drops, as soon as you drive it off the lot).

Glad to see ya here, Lumpy!

Many of you may already know about this place... Not exactly cheap, but for having lots of cool shit to look at/drool over, I go to www.axeandyoushallreceive.com. The place is a boutique pedal super-emporium.

Andy is the man! He does a really good job of using songs that actually used the effect he's demoing. He throws some obscure stuff in there from time to time, too. Although, I was dissapointed that he didn't use an Atomic Rooster song in the demo of the Atomic Booster. GET WITH THE PROGRAM ANDY!

I meant to post sometime ago in the old forum regarding Tym Guitars doing the OR clones "Lemon"..
They look sweet as to be expected and I'm confident they would crush.
