So, it'd be weird if I'm the lucky 1/1000, but has anyone seen reports on forums of a faulty input? Mine came with an input jack that has two ring springs and no tip spring, so it only works with the plug in halfway. I've been emailing them to just send me the correct input jack but they've been really slow to respond. For the price you'd think they'd do a quick test to make sure everything works after it's all boxed up.

When the plug's halfway in though, it sounds killer.

The enclosure is fine with me - the $70 for shipping though ... :wha?:

I'm pretty sure they do test everything, and their support is typically quite good. Give them a couple days and hit 'em up again if you don't hear back.

It's probably a cold solder joint or something stupid simple. If you're comfortable fixing it, it's a stupid easy fix. Otherwise EQD will take care of it I'm sure.


I've had that shit happen with other brands in the past. It's annoying but you can easily solve the issue at least. :)

How much do you think an unopened Life Pedal will go for? How much would you seriously pay? What would you trade for one?
I know someone that has a sealed one. If I acquired it, I would hold on to it for a while and see what it’s worth later on...

You should PM "echorec" and ask. He seems to be the expert on such things. :idk:

An unopened one sold a few days ago on Reverb. It was listed for $550 but sold for less.

They are coming out with more so don't wait too long to trade/sell.

I tried a friend's and it sounds great. If I ever was to come across one I don't think it would live on my board though just because of the size factor.

I am very tempted, but at the same time I do not need one of these at all...
We'll see how I'm feeling tomorrow I guess

These sold out so fast, that I bet almost no one got the bundle. The edition of 300 was sold out by 11:07 (if not a minute or two sooner). ---That was sold through the band's Reverb store. They earmarked another 200 for their touring merch table, but if you wanted the vinyl bundle, you had to go to the record label's Reverb LP store. The direct link was sold out, yet the LP bundle was still live. That could be messy, or it could mean a handful of those final 200 won't make it to the tour, since people have already bought them.

Man, can't believe it already sold out. I was ready to press the trigger. Clicked the link and saw the price with shipping and and second thoughts but then saw it was sold out. Looks beautiful and sure it sounds good but def not bummed. Think I will order the pedalpcb board and see how that sounds....

Unless they add more shipping regions, I think this is strictly for Europe.
