I'm looking to sell pedals to more physical stores.

I want to know where you live and if there is a kickass gear shop nearby.

orange county
jims music center (irvine CA)
the guitar shoppe
dooooo it

.

The Starving Musician is awesome. I tried a TGD there but I don't know if it was working correctly (might've been the adapter they used).

jrmy, please feel free to disagree with me, but I think Boston Guitar Works in Brockton, MA is the best place for pedals in New England. They carry Vex, Malekko, Frantone and a crapload of others (actually looks like they have some old E13 stuff there, too)

There are 3 here that I frequent.
Atomic music.

Talk to Eric or Louis.

Rocketeria.

I forgot the owner’s name.

And Chuck Levin’s Washington Music Center.

The best pro shop.

Sadly Chuck passed away and his son runs the business now.

I go to Cream City Music. I've been trying to pimp your wares there for a while now.

Ha! I wish I could disagree with you, bcbc, because it's a pain in the ASS for me to get there (and once when I went up to buy a pedal from them straight-out, they were closed during their posted business hours ... but after I e-mailed them, the owner called me to apologize). But you're kinda right... they are the place for booteek pedals out here.

HOWEVER, I would like to give props to my peeps at B-Sharp: http://www.b-sharpmusic.com/ - they're very picky, and they don't have a lot of room, but they are great guys who offer great stuff and I'd love to see ilf repped there. This is always the first place I check for any kind of equipment, and the only place I go to for repairs anymore. They do have some DBA pedals, and they are an EHX dealer, so they oughta be into the crazy stuff.

Also worth checking out is Empire Guitars: http://www.myspace.com/empireguitars - another small store, but excellent EXCELLENT stock. Not a ton of pedals, but they have expressed interest to me in expanding their line.

Oh, and I live in Providence, RI, which should be ground zero for crazy noisy pedals in New England given all the psych / noise / doom bands out here.

Rockhaus in Milwaukee has some of Devi's stuff there. That place is pretty well-liked in these parts. http://www.rockhaus.com/

In Los Angeles, probably the two main ones are:

True Tone (Santa Monica)
and
The Amp Shop/Bass Exchange (Sherman Oaks)

...also maybe Evol Music (Echo Park) or even Mesa Boogie (Hollywood)

I really really hope Shaun will be opening an Analog Haven shop soon in Santa Monica - it would be the ultimate Pedal Mecca - but I haven't heard anything recently. In any case, you're in there already.
