Hey everyone, I'm new enough to the guitar scene and I've really gotten into pedals, particularly the expensive boutique ones :rolleyes: , and so it got me thinking about pedal rental. would any guitarists be interested in something like that? say 20 quid for 2/3 weeks for a €120 pedal?

I had the same idea in the 90s too but never got the cash together to buy a stock of pedals to rent out. (Not suggesting I was first to have it though)

You'd definitely need to have some safeguards for atm pedals though e.g. a deposit system where customers deposit a good chunk of the pedal cost and get it back when they return it.I

With online payment and 'tinternet I think it could be a runner now tbh.
