I just discovered this site. Maybe it's old news, figured I'd share.

Seems you can rent pedals and return them for a fair price.

Anyone used this? Thoughts, comments, experience, worth it?

Looks like US only so far.....

This sounds really fucking cool since I have a bunch of ODs I'd like to try without any stores around me that carry them. And trying it with your personal rig is a huge bonus. I'll definitely check this out further. I'm kinda curious what kind of prices they offer for keeping certain pedals after trying them.

I fully agree! They claim that prices to buy a pedal off them vary depending on how long you've been a member and how long you've rented the pedal you wish to keep, but I'd imagine it has to be cheaper than buying it brand new considering the things been around the block a few times.

You can also request certain pedals that they don't have. I really want to demo the MXR Carbon Copy Delay before I use it, but they don't have it. Emailed them about it, I'll see what they say.

I also noticed they have some cool new stuff like the Mesa EQ's and "tubescreamers", etc. I'd be interested in those as well!

Yeah, I should probably email them about requesting an Empress Heavy. I'm all for used gear — beaten to hell or whatever. As long as they work, I'm in. I'd like to try those mesa EQ's too.

I saw this once before but totally forgot about it!

Oh man, this could become a problem for me haha.
