I have learned that more people than I expected care about this. I will admit, I see some pedals in a different color and have liked some of them more than the original but not often. Are graphics, colors, limited editions, etc. important to you?

How Important Is Pedal Color To You?

Some people just never grow up, I guess?
Factories color coding their pedals since they used a unified design template (like Boss) or because their stuff was visually similar to other things from competitors that customers were likely to use made functional sense. Just for visibility.
But special editions? Screw that. Not a cent more.Last edited by Adieu; 06-10-2021, 09:00 AM."New stuff always sucks" -Me

Functionality is ALWAYS priority number one.
Given that, IF I have choices, then aesthetics might be considered.
I have bought pedals (few - but I have) because they were simply "cool" in some way, that had no more or less functionality than any other pedal I own. But that was done consciously.

I won't use a stomp unless it's a color I dig.
Because color = tone.

I love the Neunaber pedals...sound absolutely fantastic. I bought a few different ones, color is fine etc. They then release the same pedals in white and they looked 100 times better (to me) and I was like no way...lol. I would have bought white if I had a choice at the time....then I am thinking, do I buy these pedals again? I didn't but dang those white ones are cool...lol.The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs.

I like bright coloured pedals because they're easier to see in the dark . . . but short of that . . . meh.Join me in the fight against muscular atrophy!

I see the trend going with some pedal companies and their artwork like it was back in the day with album cover artwork. Some of the artwork on these pedals is over the top insane.The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs.
