I just got my order, the Boss VE-22.
I must say I am very happy with your services - great flexibility (my previous order of AER was handled perfectly when I was in urgency) and organisation (the Boss VE 22 was available while on other dealer's pages, it’s only in pre-order).
I very much appreciate also the human aspects and communication - you replied to me on a sunday and it was very reassuring. I didn’t get an automatic AI reply.
And last but definitely not least, the price is far the best from all options, even Thomann.
Great job, I am so happy that by my purchases I can support a company like this !
Thanks for your work.

Description
With only three controls, this deceptively powerful pedal offers you everything from light overdrive to full on distortion with clarity and blissful grinding. A Tone On/Off switch allows you remove the Tone control from the circuit, opening up a whole new world of midrange grind. Switch it off for a simplified and straightforward attack or leave it on for a full-bodied distortion with loads of low-end with a slight natural scoop. Roll up the Sustain for wall-shaking bass notes or sustaining lead and adjust the Tone for a wild and wide frequency response from aggressive top end to low-end rumble.
Sometimes pedals can change. Parts drift, pots break, transistors go bad. They go to new homes; they get neglected and resold. Sometimes people get in there and try to revive them to their original state and sometimes they just throw whatever is laying around inside and hope it does the trick. In this case, we’re pretty sure all the above happened to the fuzz pedal that made its way to James Murphy and ended up finding a forever home with LCD Soundsystem.
This particular pedal really does have something special. It’s heavy without being too heavy, clean but not too clean. A simple set of controls yet it has an expansive array of tones that makes it very versatile on a wide variety of instruments. It has clarity when you need it and can blur all discernible lines when you don’t. It still retains the familiar foundation of the classic fuzz it was intended to be but something special happened to it over the years and it has very much grown into its own thing.
I’m going to guess that you have heard this pedal. It has been the chosen bass fuzz for several LCD recordings and has traveled around the world with them. I’d say that it is a prized possession, a real one-of-a-kind pedal. It has been beat up and taped back together. It looks like it shouldn’t work but it always delivers. It is old, it is fragile, and it sounds massive. Too good to retire yet too tired to keep going. That is where we come in. We were tasked with replicating the exact sound of this pedal but in a reliable format that can withstand the stresses of this modern world. No easy feat, for sure, but we persevered and have brought you the Chelsea.
Named after the guitar shop in which it was purchased back in 1989, the Chelsea recreates all the idiosyncrasies of the original but without the threat of total collapse. Each Chelsea is handmade at EarthQuaker Devices headquarters in always sunny Akron, Ohio, USA by a bunch of pretty nice humans and one big robot.
