My wife and I started a business - FOR PEDALZ

[tuj]

Stomp.club - We're like Netflix for boutique pedals.

We got some cool things in stock and some even cooler things on the way. We focus on short-run pedals and small production manufacturers, and especially on fuzz. We should have over 40 different fuzzes on tap by the end of this week.

Before you dismiss us out of hand, please take a look at our selection and subscription model.

Also feedback is always welcome. We really appreciate it even if this isn't for you.



PS - Tom, I know you are a busy guy, but if you see this, THANK YOU!

Nice selection! Good luck with this.

interesting idea, tuj. it's a bold venture and i hope it works out well for you.

by way of a couple of ideas, maybe work out some kind of banding for different value pedals. bigger ticket boutique (dba echo dream) 1x per $30, or two basics (silver crank) for $30, so you can mix and match. and maybe get some deluxe items (eventide) with separate top rate.

another thing i noticed was that the home stomp page uses full size big resolution images for the icon images. it means the page takes a while to load. if you used low res icons for the icon images and save the big pics for when the viewer is actually on that pedals's page it would load a lot quicker and save bandwidth for people on limited packages (cell phones).

then get someone to take on a franchise in the uk.

i'd definitely like to try this scheme. and not only because i'd like to gutshot and trace a ton of stuff mwahahaha...

Hey Tabbycat: thank you very much for the feedback on the page. We will work on down-sampling our images.

As for extra points per month, we have thought of that, but wanted to keep things simple to start. I'm not sure if you read how our points system works, but basically you get 3 points a month: That could be 1 really nice pedal like the Dream Echo 2 or it could be 2 pedals, or even 3! We have a pretty good mix of different 'value' pedals, so you can try out a Soul Food along with that fuzz you've been dying for.

As for a UK partner, we'd love one.

Oh and we've got at least one Eventide incoming!

I'm still planning on getting something to you. It's just taking so long to launch.

Looks good!! Better site than pedal genie. Good God. LOL

[Strange Tales]

This is a pretty cool idea and you already have a wealth of pedals I've been interested in. Probably will try it out.

One suggestion though: Instead of listing all of the pedals on one page, why not break them up by categories and plans? It's probably a better idea overall and will make the site tons easier to navigate.

Also, a lot of pages have the description for the Zvex Fuzzolo

Thanks guys, I really appreciate all the encouragement. My wife built the website and we are eventually going to move to a more dynamic site (I'm actually a programmer) once we have made a little bit on the initial investment and see that the business is ready to scale.

Thanks for the point that we have some broken links; we'll try to get those fixed today.

Just want to let you guys know, if you are interested PLEASE send an email to contact AT stomp.club and we will start you up!

yes! really, this is very cool and i wish you and your wife the best of luck.

i have one issue with your FAQ

Q: do you offer pedals for bass?

A: no, not yet. if enough people ask we will.

bass will not hurt your pedals and many of the pedals you list work well with bass. a pedal that "doesnt work for bass" might fall into the hands of someone that makes it work for bass. many will also do terrific things with a v-kit, keys and/or synth. i got tom to plug his v-kit into his guitar board, sonic shroom>tremulust>reverberator, and WOW!!! you might want to rethink the disclaimer.

maybe add Eau Claire Thunder, Team Awesome Fuzz Machine and Fuck overdirve/mini..















you also need an Eau Claire Thunder

Thank you. We will adjust the FAQ accordingly. You are of course right, we encourage synths and drum machine experimentation, I just wanted to be clear that we didn't offer pedals that are *specifically* designed for bass. For example, I know some fuzzes have a few components changed to give better bass response.

As for the ss/BS stuff, we will be adding a F**K OD shortly!
