What brands, effect categories, or price points do you want to see get reviewed and demoed more often?
As of the time of this posting, the average and median scores handed out are both 7.7 out of 10. Certainly representative of the strong showing by the market and pedal building community in 2021. The average price of any pedal reviewed on Guitars For Idiots currently sits at $140. High, but that is increasingly becoming commonplace. It is certainly influenced by some heavy hitters from Strymon, Walrus Audio, and Chase Bliss as well.
Here’s a breakdown by effect type as well!
You can also check out the average price and score per effect type, which will help add further context to future reviews. How does this pedal compare to all the others in its effects type on average? In terms of price, score, or whatever categories we deem important!

Now that is a pretty impressive board if I say so myself…
