EU pedals?

Hi all,

New to Lemmy here, but I like what I’m seeing here! I came in the spirit of moving to buy things from the EU rather than the US and in that vein, I thought I’d start thinking about pedals. Over the past year I’ve been building a pedalboard that I’m quite happy with so far, but the 2/3 of the next pedals I have my eyes on in the long-term are from the US. I was wondering if anyone might have suggestions as to where/what to look for.

I am looking for alternatives either from the EU, or elsewhere other than the US for:

-Low-gain “transparent” overdrive (I was looking at the JHS morning glory)

-phaser pedal (I had been looking at the phase 95 for form factor and I like the phase 45 sound especially)

-a compressor pedal (I did not have anything in particular in mind here, yet).

I won’t buy all these at once, or even in the mediate future most likely, but as i become able to do so, it’s nice to have some ideas in mind.

Any and all advice is appreciated!

    I forgot to address, I don’t have any good personal recommendations as I haven’t tried many companies but I know there are a number of decent German pedal companies and I’ve heard good things about JAM pedals (Greek) and Thorpy (UK). Poly Effects (Australian but not US) seem to be putting out interesting stuff too.

      I’ve been seeing thorpy come up a lot! I was actually planning for a while to get a Jam waterfall (chorus) to support a Greek maker a few months back (I’m Greek), but found a used chorus pedal elsewhere that was like 1/4th the price so it was hard to pass up. They’re definitely on my radar
