Hey everyone, my name's Mark and I run Spartan Music, a new site which sells low cost guitar pedals and accessories. The aim of the site is to create a store where guitarists can find great bargains as an alternative to the big brand names. Currently we sell pedal brands such as Biyang and ENO as well as our own branded gear. I hope the site will especially appeal to beginner and intermediate guitarists, and even experienced players who just want to find a great bargain or reliable backup. The site is located at http://spartanmusic.co.uk/ so please check it out

I started the business because as a beginner I wanted to experiment with new gear, but didn't want to spend a fortune. So I bought a few of the pedal brands mentioned above. As I became more experienced, I thought they still sound great. That's even after I'd used some of the big pedal brands or boutique pedals. In terms of value they were incredible. But there didn't seem to be a UK based store who specialised in selling just low cost pedals and accessories. So I thought I'd do just that!

While there isn't a massive range of products in stock yet due to the age of the business and obvious financial restrictions, the selection is gradually increasing. I hope to add other low cost guitar pedal brands in the near future, also there are some of our own brand guitar straps on the way within the next few months. Will update this thread when they're here. They essentially are cool looking straps which are actually comfortable (don't have that plastic feel!) but are available for £10.

If you know a good low cost pedal brand but can't find a reliable UK supplier, reply to this thread and I'll look into stocking them in the future. Alternatively you can email me at SpartanMusic.co.uk

Thanks for reading!
