As 2024 starts to wind down we thought it would be fun to do a Top 10 list of our best selling guitar pedals. This year we're going to add a fun little twist too. We're going to compare the 2024 list with our Top 10 list from the year 2014. So sit back and have a quick read. Enjoy!




Number 10 - Solid Gold FX Supa Funk
We start our countdown with the Solid Gold FX Supa Funk in the #10 position. The Supa Funk is an old-school, dual band envelope filter designed for some serious stank! Featuring a responsive and articulate attack generator and expanded control set with our new Color knob that blends in a second low-pass filter, you can go from a classic bom-chicka-wow-wow funk, all the way to rich, throaty and vocal filter sweeps.

 





Number 9 Origin Effects Cali76 Bass Compressor
Though only released in the back-half of 2024 the Origin Effects Cali76 Bass Compressor has already snag a spot at #9 on our top 10 list.

The Cali76 Bass Compressor is a studio-grade compressor pedal inspired by the world-famous Urei® 1176® studio compressor, heard on many of the greatest studio recordings since the 1960s. The Cali76 Bass Compressor uses uncompromising all-analogue circuitry to make these distinctive, ultra-fast FET compression tones available to modern guitarists and bassists.

Available in Silver/Black, Black/Black and Blue/Black

 



Number 8 - Diamond Pedals Vibrato
#8 is home to the Diamond Pedals Vibrato. The Diamond Vibrato is not only back—it's better than ever. The latest and greatest version of the Vibrato incorporates decades-worth of end-user feedback, updated tech, maximum efficiency, modern features, a meticulous redesign for enhanced player experience and the signature Diamond sound that made the OG Vibrato great.

 






Number 7 - JAM Pedals Wahcko
Entering the charts at #7 is the Jam Pedals Wahcko. The Wahcko is by far our favorite wah pedal in the shop. It has a beautifully smooth and expressive voice that makes your guitar sing.

 

 




Number 6 - EarthQuaker Devices ZOAR
Sliding into the #6 spot is the EarthQuaker Devices ZOAR. People love the ZOAR because tt has been finely tuned to create a highly tweakable hi-fi and modern sounding distortion, but with the ghosts of old school circuitry to deliver a grind that is both instantly familiar and delightfully unique.

Available in the Standard Blue or Cottonwood Music Emporium Exclusive Grey Hammertone

 





Number 5 - Benson Amps Preamp Pedal
The #5 spots solidly belongs to the Benson Amps Preamp pedal. Designed based on the Benson Chimera amp, this pedal is an extremely amp-like and versatile clean boost/overdrive/fuzz pedal that imparts rich harmonics and a very musical EQ to your signal chain... truly a Chimera in a box!

 

 


Number 4 - Aclam Dr Roberts V2
Coming in at #4 is the Aclam Dr Roberts. This amp in a box pedal was designed to be the closest replica of the soul and character of the Vox UL730 used by The Beatles on Revolver & Sgt. Pepper.

 

 





Number 3 - EarthQuaker Devices Blumes
Coming in at the #3 spot this year is another pedal geared towards bass players. The Blumes is also a great pedal for guitarists' deep overdrive needs, especially for the drop-tuned master.

Available in the Standard Yellow / Green or Cottonwood Music Emporium Exclusive Pearl / Turquoise

 






Number 2 - JHS Pedals 3 Series Compressor
Taking the #2 spot this year is the JHS Pedals 3 Series Compressor. Why the 3 Series Compressor? Because it's everything you need and nothing you don't for the low price of just $99.



 

 



Number 1 - Greer Amps Lightspeed Organic Overdrive
The Greer Amps Lightspeed Organic Overdrive takes the #1 spot this year. A fun fact is that this pedal ranked number 5 in 2014 and is the only pedal still on the 2024 top 10 list.

The Lightspeed Organic Overdrive is a very natural sounding overdrive. Why "organic"? Well, simply put, it's the clearest, most natural feeling, and best overdrive we've heard for the player looking for a natural drive tone. Blending with the tone of the guitar and amplifier, this pedal has rich harmonics and complex but smooth clipping. The Lightspeed Overdrive is sensitive to pick attack and has a different "feel" than other overdrives. The Lightspeed can be set to be "transparent," but can also drive your signal to the edge.

Available in the Standard Blue or Cottonwood Music Emporium Exclusive Silver / Purple
