Video Description
In today's video I check out 9 effects pedals from the Valeton Loft Series! These budget effects pedals start from $59 and are built extremely well with metal potentiometers, magnesium alloy body and nice and soft switching. These are not discontinued - they are being made and sold from a exclusive dealership. Check the eBay links below.
Thanks to https://megalca.com/ for sponsoring this video and sending out the pedals for this review.
