One cool thing about Livingroom Gear Demos‘ “Best of Pedals” lists is that they always feature more than one unexpected stompbox – overdrives in particular.

Here’s Eirik’s list of his favorite pedals of 2017 (from the video streaming at the bottom of this page). It’s organized in our usual interactive gallery format, with pictures linking to the author’s own videos – at least when possible! Read excerpts of Eirik’s descriptions with a mouse-over.
