FAQ
Why should I order at Effekt-Boutique?
We try to be Europe´s nice boutique alternative to big music warehouses and boring standard effects. We try to find new interesting pedals for you every day and hope to show you one or two ideas for enhancing your sound. Nevertheless, we aim at being the most informative online shop and try to include as many videos, soundfiles, user reviews and links as possible. So check us out and let´s be friends!
Why shouldn´t I import directly from the USA?
Of course, you are free to do that. But please remember that besides high shipping fees and a long wait, you will still have to add your country´s VAT plus customs duties to get the final price. So as a european customer, you will get your stuff faster and without all the hassle when ordering here at the Effektboutique. And in case your pedal is faulty or damaged, you don´t have the hassle from sending it back to the United States.
How about the power supply for foreign effect pedals?
Almost all of our products are powered by a 9V battery and/or a standard 9 volt DC, negative tip power supply. These standard power supplies are used in many fields and should be available in any country and in numerous 110 or 220V versions. So powering should be no problem at all!
A few of our effect pedals require a different power source, in this case the pedal is shipped with the required power supply, mostly the 220V version. Please check the particular product info to find out which version of the power supply is added. Unfortunately, we can´t send you an other version then the stated volt version.
