a good place to try pedals...

[KASH]

I'm looking for a pedal that can give a ballsy colour to my natural tone as well as overdrive/distortion when needed. Don't want to spend much. Now...is there any shop in London that have a good stock of pedals to try out?

Vintage and Rare guitars has the best. Although you won't find many cheap pedals there.

although their reputation is not great, i have been able to try stuff at the bass cellar on denmark st. there is normally a few interesting bits to try.
the other option is music ground, who have moved into the old "andy's" shop on the corner. there is normally a pretty good selection there, and they always seem keen to help.
I've also had good experiences with Macari's on charing cross road. again, keen to help, and normally some good stock / prices too.

The Gallery had a field full of pedals when I was in there ...
