The best-selling pedals of 2019 have been revealed

Last week, we presented Reverb.com’s list of the site’s best-selling guitar amps of 2019. Now, the digital gear marketplace has revealed another year-end best-of, this one focusing on the site’s top-selling effect pedals, both overall and for stompboxes new for 2019 (and as regular readers of this site are well aware, there were a lot – and we mean a lot – of pedals released over the past 12 months).

In the best-selling overall category TC Electronic ruled the roost, with the company’s Hall of Fame Reverb and Ditto Looper taking first and second place. Other high-rankers included the Fulltone OCD, MXR Carbon Copy and Keeley Compressor.
