It was a privilege to be there repping Pirate MIDI and to meet you Joel! Thanks for making an excuse for Matt to get us all together. Definitely needs to happen again sometime :)
I came to the Sydney pedal party. 3 weeks in Australia and I noticed Joel already had the beginnings of a cool mullet and his sideburns were buzz cut. You bloody legend!
I bought my very first pedalboard from Pedal Empire in 2013 after I had moved to Brisbane for University. I had no idea what I was doing, and the guys there were so helpful and knowledgeable. Since then, that pedalboard helped me build a career, travel the country, record albums and have experiences I never would’ve had otherwise. I remember going to a clinic Juan Alderete ran there, and was amazed. I was even lucky enough to win a Dispatch Master just by going, which I still have. I’ve changed careers twice since then, but always played music with a tonne of pedals, and 9 times out of ten, if I can get something from Pedal Empire, I will. That place is special.
Wow you were really there at the start @Echo_Fret! Juan came to the store for the EQD clinic early 2015 about 3 months after we opened! I felt totally out of my depth but it went pretty smooth. Cool to hear you are still making music and we helped a little bit ❤
Not everyone tidies up. I hardly did it when I had a business, I'd expect my employees to do it. You have a real love for your place and it's really great to see!
Great shop, great pedals, quite pricey but I've bought heaps of stuff there that wasn't otherwise available retail in Australia. Glad to see a nice family behind the business and learn about the hard working building up the brand. Well done, will be visiting next time in Brisbane.
So strange seeing an event in my hometown I knew nothing about featured on a channel from America I follow haha! Did they advertise it? I've bought multiple pedals from pedal empire too 😅
Hey @snowandlightsmusic! Shame you didn't know about it! Yes we promoted it heavily on socials (so did Chase Bliss) and sent out flyers in packages etc
What a delight, Joel! There are so many brands in that part of the world, many from Japan and other East Asian countries, that simply never make it to North America or Europe. I'm sure you stumbled onto stuff you had never seen before.
You should do a collab with Pit Viper on a pedal; I think it would make for a sick combo. Like a spicy 80s-style overdrive or something with chorus/flanger.
Joel this was so much flippin fun doing this. I miss it so much lol And then the backyard barbecue party like the next day!! 😊😊❤❤ Hey Joel, Did you ever find the photos of me and Nash on your phone? 😂😂 ❤️❤️ Moses
Wow this is a beautiful event with such amazing people

Bizarre how this joint reminds me so much of Twin Town here in Minneapolis. Love these Chase Bliss videos featuring lovely people!
Loving this!! Spencer and Moses.......my gorgeous grandsons. And their equally gorgeous parents. ❤
I go to many music stores in Brisbane but it’s always an absolute pleasure to drop in on the Pedal Empire crew. They are the best.

So cool to see where my favourite packages come from. Love you guys. Thanks for the amazing service and support.
Cheers Jimmy!
Amazing partnership
By far the best pedal store in the southern hemisphere. The guys at Pedal Empire are total legends!
Ah cheers @theyuzz! ❤❤
Casual Ball park music gig seals it. Definetly popping in next time i'm in brissy
Yes come say hello!
