I guess it's just fronting Chinese OEMs as Thomann does with Harley Benton so it makes sense.

Looks like the same pedal sold under the Kokko brand on eBay if you've got GAS for a pocket money overdrive and don't fancy giving Bezos any more of your money.

Another Amazon bid for world domination.

I suppose it’s no different to the department store brands of the 50s & 60s. It’s just the “Basics” presentation, feels like a weird riff on the JHS 3 series or something

At least Amazon have a good returns policy!

I'll stick to the Waitrose 'essentials' range.

I don’t really like to be a snob about cheap pedals but, Jesus, nothing says bargain basement like the words Amazon Basics. 

Might as well just make them blue and white stripes with Tesco Value on them

Kokko pedals are great value. Sound good, built well enough.
