Strymon price hike

Jonathanthomas83

Wow, just noticed the prices on these now. I'm sure they were less than that last week!

Very pleased I got my purchases in before they went up, that is mental money!

Blame Brexit.

Well yeah definitely, real shame

I paid 450 euro for my Bigsky,, it is now 525 euros at Thomann's.

Similar for me mate, £379 I believe, now £479 ish, madness

That'll be the £ plunging in value against the $, then. F**king Brexit.

Is that mean my board is now worth 20% more than before?

Before we get all Brexit RAWR about it... has anyone checked that the US prices haven't also gone up?

$479.

So, it's the same as always I recall.

Timeline is $449 from Strymon direct.
UK shops are £429.
I imagine Thomann are more because it is a USD -> EU --> GBP conversion

I've been reliably informed that Moog is about to go through a similar hike.

Brexit, the gift that keeps on giving.

could be an opportunity for uk builders of high end reverb/delay/mod pedals though

but the price hasn't really changed so thats cool.     Just think what it might have gone up to if we had voted remain ;-) 


I haven't seen much difference in strymon prices over the last few months - pedals I looked at last year seem to be around the same price as I'm seeing now.

Certainly some of the monitors I have on my shortlist have gone up since the referendum. Certain audio interfaces have done as well.

Just advocating an evidence based approach chaps
