How to buy a used guitar pedal

The revision decides the price more than the condition does. Boss pedals made in Japan before roughly 1990, early Electro-Harmonix Big Muffs and original Ibanez TS808s trade at a large multiple of the current version, and they look almost identical in a photograph. The serial number and the country of manufacture printed on the base are what settle it, so ask for a photo of the underside rather than the top.

Footswitches and jacks are the parts that fail. Everything else in a pedal is solid state and lasts effectively forever, but the switch is a mechanical part that gets stamped on and the jacks work loose. Both are repairable and neither is expensive, but a dead switch on a boutique pedal is a soldering job, not a swap, so price it in.

Most pedals arrive without a power supply, and they are not interchangeable. The common standard is 9V centre-negative, which a daisy chain covers, but plenty of pedals want 12V or 18V, and some digital ones draw more current than a cheap supply provides. A pedal that behaves oddly on a shared supply is usually starved rather than faulty.

Buy the version you will actually use, not the one with the most controls. The multi-effect units on this page do everything, and the single-purpose stompboxes do one thing without a menu. Both are legitimate answers, and the deciding question is whether you want to edit sounds at home or step on something at a gig.

Boxed and papered matters more here than in most categories. Pedals are small, they get resold often, and the box tends to survive because it is the size of a paperback. An original box adds real money at resale and costs nothing to keep.

Watch for modified pedals. A "modded" pedal has had components changed by someone whose work you cannot inspect. Some mods are well known and add value; most narrow the market when you come to sell. Unless the modifier is a name you recognise, treat a mod as a discount rather than a feature.

Cheapest by model, at a glance

A daily snapshot of the lowest genuine eBay price for every model we track, and how good that price is right now versus its usual level, updated automatically. Prices last refreshed 12 October 2026. Tap a price to see that model's cheapest listings on eBay, or tap a model name for the full live list here.

These are second hand prices, listed by sellers as used or pre-owned, taken from live eBay US listings in US dollars. In collectible categories a sealed or unworn item is sometimes the cheapest genuine listing, and it is included. The same number works both ways: it is what a buyer pays today and the resale value a seller can realistically ask. Every model also carries a price history, the daily record kept since tracking began, which is the part to read before you buy or resell. On a day when a model has no listing that passes these filters, its row keeps the last price we recorded rather than inventing one, and drops off this table if that goes on for more than a few days.

Under each model is the actual listing that price came from, so you can see whether it is the thing you want or a bundle, a variant, or an accessory that happens to share the name.

Over the period we have tracked, this category is down 2.9%, while the used market as a whole is down 0.3%. See the Used Price Index, which is built from these prices and published as a free CSV.
