At SL

These brand names are now being officially distributed at Swee Lee & it happened within a spate of less than 3 months. There is an increasing number of effects brand names calling it home there. While we are glad to see more options available, we hope Swee Lee spruces up its lineup of the seasoned brand names like:
  • Way Huge- missing some newer models, the Overrated Special would be a good addition
  • Fender- the manufacturer added a significant few in January 2018 which garnered critical acclaim but none are available here. Summer NAMM 2018 saw three more joined the range but the only Fender effects unit which is relatively current in store is the Malmsteen OD which won't excite that many here
  • TC Electronic- the newer budget models still not seen (Choka trem/ Crescendo auto swell/ Eyemaster distortion/ etc.)

Hey Sub,

They do bring the latest Fender pedals that were introduced during the winter Namm 2018. Not sure myself why they didn't update them on their site. I'm a proud owner of the Pugilist Distortion pedal (love the tone stacking capabilities). Bought it from SL Star Vista last mth or so. I believe SL has the whole range in store. Go for it Sub!

Cool- good to know. My updates are based on my last visits to all their stores - Bras Basah (January), Star Vistal (Feb) & Katong (April/ May).

Had a chat with a Swee Lee staff yesterday, the Fender pedals (Winter NAMM 2018 batch) was just in store three days prior to this posting.
