Boutique Pedal Manufacturers Are Feeling the Tariff Pinch

So an extra 10% tarrifs because us over here have this wild idea that you can’t just invade places and take other peoples land.

So I guess we protect ourselves with tarriffs going the other way …

So if I want any PPCB boards I should order them now before it gets too crazy.


I grew up being taught our monarchy was mad and a unwritten constitution and unelected upper house was stupid compared, to a wonderful written constitution with all its well thought out checks and balances and division between the branches of government. I can’t get my head around it - Turns out it either was a mirage of a good system or the citizens disnt actually care about it.
 
We are born in an age of a constitutional democracy being a matter of course. Looking at history there is no reason to think a democracy can't turn into an absolute democracy. I quote Meryl Streep: The winner takes it all.

The EU doesnt wants tariffs in return. (Edit: they are preparing tariffs in return) But if so I guess even an 100% tariff would stop me buying PPCB's.

Is it possible that the US (the current administration and the people who voted for the orange toad) want to be independent from the whole world on their 250th anniversary?

You sir have a way with words. I directly had the image in my mind while reading. Also, I actually think that you'd sell 10,000 of them rather easily.

New business opening in 2026 peeps!

Chinese aluminum has a 100% tariff, but it's still cheaper than getting parts machined in the US.

And better quality. Didn't we have a thread here a few weeks ago that showed two pedal housing prototypes and the chinese one was made faster, cheaper and better even after the tariffs? I have a amp chassis made and powder coated by JLC. 15€. And it's on point. Beat that.

Yup, that was also my post lol

The chinese manufacturers I've been working with have always provided excellent quality in a shorter amount of time and provided excellent customer service as well.
