Hi Scott, here in Europe your new signature pedal Is impossible to find.
I wrote to Godlyke, they don' t have a distributor here.
There Is only a shop in Germany that carry TWA products, but at the moment no SH9.
This Is a pity.
Hope for a better distribution of products with your name since you have a lot of fans here in Europe. |

I didn't know how to answer your post, so I sent it to Godlyke and this is their reply:
Hey Scott,
I hope all's well -
Yes, I think this customer contacted us as well.
As you know, we had some production delays due to the chassis issues.
I have received some other dealer inquiries from Europe, but I did not want to take any more orders until we knew exactly what was going on & when we would have the pedals ready to ship.
On a positive note, I have since found a new powder coating facility and I am headed there tomorrow to pick up 200 x SH9 powder coated chassis.
They will still need to be silk screened, but that should only take about a week & then we can start building & shipping again.
I expect to have all the backorders shipped by the end of October, and then we can also start soliciting new distributors, etc.
That being said, I have to be frank - the SH9 is really expensive to build, and the export price to Europe will be high.
Because of this, I can't guarantee that we will be able to open a large number of European dealers, and even if we do, the pedal will still be expensive for customers.
I can't say at this point that the pedal would be cheaper if a Euro dealer was selling it rather than purchasing it from the USA - it is just economics due to freight costs, import duties, etc.
We will make every effort to open more Euro retailers, but we needed to get past the production issues first. |

Hi Scott and thanks for the answer.
I think the reply from Godlyke speaks for itself.
So...let's be patient and wait..

I have scored one from the first batch but had it sent to my niece in NH so I don't have to pay insane custom taxes here.
I'm must say it is really a killer drive pedal! |

I live in Thailand, so I'll probably employ the same strategy when purchasing the pedal in order to prevent these greedy bastards from gouging me.
Cheers! |

...I had to get to NYC this summer to get one! Sublime customer service by TWA guys, who pointed out before I got there, the name of a shop having one in stock.
Worth every dollar paid! This pedal is fantastic and does exactely what Scott demonstrates on the YT video: it has less annoying bass in the middle of the way compared to the old SD9, while retains a deep voice, pleasant mids and silky highs. Can't be more happy with it _________________ Germino Club 40 plexi replica + EJ Strat w Suhr ML st. pups. I'm not asking for more so far (but... who knows...?) |
