LGF Pedal Swap at the Como Lakeside Pavilion, Saturday Aug. 9th, 2025 from noon to 1 pm!
The event is FREE and OPEN TO THE PUBLIC!
You ONLY need to register if you plan on displaying pedals for trade or sale!! If you are simply stopping by to buy pedals, you do not need to register!
For those who are displaying pedals, read below.
1. There are NO physical tickets. We’ll have a list of those who registered, so all you’ll need is your id.
2. The pedal swap will be held at the beautiful Como Lakeside Pavilion (1360 Lexington Parkway N, St. Paul, 55103). There is plenty of parking, BUT do carpool if possible.
3. We’ll start checking people in at 11:00 am. The plan is to start the swap meet at Noon.
4. TEST your pedal at home BEFORE coming to the swap. Gear gremlins are real! If the pedal has been sitting for a while, test it. Even if it worked last week, TEST it again!!
5. Take a moment to CLEAN your pedals and find the original boxes if you have them.
6. Price tags are handy and help speed up trades. Check Reverb or eBay, get a sense for what your pedal is worth and write it down somewhere!
7. You'll be able to do straight trades, trades plus cash, or 100% cash transactions with your fellow musicians. We STRONGLY recommend the use of PayPal or VenMo (rather than actual cash) when purchasing as an added layer of protection and peace of mind.
8. If your pedal requires 12V/18V power, mark it clearly on the pedal and bring the dedicated power supply. We’ll have power supplies on hand as well.
9. We will have two listening stations set up.
10. Swap ends promptly at 1 pm.
If you haven’t been to an El Diablo Pedal Swap, you’re in for a treat! It’s a super fun day to meet new friends and catch up with old pals, compare notes about the Mpls/St. Paul music scene, chat about gear, compare collections, and much more. We’ll see you on Saturday, Aug 9th!
