- While we reserve the right to offer used (surplus) items for sale or trade on this website in the future, we have no agenda with or financial interest in Harman International.
Privacy statement:
- We do not collect "cookies" or any personal information from visitors to AmericasPedal.net. However, links to any external web site, such as Google ads or eBay searches, will probably result in a cookie request from the external website; please refer to the respective external web site's privacy policy for more information.

Copyright notice:

Links to any of our web pages are always welcome, and please feel free to download any image or copy any text you wish for your own personal non-commercial use. However, please do NOT use our image files for your eBay auctions or craigslist ads. It is always best to use actual photos of any used item offered for sale, to reduce the likelihood of a surprised (unhappy) customer.
- All original text on this website is likewise (c) 2009-2011 AmericasPedal.net. However, please feel free to quote a portion of our text to better describe your eBay item, if it meets the criteria for fair use (just as we have sometimes quoted from a pedal's user manual). In return, please also provide a link and/or credit to AmericasPedal.net as your source.
Politics:
- Our completely non-political motivations for starting this website should be clear to all. For the record, no part of AmericasPedal.net is intended as a political statement, or to promote any sort of jingoistic nationalism. Visitors from any political party and from every corner of the planet are all equally welcome here!
- Although the date that the beta version of America's Pedal went live (January 20, 2009) was not a coincidence, we have no plans to use this website as a platform for any political agenda.
Questions? Comments?
- We welcome your feedback! Please e-mail general comments or questions to humbucker 'at' americaspedal 'dot' net. Feel free to e-mail image files of your pedals if you like, but it is unlikely we will post your pictures on this website until after we have completed all of our planned updates.
- If you encounter technical problems with this website (anything from dead links to site outages), or would like to inquire about trading links or advertising on AmericasPedal.net, please e-mail pawnshoptrash 'at' americaspedal 'dot' net. Please note that we have no intention of adding bells, whistles, and ads until this website becomes an ersatz version of Harmony Central. However, it would certainly be nice if ad revenue at least paid for our domain hosting and bandwidth costs.
- Finally, we really haven't received enough questions to start a FAQ page, but the one question that *is* frequently asked is whether we plan to add information on DOD's first series (250, etc.), DOD Performer-series, and/or DigiTech PDS-series pedals:
- The short answer is that we haven't acquired significant numbers of any of those series of pedals to draw any definitive conclusions as of yet.
- The longer answer is that some of those pedals are already so rare and/or expensive that (short of winning the lottery) we can't forsee being able to afford them anytime soon; therefore we aren't likely to become any kind of authority on those series of pedals in the near future. (We would be happy to link to any site that already is an authority on those pedals, however.)
- That said, we plan to upload images and information from all available DOD/DigiTech advertisements and catalogs, regardless of which series they are from. Eventually we'll post information from the DOD first series, DOD Performer-series, and DigiTech PDS-series pedals that we do have, but for now DOD FX-series pedals will be given higher priority.
