MI Pro are having a 'Boutique Week' which may offer some insight into the UK boutique effects market. They've interviewed various people connected with building and selling the things.

Yesterday was David Rainger from Rainger FX:

When is it you, though??

Hopefully later this week. My answers were kinda similar to those we've already had. Because MI Pro is more of a trade magazine, it's more about the market in the UK and trade shows. I'd toyed with organising a mini trade-show for UK boutique pedals, or even going to one of those shows with lots of men stroking PRS guitars... but the thought of all those guitar guys playing at once trying out pedals kinda fills me with dread.

Oh yeah here's mine. I'm essentially saying the same thing as the Mon/Tues interviews.

Tim, I read your interview and noticed that Pro Guitar Shop is carrying ThorpyFX pedals. Have you thought about seeing if they could carry your pedals? They move quite a bit of pedals here in the States, especially with Andy's demos.
