ive recently started looking for a single pedal to upgrade from my stock tama swingstar one. I checked craigslist for some quality ones because im not looking to spend very much on it.
I found a ludwig speed king w/ wood beater for $30 and a tama iron cobra jr. for $35
the SK is over 20 years old, and the tama is a little over 2 years old. The same guy is selling both. I called the guy and he told me that the SK still has a great action and does not squeak at all. The Tama is barely used, still in the box.
I dont think im going to be able to try these pedals beforehand, so I need to make a decision on one soon.
My music is punk/alternative/metal. I play fast and I like to incorporate triplets, double stroke rolls, etc. into my music. I went to my GC and i tried out the "new" iron cobra jr (which i liked) but they did not have an SK.
Which would be a better investment for me?
thanks!
