Baltimore Pedal Show 2026

BALTIMORE, MARYLAND

The Baltimore Pedal Show is a free event for Baltimore area musicians to meet effects pedal builders and try out their exciting designs. Our hope is that you come away with an appreciation for these brands and they learn how strong of a scene Baltimore musicians have.

This year’s show is hosted in a larger venue than the previous events, and should have lots more builders along with more room to move.
