gOT QUESTIONS?

If we don't have something from your list in stock, we'll send something similar chosen by our algorithm to match your taste and keep the vibes strong. Think: same category, same style, same level of awesome.

Absolutely! No long-term commitments. You can pause or cancel your subscription anytime. We want you to stay because you love it, not because you're locked in.

Super simple. When you're ready for new gear, just let us know and we'll send you a prepaid return label. Ship back your current item and your next selection ships out.

Normal wear and tear is totally fine—we get it, you're using the gear! For significant damage, we have a protection plan that covers you. We'll go over all the details when you sign up.

Absolutely! With Opener, you get to try 12 items per year for just $311.88 total. Compare that to buying just 12 pedals at an average of $130 each ($1,560), and you're saving over $1,200. Plus, you're not stuck with gear you don't love, and you can try anything else in our plan!

If you want guaranteed items from your list and access to more expensive gear, you can add yourself to the waitlist for Pro or Headliner and we'll upgrade you as soon as there's room!
