From the reviews

There is no better place to shop or talk pedals in the TC metro. Eclipse has the heat. So much cool stuff to look at here, 1000s of pedals, great guitars, amps, pedalboards, supplies. All the things. Go here next chance you get. I challenge any guitar/bass player to not find something they need

★★★★★ — Sam, Oct 2025

"A pedal shop that also sells guitars" would be a good way to describe it. More pedal inventory than any shop in the midwest ...hundreds and hundreds from new Boss stuff to vintage Big Muffs, echoplexes, EH stuff, even the elusive vintage Bad Monkey lol.

★★★★★ — Joseph, May 2025

I came here for the first time today and had a great experience. The owner welcomed me to the store after I'd called a few times earlier in the day asking about a bitcrusher pedal. He was very polite over the phone and extremely welcoming in person. I was given a brief tour and shown all of the bitcrushers available.

★★★★★ — Nate, Mar 2025

I've been here twice so far and both times were a full 5 star experience. The WALL OF PEDALS is a must see. There's so many pedals there's not just a WALL OF PEDALS but there's also SHELVES of pedals. Some used stuff too.

Lessons at Eclipse Music

Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Eclipse Music. If you're signing up a beginner (or restarting yourself), a quick call ahead answers the three things that matter: which instruments they teach, whether the schedule has openings at the time you actually need, and what a first lesson costs. There's no wrong first guitar — a good teacher will happily work with whatever you walk in with, and a shop that teaches usually keeps affordable starter instruments on hand for exactly this reason.
