EBS pedal reviews

EBS is known as one of the world’s leading manufacturers of pedals for bass players. Over the last few years there has been growing use of EBS effects amongst guitarists. Now the company has launched a line of pedals specifically designed for guitar - introducing the EBS Red Label series. All three models are reviewed in the latest issue of Guitarist magazine where the EBS MultiComp receives the magazine’s “Guitarist Choice” award.

The full review can be found in the September 2015 issue of Guitarist magazine on sale now.

New Arrivals

We are delighted to announce the arrival of some new Washburn Guitars - the Washburn WCG18CE and the Washburn WCG18CEB. 
Both are a new addition to the Comfort Series which are built to hug the body rather than dig into it. A contoured belly cut and top carve mean Washburn’s new series provide an enjoyable, comfortable and form-fitting playing experience.  They are also perfectly adapted for stage performance with premium Fishman electronics.

The ‘outstanding’ (Sonic State Review) DigiTech Polara Stereo Reverb pedal is now back in stock in the UK.  The Polara features seven genuine Lexicon® reverbs in a compact boutique-style pedal.

After pulling in reviews from Total Guitar Magazine "There's lots of competition in the compact reverb market, but with seven diverse types, the Polara more than holds its own” and MusicTech Magazine "At the price, it's a very practical and portable way of adding a group of seven Lexicon algorithms to your sonic toolkit” the popularity of this compact Reverb Effects pedal is no surprise.
