PALMER POCKET AMP MK2
Pre-owned
£65.00

The Palmer Pocket Amp MK 2 (Model: PEPAMP MK II) is a portable, solid-state guitar preamp and DI box designed for direct recording, practice, and live performance. It features authentic tube amplifier simulations and speaker cabinet emulation in a compact, die-cast aluminum enclosure.

LOGJAM LOGARHYTHM
Pre-owned
£65.00

The Logjam Logarhythm is a foot-activated percussion instrument (often called a “stomp box”) designed to generate kick drum sounds when tapped with the foot. Unlike electronic drum machines, it is an acoustic-electric instrument that requires no batteries; it uses an internal dynamic microphone capsule to capture the impact of the foot on a solid wooden body and outputs the signal via a standard 1/4″ jack to a PA system or amplifier.

How It Works
The device functions as a standalone rhythmic tool rather than a guitar effects pedal. Musicians place it on the floor and tap their foot in time with their music to create a beat. The sound character is highly variable based on footwear and stomping location:
Footwear Influence: Hard leather soles produce a sharper, “toppy” sound, while trainers or thick rubber soles create a warmer, deeper tone.
Tonal Variation: The Logarhythm Mk4 features an internal chamber design that allows players to produce different volumes and tones by stomping on the left side (softer, warmer) or the right side (louder, more punch).
Amplification: When plugged into an amp, users are advised to boost the bass and reduce treble/mid tones to achieve a round, bassy kick drum sound.

WEM • WATKINS COPICAT
Pre-owned, fully working
£500.00

The WEM Watkins Copicat is a vintage tape echo unit created by Charlie Watkins in the late 1950s, evolving from valve-powered Mk I and Mk II models to solid-state Mk IV and Super IC versions. It operates using an endless loop of magnetic tape passing over a record head and multiple playback heads, where the distance between heads determines the delay time and the number of selected heads determines the number of repeats.

Key technical specifications and features include:
Signal Path: Uses a 44kHz bias oscillator to modulate the signal for recording, with playback heads feeding into an Echo (volume) control and a Reverb/Sustain control that feeds the signal back to the record head for feedback loops.
Controls: Typically features Echo (record volume), Repeats (feedback), Echo Repeats, Tone controls (Bass/Treble), and a Varispeed control for pitch/delay modulation.
Head Configuration: Early models had 3 playback heads with push-button selection; later models like the Super IC added a fourth head for longer variable delays.
Input/Output: Standard quarter-inch jack connectors, with inputs switchable between high impedance (guitar) and low impedance (microphone/line).
Power: Original units often used 2-core ungrounded mains cables (a safety hazard requiring conversion to 3-core earthed), while later models like the IC400 utilized belt drive mechanisms.

MXR DISTORTION+ • VINTAGE ANALOGUE DISTORTION PEDAL
Pre-owned – we have replaced the original centre-positive power supply input with one which conforms to the modern standard, i.e. Centre-Negative.
£120.00

The MXR Distortion + (model M104), released in 1974, is a classic distortion pedal originally designed by MXR Innovations (now under Dunlop). It is widely considered one of the first dedicated distortion stompboxes and is renowned for its simple circuitry and ability to drive tube amplifiers into natural-sounding overdrive and distortion.
The pedal features a minimalist design with only two controls: Distortion (which increases gain and treble) and Output (which sets the overall volume). Internally, it uses a single op-amp and a pair of germanium diodes for hard clipping, creating a signature sound that ranges from warm blues overdrive to crunchy hard rock tones. It does not have a dedicated tone control, relying on the interaction with the amplifier’s EQ.

Key Characteristics:
Tone Profile: Delivers soft-clipped distortion that preserves the character of the amp, transitioning from mild overdrive to heavy fuzz-like distortion as the gain is increased.
Notable Users: Famously used by Randy Rhoads (Ozzy Osbourne), Jerry Garcia (Grateful Dead), Slash (Guns N’ Roses), Dave Murray (Iron Maiden), and Thom Yorke (Radiohead).
Power: Operates on a standard 9-volt battery or an AC adapter (not provided)

BEHRINGER DR600 • DIGITAL REVERB  

PRE-OWNED

£25.00

The Behringer DR600 is a digital stereo reverb pedal featuring 24-bit high-resolution processing. It offers six distinct reverb algorithms: Spring, Plate, Hall, Gate, Room, and Modulate. The unit is designed with stereo inputs and outputs to create wide soundscapes, though it functions equally well in mono setups.

SMJ LEGEND • NOISE GATE  

PRE-OWNED

£33.00

The SMJ Legend Series Control Pedal is a control pedal manufactured by Richards Guitars (UK), not a dedicated noise gate. While it is categorized under guitar effects, its primary function is to manage signal levels or control parameters rather than performing the specific threshold-based noise elimination typical of noise gate pedals.

KORG FK-2 MR MULTI  • VINTAGE MULTI-FX PEDAL – WAH, PHASER, ENVELOPE FILTER

PRE-OWNED, GOOD CONDITION

£259.00

The Korg FK-2 Mr. Multi is a rare 1973 vintage effects pedal that combines a wah, phaser, and envelope filter in a single enclosure. It features two rotary switches: one selects between Phase, Wah, or Double Wah (a combined phaser-wah mode), while the other toggles between Pedal (foot-controlled) and Auto (LFO-modulated) modes.
Unlike traditional inductor-based wah pedals, the Mr. Multi uses an all-op-amp circuit with FETs to create its unique filter sounds. The Double Wah setting is particularly noted for its “goopy,” synth-like character that responds well to high gain. Because original units are scarce and expensive, several clones exist, including the Dead End FX MR. Multi PCB and various DIY builds for the Vero stripboard.
