Boost

A boost pedal does one simple thing brilliantly — it makes your signal louder, stronger, and more alive. Whether you’re pushing a valve amp into natural breakup, lifting a solo above the band, or adding a touch more presence to your core tone, a clean boost gives you extra headroom without changing your character.

Use it at the front of your chain to drive other pedals harder, or after your gain stages to raise volume without adding distortion. Subtle or powerful, transparent or slightly coloured, a boost is one of the most useful tools on any pedalboard — small box, big difference.

ir loader

An IR loader pedal lets you use impulse responses to recreate the sound of real speaker cabinets, microphones, and recording environments with impressive accuracy. By loading digital cabinet profiles, you can shape your direct tone to feel like it’s running through specific speakers and mic setups — all without needing a physical cab on stage or in the studio.

Use an IR loader for silent recording, direct-to-PA gigs, or compact fly rigs where consistency matters. Pair it with an amp sim or preamp pedal and you’ve got a complete, mix-ready signal straight from your board — controlled, flexible, and ready for wherever you plug in.

New

This is brand new, fresh in, and a UK warranty is included. New Gear always comes from trusted UK music retailers.

noise gate

A noise gate pedal keeps your rig tight and controlled by cutting unwanted hiss and hum when you’re not playing. High-gain setups, stacked pedals, and long signal chains can introduce background noise — a noise gate steps in to silence it cleanly, letting your riffs start and stop with precision.

Use it to sharpen heavy rhythm parts, tame buzzing single-coils, or clean up complex pedalboards without sacrificing sustain. Dial it subtle for transparent control or tighter for that sharp, percussive stop-start effect — either way, it keeps your sound focused and professional.

Preamp

A preamp pedal shapes and boosts your guitar’s signal before it reaches your amp or recording interface, giving you control over tone, gain, and headroom. It acts as the first stage of amplification, adding warmth, clarity, and character while preparing your signal for the next part of the chain. Some preamps emulate the response of classic valve circuits, while others offer clean, transparent tone shaping ideal for acoustic instruments or direct recording setups.

Used on its own, a preamp pedal can serve as the foundation of your tone, providing a consistent core sound wherever you play. When combined with other effects, it enhances dynamics and helps each pedal sound more defined and natural. Whether you’re looking to push your amp harder, bring life to a dull signal, or refine your sound for the studio, a good preamp pedal adds presence, punch, and musicality to any rig.
