Key Points

London Synth & Pedal Expo at Studio 9294, Hackney Wick (92–94 Wallis Rd, E9 5LN) runs Saturday 21 March 12:00–18:00 and Sunday 22 March 11:00–17:00.

The event hosts 49 pedal brands. New: Acorn Amps, Emptyhead Effects, MC Sound Lab, Mentha Works, Normal Devices, Peavey, Thorn Soundlabs. Guitar Pedal X is Media Partner; Paolo and Paige are 2025 show runners.

Studio 9294, canal-side, about 5‑minute walk from Hackney Wick station (one stop from Stratford on the East London Overground/Windrush Line). Stratford links Central, DLR, Elizabeth, Jubilee lines; use Elizabeth Line. Nearby: Number 90 pub, Grow vegan venue, Sainsbury’s Local.

I’m sorry I’m a little late with this preview - I’ve been waiting for the roster to be finalised - which it mostly is now - there’s just a few brands requiring further clarification - while the roster is mostly there now!

This show takes place at my favourite canal-side location - and is particularly spectacular on a sunny day. Hackney Wick is essentially an artist community now - with around 250 Artis’s ateliers, studios and workshops - leading to a lot of wall art in the area.

We are very fortunate to have a superb sort of gastro pub next door - Number 90 - which serves up superb Burgers and Sunday Roasts in particular. A little further down the road you have a Vegan Restaurant / Bar / Kitchen / Venue called Grow. There’s also a Sainsbury’s Local just 5 or so minutes walk away - said location has everything you need for a good day out!

Guitar Pedal X is Media Partner for the show once again - meaning that I’m in on both days!

Here follow all the essential details for the show - starting off with the venue and location.

There are around 50 pedal brands represented at the show - some fully independently, others courtesy of distributors!

Too many brands to add all as topics, while I will do that exercise for my show report!

Saturday 21st of March : 12:00 - 18:00 hrs

Sunday 22nd of March : 11:00 - 17:00 hrs

The Studio 9294 venue can be found at :

Studio 9294, 92 - 94 Wallis Rd, Hackney Wick, London, E9 5LN

Studio 9294 is right around the corner from Hackney Wick station really - which is one stop up / in / along from Stratford Station on the East London Overground Line (now Windrush Line).

Stratford serves Central, Docklands Light Railway, Elizabeth, and Jubilee Lines!

The venue really is just 5 minutes walk from the Hackney Wick train station - and there are regular trains to Stratford - which is the nearest major Hub.

If you can - I suggest you make use of the Elizabeth Line - as that's normally the quickest way to get to Stratford!

See you all there!
