Where the Birmingham Show was a little sprawling and chaotic for me, I very much felt more at home at the Studio 9294 venue for this year’s London Synth and Pedal Expo. As Media Partner for the show, the second year in a row, I was of course in for the entirety of both the day, and actually in very early in particular on the Sunday.

 

I thoroughly enjoyed the two days -I love having the #90 Bar & Kitchen next door - for some very decent lunches - superb burger on the first day, and Sunday...

I don’t usually cover Pro Studio Microphones on this site - while since two of my good pedal-friends Bruce and Rico are involved in this excellent venture, I felt I owed it to them to help put this new Pro Studio Gear company on the map - and its really cool initial product offerings - which have been several years in the making.

 

My two friends are part of a consortium of audiophile technology entrepreneurs with long roots in Pro Studio Gear, interestingly and back in the day - Rico helped ...

Good communications are the essence of quality customer service. And if you’re a pedal maker with pre-orders and waiting lists and such - then it really matters that you can properly keep customers informed on what progress is being made and if there may be any perceived delays or kinks in the process.

 

With preorders in particular those customers will have been informed of a likely ETA initially - which alas often slips due to matters outside the builder’s control. It’s important to ...

Wishing You a Happy Xmas and a Wonderful New Year!

I would sincerely like to thank you all for accompanying me on this year’s adventures.

 

And I would like to apologise to a few of you that I may have snapped at somewhat towards the end of the year - I was already burned out in mid October - it’s a miracle I’ve made it to the end, but not without some casualties in the latter weeks. My mental health these days - and demeanour has been a little fractious - so I do apologise if you ended up on the receiving end of that.

 

I’ve been so busy ...

I’ve really taken to the Kempton Park Reacourse venue for this show - with its superb viewing platform of a Panorama restaurant at the top of the building - in fact there are a few places you can seek refreshments. The whole things had / has an easy family vibe to it - where several exhibitors brought part of their family with them for the day - some the whole shebang, while others had their Dad or Brother in tow - just a really nice easy breezy atmosphere - and so easy to get to for those of ...

Let’s start off with a massive thank you to Unity Street Audio’s Mel Pereira for organising this shindig! The Wassup Nerds!?! Pedal and Noise-Maker Event at Rough Trade Bristol was a runaway success this Sunday just passed. I was hoping to have this article up sooner - but these things take time, and I had other priorities to juggle too.

 

Bristol looked resplendent on the day too in the dappled sunshine - all those historic buildings looked magnificent - and there was a Prets within easy ...

And so the moment is finally upon us - at least mostly that is to say. We’re in for a step-change for sure, and there will likely be some teething troubles for the first few days hereafter as we continue to refine the experience - but do please bear with us - all the stuff you loved will still be here - just easier to find and bookmark.

 

GuitarPedalX.com was officially launched around 5 years ago - on August 1st of 2018. Before then some of those posts (212) had appeared on the blog of my ...
