I have experience in multiple genres of music ranging from classical to jazz to blues to rock and more extreme forms of metal. Over the years I’ve played with several groups spanning various genres, including performing in an orchestra and as a solo artist. I’ve taken and passed exams in London College of Music, Nationwide Music Examinations and Rockschool up to Diploma l

FOR SALE - PLEASE SHARE! £550 (I paid a lot more than the asking price when initially purchased and is in just as good nick, currently this head retails at £800-1000) Peavey 6505 120w tube amplifier head, with footswitch (cab and attenuator not included, however I will be selling the THD Hotplate attenuator separately). Selling my trusty Peavy 6505 with footswitch. It’s never let me down and this is a reluctant sale. This amp doesn’t need any introduction, but I’ll give one anyway! :p I absolutely adore the sound of this amp and it’s monstrous tone. The 6505 is one of the leading high gain amplifiers out there and has been for generations upon generations of artists, touring bands and producers alike. For many, this amp is the undisputed go-to guitar amplifier for scores of rock, hardcore and metal bands or anyone wanting a raw tone, mid range growl, grit, aggression, low range resonance, or generally something heavy with relentless power and road-proven reliability. Features High and low gain inputs 120 watts (rms) into 16, 8, or 4 ohms (switchable) 2-channel preamp switchable on front panel or remote footswitch Rhythm channel: pre-/post-gain, bright and crunch switches Five 12AX7 preamp tubes and four 6L6GC power amp tubes Channels share 3-band EQ Presence and resonance controls Switchable post-EQ effects loop Preamp output Footswitch included Lead channel: pre-/post-gain Weight Unpacked: 48.00 lb(21.772 kg) Weight Packed: 54.00 lb(24.494 kg) Width Packed: 12.25"(31.115 cm) Height Packed: 28.5"(72.39 cm) Depth Packed: 14"(35.56 cm) The amp is in perfect working order and I’ve given it a good clean. It’s in great condition, only gigged a few times and looked after every time. It’s just got very light wear and tear e.g. a few mm’s of black paint missing off the grill, no scratches or cracks, just a few slight scruffs . This could easily be touched up. I’m very sad to be parting ways with it, the reason for sale is that it’s just sitting there barely getting

FOR SALE – PLEASE SHARE! £600 - Hughes and Kettner Trilogy 100w Guitar Amplifier Head and footswitch (cab and attenuator not included, however I will be selling the THD Hotplate attenuator separately) Another reluctant sale. I love this amplifier and it’s now seemingly hard to come by/rare. The younger sibling of the highly sort after Hughes and Kettner Triamp (which retails at over £2000), this amp offers many of the same features, all the power, incredible flexibility and at excellent value for money. A true feat of German engineering, the Trilogy has one of the best sounding clean channels I’ve ever played on in my 23 years of playing guitar. The amp has lush cleans, super bright and sparkly fender style tones, lovely crunch and excellent dynamic response. Whatever it is you want - crisp and clean, punchy crunch, sumo-sized overdrive or hi-gain shred salvation, it’s just a step away courtesy of the included footswitch. Guitarists seeking jaw-dropping tube-tone will hit the jackpot with Trilogy. Four channels, plus Boost and Sparkle modes, provide a staggering array of markedly diverse sounds and ways to shape them at the touch of a button. Providing plenty of tonal variation and flexibility to keep any pro player happy, this prized amp covers all the bases for all styles of music. The Trilogy features H&K’s patented SmartLoop technology, which saves and recalls your effects loop settings for each of the four channels. The amp also supports third party midi stageboards which can unlock a variety of options for effects and variations in tone at the touch of a single stomp box. This amp really does everything, who says you can't have it all? As well as sounding great, it’s a really classy looking amp as well. With the clear glass fascia and the Hughes & Kettner logo lit up in neon blue, this amp really turns heads in any situation and lighting. Features 4 channels (Clean, Crunch, Lead, Ultra Lead) 6 sounds (Clean Sparkle, Crunch Boost, Lead, Ultra Lead) 100 a
