Used

Buying used guitars, effects pedals, amplifiers, and other music gear in the UK offers a treasure trove of opportunities for musicians looking to expand their sound palette without breaking the bank. One key item you might want to buy is a used electric guitar. Vintage models or high-end brands like Fender, Gibson, or PRS often maintain excellent quality over the years and can be found at significantly lower prices than new ones. These guitars often come with a history and character that new instruments lack, offering unique tonal qualities and a distinctive feel that can inspire your playing. Additionally, many used guitars come with upgrades or modifications that can enhance their playability and sound, providing added value.

Effects pedals are another great category for purchasing used. Classic pedals like the Boss DS-1 Distortion, Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi, or the Ibanez Tube Screamer have stood the test of time and are sought after for their distinctive sounds. Buying these used can save you money while still delivering the iconic tones that have shaped countless recordings. Used multi-effects units, like the Line 6 Helix or Boss GT-1000, can also be found at more affordable prices and offer a wide range of sounds in a single package. Amplifiers, particularly tube amps from brands like Marshall, Vox, or Fender, are another smart buy in the used market. These amps are known for their rich, warm tones and durability, and purchasing them second-hand can provide you with professional-quality sound without the hefty price tag. By opting for used gear, you can access a wider variety of high-quality equipment that might otherwise be out of reach, allowing you to build a versatile and inspiring setup.

About PRS

We have new and used PRS gear available on our website for fast direct delivery direct to you from across sellers in all areas of the USA & UK.

PRS (Paul Reed Smith) is renowned for its high-end electric guitars and amplifiers, but the company also produces a range of premium guitar effects pedals. PRS pedals are known for their meticulous craftsmanship, robust build quality, and superior tonal characteristics, reflecting the same attention to detail and innovation that the brand brings to its guitars. The company’s effects lineup includes overdrive, distortion, and modulation pedals, designed to enhance and complement the natural sound of PRS guitars.

Among the most popular PRS pedals are the Horsemeat Transparent Overdrive, Wind Through the Trees Dual Analog Flanger, and Mary Cries Optical Compressor. The Horsemeat Transparent Overdrive is praised for its clear, articulate overdrive that preserves the guitar’s natural tone while adding a touch of warmth and grit. The Wind Through the Trees Dual Analog Flanger stands out for its rich, lush flanging effects with two independent flangers that create complex, swirling sounds. The Mary Cries Optical Compressor is favoured for its smooth, transparent compression that enhances sustain and dynamics without colouring the tone. These pedals have gained acclaim for their high-quality sound, innovative features, and the reliable performance that PRS is known for.
