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.
Vintage
A vintage guitar is a guitar that is considered to be of significant age, typically over 30 years old, and often possesses historical, cultural, or collector’s value. Vintage guitars are highly sought after by collectors, musicians, and enthusiasts for their craftsmanship, tone, playability, and historical significance.
Vintage guitars can come from various eras, each with its own unique characteristics and desirability.
Vintage guitars often exhibit signs of wear and aging, which can add to their character and authenticity. However, originality, condition, and provenance are crucial factors that determine the value of a vintage guitar. Well-maintained and all-original vintage guitars with documented history and provenance tend to command higher prices on the collector’s market.
While vintage guitars can be valuable investments, they are also cherished for their playability and the unique sonic characteristics they offer. Many musicians prefer vintage instruments for their mojo, vibe, and connection to music history.
Wah Pedal
A wah pedal is a type of guitar effects pedal that alters the tone and frequencies of the guitar signal to create a sound similar to a human voice saying “wah.” This effect is achieved by rocking the pedal back and forth with the foot, which shifts a peak in the frequency response of the signal, producing the characteristic wah sound. The wah pedal is commonly used in a variety of music genres, including rock, funk, and blues, to add expressiveness and dynamic variation to guitar solos and riffs.
Some of the most highly regarded wah pedals include the Dunlop Cry Baby, Vox V847, and the Fulltone Clyde Standard Wah. The Dunlop Cry Baby is perhaps the most famous wah pedal, known for its rugged construction and classic sound. The Vox V847 is another iconic model, favored for its vintage tone and smooth operation. The Fulltone Clyde Standard Wah is praised for its high-quality components and customizable settings, offering a wide range of wah tones.
Many legendary musicians have used wah pedals to create memorable and influential music. Jimi Hendrix is perhaps the most famous user, with iconic tracks like “Voodoo Child (Slight Return)” showcasing his masterful use of the wah pedal. Eric Clapton’s use of the wah on Cream’s “White Room” is another classic example. In more recent times, Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine has used the wah pedal to great effect, particularly in songs like “Killing in the Name.” These musicians have demonstrated the expressive power and versatility of the wah pedal, cementing its place as a staple in the guitarist’s toolkit.
