      • Bad CatAt Bad Cat, we are laying the foundations of a bold and exciting future of tone. The natural evolution of our company and products builds on our knowledge and reputation in guitar amplification. By continuously seeking  innovation, we are inspired to design outstanding purpose-built products, allowing players to express themselves in their own, personal way. Naturally, all amps can be traced back to a handful of original designs- those pillars of tone we all hold sacred and true –  but at Bad Cat, we have no interest in offering another spin on the past.  We are constantly challenging ourselves to think differently, be creative, and broaden our horizons while always mindful of delivering extraordinary tone and unmatched customer service. Each Bad Cat amplifier is thoughtfully designed to be incredibly flexible without the need for fussy design and overcrowded control panels. This results in an amp which offers the player the shortest route and an  instant connection to tone, an amp that never gets in the way of creativity. When you experience a Bad Cat for the first time, you’ll notice clarity, tonal agility, dynamics, and balance. Players and artists choose our amps for our classic lines, dependability, playability, and most…

      • KHDKKHDK begins… It feels like a long time ago. We grew up taking odd jobs and saving money to buy gear. We grew up trading guitar pedals to try out as many as possible. We grew up loving music and sound – and through the years, this love remained. Nocturnal Beginnings In 2012, we found ourselves in Prague drinking too many of the world’s best beers and discussing tone. In the early hours of the morning, we decided it was a brilliant idea to breathe fresh air (with sulphuric notes of the underworld) into the world of guitar effects. “Let’s Build Some Crazy Shit!” Through a good friend and one of the best guitar techs out there, Jason Baskin, we found the future KHDK head engineer, Antonin Salva. Antonin is industry insiders’ tone wizard who has worked with greats like Billy Corgan. So we showed up on his doorstep and told him that we’re starting a pedal company and does he want to join? Getting him on board was easy – like us, he is a total gear nerd. But Not Everything Was That Easy The process involved parting ways with a manufacturer after they had already completed the first…

      • Origin EffectsABOUT ORIGIN EFFECTS Origin Effects was founded in 2012, but the story starts a few years earlier with a single home-made pedal. After playing through a pair of Urei 1176 studio compressors he was repairing, company founder Simon Keats set about designing a pedal that could produce the same impeccable sound, surpassing that of other stompbox compressors. The result would eventually become the Cali76, and the response that its first incarnation got from other musicians convinced Simon that there was a need for genuinely high-quality, studio-grade guitar pedals. This desire to make the best possible products has informed the complete Origin Effects lineup, from industry-leading compressors to ground breaking amp-inspired overdrive pedals. All share the same quality and attention to detail that has garnered artist endorsements, rave reviews, and fantastic feedback from the guitar-playing community. As our range and reputation has grown, so too has the Origin Effects team, with each member of staff united by a genuine enthusiasm for the products and for making music. From our factory in Buckingham, England we hand-build and listen test every single pedal we make. Each of our new designs is meticulously tested to meet the same high standards we started with, and…
      • Patrick James Eggle GuitarsBorn in St Albans, England in 1964, the third child of a building engineer and woodwork enthusiast father and an artist mother, Patrick was encouraged by his parents and his school woodwork teacher to build his first guitar as a project. Dissatisfied with the results, he pulled it apart and started work on another, then another…. An obsession was born! Over the decades Patrick has gained a reputation for designing and building some of the finest guitars in the world, some of which have been owned by icons such as Toni Iommi, Albert Lee and Rory Gallagher to name a very few.  His instruments feature regularly in world press and his opinions and expertise are sought out by institutions such as the BBC… He is a popular speaker at guitar exhibitions and music shows. In the Early nineties Patrick ran guitar production at the Company in Coventry, England which bore his name.  In 1994 he parted company and has been working and trading independently ever since, living and working in both the UK and the USA. Now husband and father, these days, he works with a small team of craftsmen, producing a limited number of high end electric guitars from…

      • Rock N Roll RelicsRock N Roll Relics’ Billy knows a thing or two about what makes a killer guitar. Well he would, wouldn’t he? After growing up and learning his licks from the classic rock of the ‘70s, the San Francisco native ended up right there in the middle of the 1980s rock explosion that first lit up Hollywood’s Sunset Strip, then blew out the entire world’s speakers. Billy played rhythm and slide guitar in Jetboy, one of the pioneer acts of the incredible scene that spawned Guns N’ Roses and Poison. Jetboy were tight with all of them, and were equal darlings of the Hollywood scene. But there always has to be a hard luck tale in any rock’n’roll saga – and Jetboy was it. Bad timing and plain bad luck meant that despite major label albums, Jetboy never scaled the heights of their peers – but stadium rock’s loss is the guitar player’s gain. After decades as a touring musician and tech, Billy Rowe had shredded guitars and rebuilt them over and over. Recognizing that he had plenty to offer the world of guitar making, Billy launched Rock N Roll Relics in 2005, driven by a passion to hand-build nothing less…

      • StringjoyWhy Strings? Why not make guitars, or pedals — y’know, something a little more…fun. Well, the fact that people ask that is exactly why we make strings. See, guitars are fun. Amps are fun. Pedals are tons of fun. But strings? For most folks that’s just something you grab off the rack — an excuse to go to the guitar shop down the street and check out all the gear that’s a little more, well — fun. Strings are way, way more important than people think. When you play the guitar, you’re really playing the strings. You manipulate the length or tension of each string to create a given pitch. That pitch resonates through the wood of the guitar or engages the electromagnetic field of your pickups to create the sound you know and love. If you were to write the true signal chain of an electric guitar tone, it would go something like this: Strings > Wood > Pickups > Electronics > Cable > Pedal > Cable > Pedal > Cable > (etc) > Amp > Speaker > Microphone > Cable > Preamp > Outboard Effects > DAW/Speaker System. Notice where that all started? The strings. Yeah — they’re…

San Fernando Valley 1998 Southern California The one man company began by producing high-quality bass guitars and bass preamps. Xotic Basses needed a feature that set them apart from the competition and thus the built in Tri-Logic Bass Preamp was created. Xotic’s low profile side project donned a new innovative and creative invention. The Robotalk 1 became the first pedal yet to be called Xotic. It set the precedent of boutique build and tone that remains with Xotic today! All pedals created are to be constructed equally … of the highest quality in build and tone.

      • GretschWith its emphasis on hand-craftsmanship and commitment to quality over a storied 135 years and counting, Gretsch has pioneered new designs and manufacturing techniques, winning endorsements from some of the music industry’s most respected artists, including Chet Atkins, Eddie Cochran, Billy Duffy, Bono, Duane Eddy, George Harrison, Brian Setzer, Stephen Stills and Malcolm Young. It all began in 1883, when 27-year-old Friedrich Gretsch, a German immigrant, founded his shop in Brooklyn, New York, and began to make banjos, drums and tambourines. Only 12 years later Friedrich died, leaving the fledgling company in the hands of his teenage son Fred. While it may be an unlikely start for a century-plus long musical legacy, young Fred wasn’t the typical teen. By 1916 he had built the company into one of America’s leading importers and manufacturers of musical instruments, and the operations moved into a 10-story building at 60 Broadway in Brooklyn. Fred knew that listening to what the public wanted was the key to growth, and the public wanted guitars. So, Gretsch began making guitars – initially offering acoustic archtops aimed at jazz musicians, and a handful of flat-tops for country-western performers. Meanwhile, 1935 marked an important year for the company —…

      • LarrivéeAbout Larrivée This is our song Today, we are a new generation of talented guitar makers – building instruments as extraordinary and unique as the people who craft them – and who play them. We are inspired by the passion and guided by the lifetime of experiences of our leader, Jean Larrivée, whose legendary craftsmanship still finds its way into every guitar that bears his name. Our guitars are built with only the finest solid woods available – no plys, laminates (layered), or synthetic woods are ever used in construction. We use FSC wood and engage in as much selective logging as possible. This means we like to be there, in the forest, personally taking part. Imagine, when we begin to create your instrument, we begin on the forest floor. Above all, our goal is ‘affordable luxury’ – we aim to put high-end guitars into the hands of all players. We don’t want to build the most guitars. We want to build the best.

      • ESPESP has come a long way since it was founded in the back of a Tokyo music store in 1975. Originally specializing in high-end replacement and upgrade parts, the company’s work got so popular that guitarists and bassists started clamoring for us to build complete instruments. We listened, and the result was an excellent line of guitars and basses that’s still going strong today, four decades later. Musicians of all styles have come to swear by ESP, but they’re especially sought-after for metal and rock. Just look at Kirk Hammett of Metallica and Chad Gilbert of New Found Glory for example: they’re only two of the many high-profile musicians who rock it out on an ESP guitar. More interested in a bass? You’ll find plenty of ESP action there, too, in the hands of bassists like Kampfar’s Jon Bakker and Ill Niño’s Lazaro Pina. The bottom line is that if you’re looking for examples of ESP instruments played on the A-list stage, you won’t have to look far to find them. The first step to choosing an ESP of your own will be to decide whether you’re after a guitar or bass. Of course, no one could blame you for…

      • Patrick James Eggle GuitarsBorn in St Albans, England in 1964, the third child of a building engineer and woodwork enthusiast father and an artist mother, Patrick was encouraged by his parents and his school woodwork teacher to build his first guitar as a project. Dissatisfied with the results, he pulled it apart and started work on another, then another…. An obsession was born! Over the decades Patrick has gained a reputation for designing and building some of the finest guitars in the world, some of which have been owned by icons such as Toni Iommi, Albert Lee and Rory Gallagher to name a very few.  His instruments feature regularly in world press and his opinions and expertise are sought out by institutions such as the BBC… He is a popular speaker at guitar exhibitions and music shows. In the Early nineties Patrick ran guitar production at the Company in Coventry, England which bore his name.  In 1994 he parted company and has been working and trading independently ever since, living and working in both the UK and the USA. Now husband and father, these days, he works with a small team of craftsmen, producing a limited number of high end electric guitars from…

      • Rock N Roll RelicsRock N Roll Relics’ Billy knows a thing or two about what makes a killer guitar. Well he would, wouldn’t he? After growing up and learning his licks from the classic rock of the ‘70s, the San Francisco native ended up right there in the middle of the 1980s rock explosion that first lit up Hollywood’s Sunset Strip, then blew out the entire world’s speakers. Billy played rhythm and slide guitar in Jetboy, one of the pioneer acts of the incredible scene that spawned Guns N’ Roses and Poison. Jetboy were tight with all of them, and were equal darlings of the Hollywood scene. But there always has to be a hard luck tale in any rock’n’roll saga – and Jetboy was it. Bad timing and plain bad luck meant that despite major label albums, Jetboy never scaled the heights of their peers – but stadium rock’s loss is the guitar player’s gain. After decades as a touring musician and tech, Billy Rowe had shredded guitars and rebuilt them over and over. Recognizing that he had plenty to offer the world of guitar making, Billy launched Rock N Roll Relics in 2005, driven by a passion to hand-build nothing less…

      • StringjoyWhy Strings? Why not make guitars, or pedals — y’know, something a little more…fun. Well, the fact that people ask that is exactly why we make strings. See, guitars are fun. Amps are fun. Pedals are tons of fun. But strings? For most folks that’s just something you grab off the rack — an excuse to go to the guitar shop down the street and check out all the gear that’s a little more, well — fun. Strings are way, way more important than people think. When you play the guitar, you’re really playing the strings. You manipulate the length or tension of each string to create a given pitch. That pitch resonates through the wood of the guitar or engages the electromagnetic field of your pickups to create the sound you know and love. If you were to write the true signal chain of an electric guitar tone, it would go something like this: Strings > Wood > Pickups > Electronics > Cable > Pedal > Cable > Pedal > Cable > (etc) > Amp > Speaker > Microphone > Cable > Preamp > Outboard Effects > DAW/Speaker System. Notice where that all started? The strings. Yeah — they’re…

      • GretschWith its emphasis on hand-craftsmanship and commitment to quality over a storied 135 years and counting, Gretsch has pioneered new designs and manufacturing techniques, winning endorsements from some of the music industry’s most respected artists, including Chet Atkins, Eddie Cochran, Billy Duffy, Bono, Duane Eddy, George Harrison, Brian Setzer, Stephen Stills and Malcolm Young. It all began in 1883, when 27-year-old Friedrich Gretsch, a German immigrant, founded his shop in Brooklyn, New York, and began to make banjos, drums and tambourines. Only 12 years later Friedrich died, leaving the fledgling company in the hands of his teenage son Fred. While it may be an unlikely start for a century-plus long musical legacy, young Fred wasn’t the typical teen. By 1916 he had built the company into one of America’s leading importers and manufacturers of musical instruments, and the operations moved into a 10-story building at 60 Broadway in Brooklyn. Fred knew that listening to what the public wanted was the key to growth, and the public wanted guitars. So, Gretsch began making guitars – initially offering acoustic archtops aimed at jazz musicians, and a handful of flat-tops for country-western performers. Meanwhile, 1935 marked an important year for the company —…

      • LarrivéeAbout Larrivée This is our song Today, we are a new generation of talented guitar makers – building instruments as extraordinary and unique as the people who craft them – and who play them. We are inspired by the passion and guided by the lifetime of experiences of our leader, Jean Larrivée, whose legendary craftsmanship still finds its way into every guitar that bears his name. Our guitars are built with only the finest solid woods available – no plys, laminates (layered), or synthetic woods are ever used in construction. We use FSC wood and engage in as much selective logging as possible. This means we like to be there, in the forest, personally taking part. Imagine, when we begin to create your instrument, we begin on the forest floor. Above all, our goal is ‘affordable luxury’ – we aim to put high-end guitars into the hands of all players. We don’t want to build the most guitars. We want to build the best.

      • ESPESP has come a long way since it was founded in the back of a Tokyo music store in 1975. Originally specializing in high-end replacement and upgrade parts, the company’s work got so popular that guitarists and bassists started clamoring for us to build complete instruments. We listened, and the result was an excellent line of guitars and basses that’s still going strong today, four decades later. Musicians of all styles have come to swear by ESP, but they’re especially sought-after for metal and rock. Just look at Kirk Hammett of Metallica and Chad Gilbert of New Found Glory for example: they’re only two of the many high-profile musicians who rock it out on an ESP guitar. More interested in a bass? You’ll find plenty of ESP action there, too, in the hands of bassists like Kampfar’s Jon Bakker and Ill Niño’s Lazaro Pina. The bottom line is that if you’re looking for examples of ESP instruments played on the A-list stage, you won’t have to look far to find them. The first step to choosing an ESP of your own will be to decide whether you’re after a guitar or bass. Of course, no one could blame you for…
