Guitar Nerds
KMA Cirrus & Ashdown Ant
Guitar Nerds is brought to you in association with Faith Guitars, Ernie Ball, and KMA Audio Machines.
Faith Guitars:
Based right here in the UK, Faith Guitars are designed by British guitar luthier Patrick James Eggle, who has been hand-building guitars for decades for some of the biggest names in the business.
Discover the range here and then visit one of the many UK or European retailers to try them for yourselves.
If you’re in the USA or Canada, you can buy direct HERE – and by using the COUPON CODE: NERDS at checkout you can get an exclusive 10% discount.
New Ernie Ball Slinky Strings:
Introducing the all-new Primo, Mega, and Mammoth Slinkys from Ernie Ball.
Primo Slinky and Mega Slinky sets feature half-gauge strings, with Primo ranging from nine and a half to forty four, and Mega running from ten and a half to forty eight. Designed for drop tunings, the Mammoth strings boast a gauge range of twelve to sixty two and are now the heaviest Slinky strings available. Learn more about Primo, Mega, and Mammoth Slinkys HERE.
KMA Audio Machines:
KMA Audio Machines are hand-made from start to finish and with an unwavering passion for perfection, each and every pedal is designed using custom double- sided PCBs, assembled, silk-screened, tested and numbered by hand in their own workshop, all of which guarantees high-quality, while the use of a virtually indestructible powder-coated die-cast enclosure ensures maximum durability.
We’ve teamed up with ThorpyFX to giveaway one ThorpyFX Heavy Water Duel High Headroom Boost pedal. Highly ranked by all the Nerds in last year’s GOTY as an absolutely fantastic make gooderer!
