Mini Guitar Pedals

Mini guitar pedals are super-popular thanks to the fact that you can now have double the amount of pedals before because they’re generally half the size of a standard guitar pedal! We stock the top mini pedal brands including Tone City, Mooer and Hotone who all specialise in making these tiny guitar pedals. Other big-hitting pedal companies such as TC Electronic, Dunlop, MXR and even Way Huge have all got a range of mini pedals with a number of other companies jumping on the bandwagon too.

 

It’s worth saying that a lot of these pedals have simply had their circuit boards shrunken-down to a mini size and as such you’re not sacrificing tone in any way at all. These mini pedals still have plenty of punch!

Portable Recorders/Mobile Interfaces

The mobile interface is the ultimate recording companion for the musician on the move!

 

In recent years we’ve seen shifting trends in the tech world. Desktop computers were usurped by laptops, which in-turn faced stiff competition from smartphones and tablets. The music production business has kept up to speed; there’s now a wide variety of mobile-compatible recording interfaces available on the market!

With a number of options to choose from, you’re bound to find something that suits your needs. We stock interfaces compatible with iOS and Android, as well as lightning-connectible versions that work perfectly with newer iPhones and iPads. Some are designed to take a single instrument input like a guitar, while others are essentially all-in-one microphone/preamp combinations.

Guitar Headphone Amps

In a live performance setting, nothing beats a big amp stack that pumps out lots of volume. But at home, this kind of rig doesn't really work — especially if you have thin walls and attentive neighbours! Of course, there are plenty of small combo amps and practice amps on the market which give you great sounds at lower volumes and without taking up too much space. However, you can go even smaller if you want to. That's where guitar headphone amps come in!

 

These portable units, which you can easily store in your guitar's case/gig bag or in a draw/cupboard at home, let you enjoy immersive amp tones without the need for an actual amplifier or speaker. Typically equipped with multiple sounds and even built-in effects, they provide you with enough versatility to feel like you're getting the most out of your practice sessions. Just plug one of these into your guitar, connect a pair of headphones — and jam away! A lot of these units even boast auxiliary inputs and bluetooth connectivity too, so that you can play along to songs or backing tracks from your computer/phone.

Silent Practice Bundles

Does the person in mind for your Christmas gift want to start playing the guitar, but needs to be able to practice without disturbing the neighbours? Thankfully we have put together some silent bundles which contain everything needed to start playing & practicing the guitar with a headphone amp that plugs into the guitar loaded with fantastic guitar effects, with a pair of headphones plugged in!

Incredible Percussion

Often considered the unsung hero of the ensemble mix, we at Andertons Music Co. know just how vital percussion can be - so we've made sure that we have plenty on offer! Our range features everything you'll need for a pumping percussion section - whether it's simple streetside busking or a full gigging ensemble setup, you'll find everything you need right here! To add a little extra 'shake' to your arrangements, why not check out our selection of shakers and tambourines?

 

Maybe you just need to buy a tambourine to channel your inner Liam Gallagher!

 

We have over 100 different options for you to find the perfect item for you. Got a bit of musical space to fill? Add a woody, latin-esque element with our wealth of woodblocks, claves, cowbells and more available. Or if you need some simple rhythmic accompaniment and fancy something a little more characterful, we've got over 120 cajons, bongos, congas and more to choose from!
