Chapman Guitars – I am honoured to be part of the Chapman Guitars heritage and have a wonderful endorsement deal with a great company, no, not company, FAMILY. Chapman make highly affordable guitars with great spec and always in limited quantity, so every one you buy is sure to go down in history.

Hughes & Kettner – The World’s greatest amps? Certainly up there imo. I adore my Trilogy head and I am looking to get more H&K stuff soon, truly magnificent amps that combine the very best state of the art technology into the vintage designs we all know and love.

Zilla Cabs – Fantastic, high quality, hand-made-to-order (in the UK) guitar speaker cabs in a variety of styles and sizes. I’ve been rocking my 2×12 Studio Pro since April 2011 now and have never been happier.

Bob Burt FX Pedals – Bob Burt is a renowned speaker cabinet maker from the USA who branched out into the effects pedal market with some wonderful designs. His Overdrive and Clean Boost have been staples on my pedalboard and if I could only take one pedal to a gig, it would have to be the Overdrive.
