Over 60 years of experience distributing musical instruments globally has allowed us to meet many musicians,

music professionals, retailers as well as fellow distributors; all of which very passionate about music.

Thanks to them and all these exchanges, we have acquired a great understanding of the expectations of guitarists,

their needs, as well as any emerging trends.

Back in 2007 we decided to draw upon this experience and establish the Angel Lopez brand.

Since then, our mission at Angel Lopez has been to offer a range of classical guitars that meet the expectations of musicians at all levels of playing, from amateur to the more seasoned professional and providing them with quality instruments that respect the standards and heritage of the classical Spanish guitar craft, whilst introducing some of our own modern technical developments.

As seen on major stages across the world with some of the biggest and most famous bands of our time, the status of the Ashdown Bass Amp rig has firmly secured its place in “Rock ‘n’ Roll” history. Setting the stage since ’97, Ashdown have been dedicated to providing bassists with the best possible tone, on stage and in the studio.

​

The Ashdown story began back 1997, but this certainly wasn’t a new venture for company founder Mark Gooday. Having previously been managing director of industry giants Trace Elliot for the 12 years prior to forming Ashdown, Mark was already somewhat of a bass amp pioneer. You could say that Bass was in his blood. Mark’s natural eye for design and enormous attention to detail in terms of bass tone has helped to establish Ashdown as the world’s leading amplifiers on the market.

Albert Augustine was a Dutch immigrant, guitar enthusiast, and burgeoning luthier. He was also a founding member of The New York Society for the Classic Guitar, the first organization to present serious classical guitar concerts in New York City, and the publisher of a prestigious journal called Guitar Review.

Vladimir Bobri, illustrator and editor of Guitar Review, introduced Segovia to Albert, who'd been stringing his guitars with fishing line made out of a new synthetic material developed by the DuPont company. DuPont saw little potential in using this product, which they called nylon, for the application of guitar strings. For Albert and Andrés, it opened up a new world of possibility.

lbert grinded and honed DuPont's nylon monofilament in his basement, refining trebles through countless conversations with Segovia. More challenges awaited in the development of bass strings composed of a core nylon multifilament "thread" that Albert wound in metals ranging from gold to aluminum before he and Segovia agreed that silver produced the most "noble sound."

Albert's strings resounded in Segovia's concerts across the globe, causing a fervor amongst guitarists in need of their own durable, reliable, brilliant strings. Before long, the players that would begin to shape the art of the guitar as it came to be known in the 20th century - from Segovia, to Olga Coelho, to the Abreu Brothers, to a young English prodigy named Julian Bream - were all playing “Augustine Strings.”

Keeping your guitar tuned perfectly can be tricky, even at the best of times.  There are many things that can kill the tone of a guitar and one of the worst of these is grease or residue building up on the strings.  Add to this, the strings sticking in the nut, bridge, and string guides, as well as broken strings, and you have a guitar that grates on your nerves like a blunt saw.

Fear not, though…We have a solution for that.

​

Founded in 1959 by Stuart and Sheila Mercer, in the English town of Nottingham, Carlsbro is among the very oldest British guitar amplifier companies, along with the likes of Vox, Selmer and WEM.

CORDIAL was founded back in the 1970s when the Hermann Adam company in Dachau, at the time a German distributor for Neutrik©, needed suitable cables for the connectors made by said partner. The growing demand led to the opening of a dedicated department in the 1990s, and eventually to the founding of CORDIAL as a legally independent corporation on the 12th of January, 1995. Since then, CORDIAL has been supplying spools of cable and custom cables for MI and professional audio customers.

​

The product portfolio is geared towards the needs of the classic music trade, event technology and installation. In its product development, CORDIAL reacts to the growing needs of the industry and offers cable solutions for instruments, microphones and speakers, as well as network connections, multicore systems, adapters, and DMX, MIDI and digital cables. Particular emphasis is placed on high-quality components such as plug connections and copper, which work reliably even under demanding conditions.

The predecessor of CRAFTER Guitars, SungEum Guitars, was founded in April 1972 by Honorary Chairman Park Hyun-Kwon in a small basement room of his home in Changjeon-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul City. The business, which began with only four craftsmen, quickly prospered and, in its early years, earned a reputation for introducing high-quality classical guitars to the Korean domestic market under the name 'SuneEum Guitars.'

In 1986, Park In-Jae, the son of the founder, took over the second-generation leadership and, in 1991, rebranded the company as SungEum Musical Instruments while becoming the CEO, marking a new turning point.

He launched the Crafter brand, secured trademark registrations worldwide, and began forging new business partnerships while expanding into international markets. For more than 30 years, he represented Crafter at global music trade shows and personally traveled the world in search of the finest tonewoods.

As an acoustic guitar engineer, he led numerous innovations and breakthroughs in both design and construction. The dovetail extension technique, logo design, signature inlays, artwork, and Crafter’s unique bracing patterns—firstly introduced in the 1980s—have been continuously refined over the decades. Today, they remain at the very core of Crafter’s identity, representing both our legacy and our pursuit of tonal excellence.

In 2018, Park In-Jae's son, Park Jun-Seok, took over the family business as the third-generation CEO, rebranding the company as 'Crafter Korea' and continuing the development of the 'Crafter Guitars' brand. He introduced third-generation technologies reflecting trends, including the VVS (Vintage Voicing System), DS-2 Pro+ & Stealth Tuner (Dual Source Preamp System), and the development of the MINO series, leading the brand forward.

Under the leadership of CEO Park Jun-Seok, the entire team at Crafter Korea proudly continues to craft Crafter Guitars driven by the innovation rooted in our excellent craftsmanship—built on decades of expertise, passion, and a deep understanding of acoustic guitars since 1972.

The company, which began with just four craftsmen in a humble basement, has grown into one of the leading Korean guitar brands—standing proudly among global guitar builders and setting new standards in the industry. At Crafter, we believe that every guitar we build is more than just wood and strings—it is a vessel for dreams, hope, and creativity. We remain committed to craft guitars that Korea can take pride in and that resonate with players around the world.

DigiTech is the world’s leader in progressive digital-based tone and effects. DigiTech have always pursued their own vision; to offer cutting-edge digital technology that inspires musicians to create the tones of the future.

They supply a range of digital effects pedals for guitar and bass players, pushing the power of DSP to create tools which inspire the next generation.

The explosion of digital signal processing (DSP) provided a revolution in guitar tone and effects, and the founders of DOD answered the call with the creation of their sister brand, Digitech. These products were some of the first which enabled musicians to access multiple pro studio quality effects from the same compact devices, saving and recalling preset tones for effortless use. The iconic Digitech Whammy series of pitch-bending devices were the first ever to bend pitch digitally and are still unrivalled. The Band Creator series allows players to loop and jam with their own personal bands to create full songs on the fly.

The pursuit of innovation continues to drive everything DigiTech design and produce. Not only do they give musicians ultimate control over incredible tones, but also still push the power of DSP to create tools to inspire the next generation.

Fifty years ago, the effects pedal market wasn’t like today’s. Instead of an internet worth of pedal builders, you had to head to your local guitar shop and choose from two or three brands they carried. DOD was almost always one of them.

Named after co-founder, David O. DiFrancesco, DOD launched its first pedals in the middle of the golden era. It wasn’t long before you started seeing models like the DOD 250 Overdrive Preamp and the DOD 201 Phasor in front of some of the biggest names in electric guitar. Why? Because DOD pedals have always been designed by musicians, for musicians and built tough to withstand gigging night after night. Maybe that’s why they earned the moniker “America’s Pedals.”

Since Cortek’s acquisition of the brand in 2022 (along with sister brand Digitech) DOD pedals have been relaunched and returned to their former glory, bringing back both classic tones, and new innovations.

Evidence Audio was founded in 1997 by Tony Farinella to offer the finest musical instrument and studio cables available. The design methodologies are based on 30 years of research in preserving the quality of sound as it passes through electronics. The approach stems from the idea that in audio, 'less is more' and that no cable can actually improve the quality of what you hear. You can only replace a cable that is causing more distortion with one that causes less damage to the signal.

When Tony first approached us regarding distribution in the UK, Jay was sceptical. His reaction was, “They look great, but they’re kind of expensive.” “Well,” Tony replied, “we make really good cables.” And sometimes, it’s just that simple.

We tried them, we loved them, we distributed them. Absolutely world-beatingly sensational quality, and we would be confident putting an Evidence Audio cable up against any other on the market. There’s a reason a certain Mr Gilmour uses them. And when we say he uses them, we mean he tours with them, records with them, wires his entire studio and signal chain with them. When he - and so other many artists - choose Evidence Audio when they could have anything, we should all take notice.

The game-changing Screw-In Solderless SIS Plug and Monorail combination is now on just about every professional pedalboard out there, redefining what you can expect from pedalboard cables in terms of sound, reliability and function.

This offers minimum contact of ‘string on a fret’ and makes the scale length of every string even. 

Beautiful guitars, unparalleled quality at this price point.

Guitar picks, only better.

For many of us, the humble guitar pick is where tone begins. First contact, human meets guitar… through the pick. But how much difference does a choice of pick make? Huge! 

After more than 20 years of playing the same simple plastic pick, I tried a Gravity pick. It was completely different immediately. The tone, the attack, the way the string vibrated after contact, was all different. And to my ears, better. So we spoke with Gravity and have now been distributing the brand for some years.

Based in California, Gravity picks have been creating handmade picks since 2011. Using superior acrylic-based materials for most of their products, hand finished with a smooth edge, or slightly ‘gritty’ edge (the Master Finish), Gravity provide an exhaustive range of pick shapes, thickness, and sizes. From the ever popular 2mm Classic and Razer shapes, to the more extreme 4mm, even 6mm thick picks in multiple styles. Tone starts here.

Bold designs, carefully selected woods and state of the art technology can all be found in the LAG Guitar range today. The culmination of decades of work, Lâg Guitars all share the same French DNA which has been a part of the story since the first guitars were carefully crafted in the LAG workshop in the Occitanie region of France all those years ago.

These North American built guitars are all crafted using the finest solid tonewoods, with no laminate, ply or synthetic used in Larrivée guitars. The woods are selectively logged, then dried using a combination of air and kiln, sometimes over decades, to ensure they have the optimum tone.

Larrivée’s signature sound of ‘crystal highs, soothing mids and punchy bass’ is achieved through their Scalloped Parabolic Hybrid X-bracing pattern, which was developed by through Jean Larrivée’s lifetime of guitar building.

Larrivée is very much a family business, grown from Jean’s time as an apprentice to the global guitar exporters they have become. To this day, Jean is still heavily involved in the manufacturing process, be it travelling the world in search of exotic woods, or carving necks in the workshop, and always with a smile on his face. Specialist inlays are provided by Jean’s wife Wendy, who has over 40 years of experience delivering breathtaking artistry for Larrivée Guitars.

It all began in a small workshop on Smithdown road, Liverpool.

This location proved beneficial being on one of Liverpools main roads into the city center offering great transport connections to suppliers and customers buying small leather goods from clogs to guitar straps.

After vacating our Wavertree premises we moved into a more suitable factory based in Huyton-With-Roby which allowed us space to grow both our stock and production. As with our previous premises this location provided a great connection with both the city of Liverpool & Manchester being situated between both the M57 & M62.

Their range of volume and expression pedals also bring clever innovation and exceptional construction. Equipped with precise magnetic sensors, they operate essentially wear-free. A high-quality Blackmer® VCA (Voltage Controlled Amplifier) from the United States is used instead of a mechanical potentiometer. The voltage-controlled amplifier operates on the principle that the gain can be adjusted by the control voltage from the Hall sensor. This method provides greater precision compared to traditional mechanical potentiometers or optical sensors found in standard volume pedals. Furthermore, it eliminates the typical noise associated with potentiometers and simplifies the adjustment process. Over the entire control range they transmit the full sound spectrum of the connected instrument. The input and output impedance always stay the same, ensuring that there will be no damping of higher frequencies as with potentiometers.

 THE ORIGIN OF LEVINSON SCEPTRE

"It’s been over 50 years since I started building and repairing guitars. I’ve had the honor of building instruments for some of the world’s greatest guitarists over this expanse of time..." 

 A guitar is the sum of its parts. Woods, finish, hardware, pickups, construction method and precision. It all has to be right and live in harmony in the instrument or the result will not be optimal. Choosing the most expensive components is no guaranty that the instrument will be excellent.

Mad Professor started in Finland in 2002 when the legendary high-end CS40 amplifier was introduced. These days Mad Professor are even better known for their boutique guitar effects pedals. Since 2006 they have created more than 40 different pedals with unique circuits. 

The Mad Professor team has decades of experience in working with boutique and vintage guitars, amplifiers and pedals. While this gives them a great background, but they are not just offering re-workings of classic amps and pedals - all of the models are their own designs. 

​

Mad Professor is all about the love of tone and building lifetime tools for professional and demanding players to express themselves in unique ways.

Massive Unity is the brainchild of Spain’s guitar supremo, Danny Gomez. Danny has spent years playing in the We Will Rock You musical, analyzing every Queen song - not just the notes, but the guitar tones and details that make them special. Danny’s intimate knowledge of classic Queen tones inspired him to create a truly wonderful pedal. With the innovative Tube Amplifier Emulator (TAE) circuit he has created a tone that can go direct to desk and still have all the feel and reaction of a genuine AC-type amplifier. The 10th Anniversary TAE is truly a Killer (Queen) pedal.

Missing Link Audio creates handcrafted gear for players who refuse to settle for “close enough.” Every pedal is built with one goal in mind: capturing the unmistakable character, warmth, and response of true vintage tone — the kind that feels alive under your fingers.

​

This is about more than sound. It’s about that moment, the one that made you fall in love with playing in the first place. The first time a note rang out and meant something. The first time tone stopped you in your tracks. Missing Link Audio exists for musicians chasing that feeling again, and pushing it even further.

​

If you’ve spent years dialing in your rig, swapping components, and endlessly searching for the right combination, you’re not alone. That pursuit is exactly where Missing Link Audio was born. It’s built by people who understand that tone isn’t just technical; it’s deeply personal.

Now and then, a product comes along that makes you wonder ‘Why didn’t someone think of this before?’ So simple, and yet so effective. The humble jack socket has existed as the point of contact between instrument and cable for decades. But historically, it hasn't been perfect.

Pure Tone have taken the jack socket and doubled up on all the points of contact. The result? The patented Pure Tone jack contains dual tension grounds and dual positive tips for optimal signal and the lowest possible noise. 100% greater surface area at all contact points creates a more stable connection; as a result, high and low frequencies are greatly improved, creating a much more balanced sound while eliminating frequency spikes. No more noise crackle caused by pressure grounds!

The Pure Tone jack allows for increased current handling at 500 volts for high-current applications. Tensioned design locks the cable securely in place while the increased metal mass carries more signal.

When we started working with Thermion, we really didn’t need another brand of guitar pedals. But, ever curious, we couldn’t resist checking them out. Handmade in Albacete, Spain, they looked great, out side and in (yes, we always take a peak at the bits we’re not meant to look at). They were beautifully put together and seemed to cover some areas that our other brands did not. In the age of so many pedals being mass-produced in China, these were still handmade, and with some features we’d just not seen on other pedals. Thermion pedals looked like something special. And then we plugged them in.

The Heartbreaker left us quivering as though we’d turned up a full stack WAY too loud. So much character and depth to the sound. With the Black Sun we could create any amount of rotary and phaser tones. These are seriously good.

In 2021 Thermion produced an amplifier for the pedalboard, the ZERO. Crammed with features again, the real magic was just in the sound. This is another one of those products that every working musician would love to have. We’re honoured to have Thermion pedals as part of our range. They’re stunning; everyone should try them!

Brian Wampler first started to get noticed as the guy who could modify other people's pedals to get incredible tone. Then, still working from his garage, he started to get demand for his own pedal designs from guitarists. Artists such as Brad Paisley and Brent Mason noticed, and soon the secret was out: Brian made simply extraordinary-sounding guitar pedals.

Over the past few years, demand for Wampler products has grown beyond a handful of boutique pedals, and now Wampler mass-produces great-sounding, tone-packed pedals without compromising on quality.

The Wampler Tumnus has become an industry standard, and for many guitarists, it’s their ‘always on’ pedal.
