Really happy with the PC and the service received. Communication was excellent throughout the build process. All delivered in good time and received with plenty of helpful advice, especially from Kieran after delivery to help me set it up.

Will definitely recommend. Many thanks

Snark SN1X Clip On Guitar Tuner - Blue

Ordered guitar strings which arrived in two days, inside package was an offer for a guitar tuner which also arrived in two days. Excellent customer service.

Terence Hamilton
Audio Direct

At the offer price this was very good value for money. I have generally found Snark tuners to be very good although with the low tunings I use I often find they can take a little time to give an accurate reading moving from string to string. Otherwise, Great!

The Snark SN1X clip on guitar tuner is a very handy and accurate tuner, very easy to use and at a great prices too! 👍🌟🍺😸

Jason Davey
Snark SN1X Clip On Guitar Tuner - Blue

This is my second Snark Tuner, there are various versions, this one is for use at home the other is RF shielded and has rubber protection incase dropped. Both work excellent and are the best clip-on tuners I have used. The service given by Audio Direct was first class, Dave even telephoned me to discuss a query I had not something many online traders would do so overall 10/10

NUX Loop Core Stereo Looper Pedal

It sounds like it's supposed to sound, easy to shape the tone on each of my electric guitars. Yes, each of the amplugs is a one (or two) trick pony, but they do what they're supposed to well, and they each sound like the amp they emulate.
