...and he has made some beautiful sounds with it (when does he not?!). Here's a bunch of the videos he's made so far with the guitar!
New pedal demo! The Yellowcake Pedals 'Lida Machine'

New pedal demo! The Yellowcake Pedals 'Lida Machine'

It has been a very long time since I've released a demo video featuring me for quite some time. I touched on the reason why that has been the case on the latest VLOG (also discussing the Sterling Albert Lee demo guitar), so it was about time I tentatively dipped my toes back in the water with making some demos again. I figured I'd start by recording some sounds with one of my favourite pedals one I proudly represent here at James' Home of Tone, the Yellowcake Lida Machine! I hope you enjoy
Home of Tone is now proudly supporting the Stephen Lawrence Charitable Trust

Home of Tone is now proudly supporting the Stephen Lawrence Charitable Trust

As some of you may already know, I have run modest charity fundraisers since the early inception of the Home of Tone. Either by selling limited edition T-Shirts with the profits being donated to a chosen charity, or even gig events and social gatherings which have been really enjoyable moments and have helped raise a brilliant amount of money for charity. I've championed Mind Charity, a cause close to my heart for a number of years now, and will continue to do so where possible. But I wanted to also contribute to another charity going forward and since my last event back in November 2019, it has been on my mind about which charity that will be....

Ground Control Audio Amaterasu & Tsukuyomi are due back in stock

Ground Control Audio Amaterasu & Tsukuyomi are due back in stock

After a little delay, I've managed to secure my next batch of Ground Control Audio Amaterasu bright pre-amps & Tsukuyomi Mid Boosts! Although the majority of these have already been secured via pre-order reservations, I do have some spare that are available. These have become incredibly popular since the great Andy Martin demos and of course, Amaterasu player, Yvette Young too heavily influencing the use of this great pedal. So if you're looking to grab one, this is the time! 
Both back in stock and on the website ready to order!

Many thanks, and apologies for this delay in obtaining more of these.

Welcoming Descendant Vibrato to the Home of Tone family!

Welcoming Descendant Vibrato to the Home of Tone family!

I’ve admired Chris’ development of his Descendant Vibrato unit since his instagram account documenting the design first came about. The ideas behind his design spoke to me as something that would be a great, relevant addition to the offset guitar world. So I’m very proud to say that I’ve recently confirmed my first stock order and am now a UK dealer for the Descendant Vibrato! I’ll be accepting pre-orders soon, but I’m holding off a little bit until the assembly date is a little closer so I can better estimate the delivery for customers. Stock will be carried in the UK, and left handed offset owners will hopefully be pleased to hear I will also be carrying stock of the left handed units too.
Young Miles' new Squier Mini Jazzmaster! | My review, and subsequent pop punk mod!

Young Miles' new Squier Mini Jazzmaster! | My review, and subsequent pop punk mod!

Rewind to January and the Winter NAMM show, which seems like a lifetime ago now! One of the coolest product announcements I saw was from Squier, introducing another classic shape to their 'mini' series, with my beloved Jazzmaster! I was incredibly keen to see these hit UK shores as our young son loves to strum the guitars in the house. Needless to say though, he finds it incredibly difficult to sit with the full sized counterparts, so I have been on the lookout for a 'mini' 3/4 or 1/2 sized guitar for him to have a go with. Inspiring a young person to want to play an instrument is such an important thing to me, and I must say, Miles has known many guitar-savvy words from a very early age, 'Jazzmaster' being one of them, so this little mini version was the perfect fit!
