SHIPPING TO THE USA – The Royal Mail has created a new PDDP (Postal Delivery Duties Paid) service, which will calculate exact costs at the moment we book your shipping. While we are happy to absorb some of the costs, if the cost of the pre-paid duty is significantly more than what you have paid when placing your order, we will be in touch to request the balance is covered by you.
If in doubt, get in touch and we can give you an accurate quote in advance.
We offer free 48-hour tracked UK delivery on all orders over £150! Order before 9pm for next-working-day dispatch.
We offer 30-day hassle-free returns so you can pick the item you want safe in the knowledge that if it's not for you, we'll take it back and refund your order.
International deliveries are subject to additional import duties and VAT at your local rate. These charges are payable to the courier at time of delivery. Calculate how much you will need to pay here.
Please note that some orders may take longer to be processed before shipping during the busiest periods of the year.

It is recommended that items should be returned using a trackable shipping service in case the item goes missing en route.
The Drunk Beaver Bloom V2 is a modded version of the mid-1990s Japanese-made Bixonic Expandora overdrive, as used by the likes of Billy Gibbons, Joe Satriani, Megadeth and Slipknot. It's not a widely known pedal, but those who know it rate it highly!
The Bloom is an extremely versatile pedal with plenty of volume and headroom, and its various modes of overdrive, distortion and fuzz. If you need an all-in-one pedal, or just fancy adding some new shades of gain to your pedalboard, then this is the one for you!
The version 2 Bloom builds on the v1 and makes some significant changes. The LM308N op-amp has been replaced with a MC1458N dual opamp, which improves the pedal's tonality, making it less compressed and giving a thicker yet more "open" sound.
Vitalii has also added a Fat toggle to adjust the frequency response of the pedal.
"Volume" - Adjusts output level.
"Tone" - Controls high-frequency response.
"Gain" - Adjusts the amount of gain (pretty self explanatory!)
"Voice" switch - Select between 3 clipping modes:
"Mode" switch - Select between 4 modes:
"Fat" toggle - Switch between Fat, Tight & Classic frequency responses.
An internal LED brightness trimmer allows you to adjust the status LED brightness.
