SUBZERO ROCK GUITAR HEADPHONE AMP

The perfect gift for a guitarist who’s constantly jamming…

We all know that one person who can’t stop playing guitar, even in the early hours of the morning! The first entry on our Christmas gift guide is the SubZero Rock Guitar Headphone Amp – a great gift for them (or you!). Not only is it a super useful guitar gift, but it also makes for an excellent stocking filler.

They simply have to plug this into their guitar, connect their headphones, and start playing. It even comes with tone and gain controls for the perfect sound!

What if they want to play along with their favourite tracks? That’s not a problem at all, they can just use the in-built aux slot and connect a phone or laptop!

Batteries can be a real killer for any guitarist – you’re playing along and then all of a sudden you’ve got no sound and no spare batteries. Thankfully, this isn’t a problem with the SubZero Rock Guitar Headphone Amp; it’s USB rechargeable and even comes with a cable.

SUBZERO HIDDEN GEM EQ PEDAL

Great for guitarists who have just started performing live and want to shape their sound.

Low-quality guitars, cheap amps, a small venue… there are so many factors that can impact a guitarist’s playing ability. But what’s the solution?

Splash out on loads of high-end gear? You could do but that’s going to set you back hundreds, if not thousands, of pounds!

The SubZero Hidden Gem EQ Pedal offers a great solution here – it allows any guitarist to make the necessary tweaks and achieve the sound they deserve.

This can be used to deal with all of those silly buzzwords that guitarists and sound engineers love – ‘body’, ‘boxiness’, ‘bite’, ‘presence’, you name it.

With hands-on controls, it’s easy to shape the perfect tone.

SUBZERO COMPACT RECHARGEABLE WIRELESS SYSTEM

Ideal for guitarists who can’t keep still on stage!

We’ve all seen that guitarist who gets a bit carried away on stage – their guitar lead is too short, they come into the crowd and… well, you know the rest. Save the hassle of split drinks and embarrassment with the SubZero Compact Rechargeable Wireless System!

The enemy of musicians with wireless tech is latency. There’s nothing worse than trying to play and hearing yourself back with a delay. Your guitarist won’t need to worry about latency here, though. This system has been designed to keep latency to a minimum to make playing enjoyable – as it should be!

Suitable for distances of up to 20m – they’re likely to have a guitar technician before needing a range longer than this! Similarly, with a battery life of 4.5 hours, there’s little chance of this running out whilst they’re playing.

GUITARWORKS DUO CUTAWAY DIY KIT

The ideal gift for that guitarist who also loves Lego!

If you have a friend who loves making things, the Guitarworks Duo-Cutaway DIY Electric Guitar Kit is one of the best guitar gifts for them. Not only will they know how to build a guitar from scratch, but they’ll also be able to fix it if it goes wrong. This is a great starting point for understanding exactly how a guitar works.

It also comes with full instructions and an assembly video, meaning that a quality-finished guitar is guaranteed, regardless of skill level.

Better still, it’s been cleverly designed to be put together using standard household tools – no need for any specialist equipment.

There’s nothing better than being able to tell people, “I made this guitar”!

SUBZERO ROLLERCOASTER LOOPER PEDAL

A great gift for a singer-songwriter who’s wanting to take their performance to the next level.

It’s an exciting experience watching a performer build up their song from scratch. Loop pedals are a great way for solo musicians to add a bit more excitement to their live set. This can go way beyond ‘sounding like Ed Sheeran’ (although if that’s your thing, play away to your heart’s content!).

The SubZero Rollercoaster is a great first loop pedal. With its simple and easy controls, it takes no time at all to get going! You might think that this means it’s limited, but you’d be wrong. With three separate tracks, looping for up to 30 minutes, and unlimited overdubs, the possibilities are endless.

The separate tracks are also a handy tool if mistakes are made – your aspiring singer-songwriter can remove one track without killing the whole song!

It even allows the user to save loops, upload, and download them using the built-in USB port – they’ll never be without a sound!

SUBZERO MICRO PEDALS 3-PACK – ESSENTIALS

The perfect gift if they’ve just joined a band.

In this day and age, a pedalboard is a must-have for a guitarist who wants to play live. Searching for the right pedals, though, can be a real challenge, especially for beginners!

There are three things a guitarist needs from a pedalboard – delay, overdrive, and, crucially, a tuner. This is where the SubZero Micro Pedals 3 Pack comes in.

Save them the embarrassment of playing out of tune for the last half an hour of their set! Instead, give them the benefit of a handy guitar tuner and watch in awe as the Blizzard overdrive and Deep Freeze delay pedals help those guitar licks soar.

The patch cables, power supply, and daisy chain mean that this pack comes with all the essentials to plug in and play – no need for any additional cables or batteries!

SUBZERO RECHARGEABLE MICRO AMP

Perfect for the guitarist who is always on the go!

Barely bigger than a mug of coffee, the SubZero Rechargeable Micro Amp is great for taking anywhere! Thanks to its built-in 8-hour battery, it doesn’t even need power!

Jamming in the park with friends, setting off on holiday, going round to a friend’s house – it’s suitable for anything and saves the weight of a standard, powered guitar amplifier. It also comes with clean and distorted channels for maximum tone flexibility.

Don’t be deceived by the small size though, this amp packs a punch! Its 5W speaker ensures your guitarist has all the power they’ll need from a travel amplifier.

Most music-lovers also like to carry a Bluetooth speaker with them when they’re on the go – with this device there is no need for a separate speaker! Complete with an in-built aux input and Bluetooth functionality, they can take their music with them wherever they go.

The 3/4 LA Guitar & Mini Amp pack is the perfect way for young children to begin learning guitar, complete with everything they’ll need to start playing! Including a three-quarter size guitar, it’s well-suited to smaller hands.

A versatile guitar, it’s capable of delivering a range of tones – great for playing any genre of music, from classic rock to country.

SUBZERO SA-30 AMP

A great purchase for a first amplifier.

Simplicity is key when it comes to your first amplifier. There’s nothing worse than trying to understand loads of buttons and flashing lights when you don’t know what half of them do. The SubZero SA-30 Amp gives a no-nonsense route to a solid guitar tone, perfect for beginners.

Ask any guitarist what a beginner needs from a guitar amp, and they’ll give you the same answer: a good clean tone and a good distorted tone. Oh, and a bit of reverb goes a long way in masking those little mistakes! That’s exactly what this amp offers.

Complete with tone controls, the SA-30 will also allow your lucky gift recipient to shape their live sound and tailor it to their playing style.

Better still, the headphone jack means they can enjoy playing night or day without the risk of disturbing others! They can crank up the volume when everyone is out of the house and plug in their headphones and play to themselves at night.
