Written by the company
Break the Machine is a UK based, family run, independent company selling guitar effects pedals, synths and accessories. Since our D.O.B in 2017, we have always had the same idea: supply the best, most unusual, hard to find and often ridiculously fabulous gear you always knew you needed. We pride ourselves in customer service, respect for our suppliers, always giving a fair price and above all we are humans who answer the phone and reply to emails. We are 100% convinced that by owning a musical instrument and plugging it into one of the guitar fx pedals we sell, or maybe using the synths and accessories we offer, the world beyond your front door will become a better place. Our promise to you: – We will never lie to you. – We will always be fair and reasonable. – We never ask our staff to wear a suit or a tie (or both). – We will always Break the Machine :-) You can find us at www.breakthemachine.co.uk

A great little company to support
A great little company to support. I ordered the wrong thing by mistake and they replied to my email instantly offering me a discount on the thing I meant to order and ready to take my return. I ended up deciding to keep the item I'd ordered and would happily do business again.
