Hamstead Soundworks
British Engineering meets Tone
Fusing the Obsession of Sound with British Electronic Design
We are very pleased to announce that Audio Distribution Group has added another exciting brand to our portfolio, with ADG now distributing Hamstead Soundworks in mainland Europe.
This well respected range of high-quality amplification and effects pedals is shipping from ADG shortly.
Established 2012 in Cambridgeshire in the UK, Hamstead Soundworks builds on the decades of experience of its founder Peter Hamstead. Peter brings a fresh approach to amps and pedals, having a background in avionics and radar, as well as many years in electronic design and development. His varied career boasts an impressive CV with projects ranging from audio switching systems to non-destructive testing equipment for the supersonic airliner, Concorde.
Building their products in the UK, Hamstead Soundworks take great pride in their products’ quality and manufacturing precision. Their unique approach to amps and pedals – to design and engineer not for the sake of it, but because they believe there is to be a better way to do things – is reflected in each of their incredible creations.
