However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.
The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:
Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.
For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.
This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

The JHS Pedals Bonsai 9-Way is a representation of the overdrive sound that has become synonymous with guitar in the music world and used by countless guitarists for decades. Out of all the variations and renditions of this iconic pedal sound over the years, the Tubescream is probably the most renowned, most re-produced and most sold in the history of guitar pedals. The JHS Bonsai takes 9 of these classic and rare variations of the Screamer sound and perfectly replicates every aspect of their sound and feel into one pedal.
The JHS Pedals Bonsai 9-Way Overdrive comes from a company in JHS that evolved from one man, bedroom operation - to a world recognised boutique effects pedal company, featuring simplistic designs with hand-wired components. Josh Scott, founder of JHS pedals, began by modifying pedals he had on his own personal board. Over years of touring and session work he had realized exactly what is was players wanted from their pedals, which meant building them from the ground up, using quality components to achieve pedal perfection.
The OD-1 -1977 is an overall bright and slightly high gain overdrive which doesn't use the tone control. When selecting this mode, the pedal inverts its signal, just like the original, and delivers a symmetrical clipping. The OD-1 is the ideal choice for boosting other drives and amps into singing saturation, giving your tone a magical feel.
The TS-808 - 1979 is perfect for giving your sound that classic low gain with a signature pronounced middle range.
The TS-9 offers an almost identical tone quality as the TS-808, but provides a slightly more pushed mid-range, ideal for creating extra grunge and thunder.
The MSL mode delivers an iconic metal tone, which may not quite inspire the modern metal style we think of, but it's perfect for those more classis metal vibes. Selecting this mode will provide your tone with an incredibly high gain sound with a powerful low-end and an overall more gooey feeling than some of the other modes.
The TS-10 mode embodies the very pedal made famous by John Mayer, offering a slightly upgraded version for a more bluesy and crisp tone with excellent low-end roll of and low gain.
The Exar OD-1 is a TS-style overdriven pedal made in Poland, offering a marginally different drive character with a little more gain than classic overdrives. It also offers a slightly more transparent feel, providing a nice mix of overdriven and clean soundscapes.
The TS-7 mode provides a hot tone, offering the highest gain sound the Bonsai offers. Designed with an incredible amount of low-end and dirt fill out, the TS-7 is the ideal choice for delivering killer tones and shredding licks.
The Keeley Mod Plus offers the classic mod Robert Keeley used to tighten up the original's tone, delivering an incredibly smooth midrange and high-end, with an increased bass response .
The JHS Strong Mod mode delivers JHS's own modification they've used since 2008, offering a cleaner and generally more powerful sound than the other modes. The Strong Mod provides the pedal with a pronounced high-end, with an incredible low-end drop off.
