10 YEAR EXTENDED WARRANTY SCHEME

The product price includes 5 years' warranty and 30 day money back guarantee.

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.

  • Warranty is extended to 10 years from the date of delivery.
  • Our Money Back guarantee is extended from 30 days to 180 days (terms apply after 30 days)
  • Collection and delivery costs are included for the first 2 years in the event of an item becoming faulty

  • If an item can not be repaired, a similar alternative product or cash discount (as defined in this policy) will be offered
  • The policy can be cancelled within 30 days, and at any time after that for a pro-rata discount

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.

Get the classic Focusrite sound with All-analogue Air

Unlock the classic sound that skyrocketed Focusrite to the apex of studio recording processors with the all-analog AIR mode. Emulating the sound of the classic ISA 110 that was featured on the original Studio Console, the AIR mode offers a distinctive character to your sound by increasing the input impedance and stacking two high shelves simultaneously. The result is a bright, articulate and vintage-inspired sound with a subtle amount of classic console saturation with a 4dB boost in the upper-frequency range. All-analog, this circuit is controllable for each channel via the onboard switch, making it incredibly easy to hear how this mode affects your tone in your recordings. Make vocals shine, drums pop and guitars sit forward in the mix all while carving a clear and spacious sound in your instruments with AIR mode.

Two front-mounted instrument inputs

Crucial in the world of modern instrument recordings, the Clarett+ OctoPre lets you take a D.I signal via the onboard instrument inputs. These D.I signals can be used for editing purposes, future re-amping, with software amplifier simulations or simply as a fail-safe for if any problems occur with your miced guitar amplifier during recording. Preserving the natural tone of your guitar, these dual instrument inputs are built using JFET preamps. Stunning bandwidth and clarity maintain the purity of the entire frequency range and respond quickly and accurately to your transients, making it feel like you're plugging directly into your favourite amplifier. Ideal for mixing and mastering, using your D.I input with a range of software emulations in tandem with a recorded guitar amplifier can create unique tones that simply wouldn't be possible when restricted to the analog domain.
