The Downsizing Engineer

- Send Message
I've spent years building a studio setup I'm genuinely proud of. Now I'm evolving it — selling carefully chosen, well-maintained gear to fund the next chapter. Every item listed has been used professionally, described honestly and photographed thoroughly.
To be clear: I'm not a dealer or a shop. I don't buy and sell regularly — this is my personal equipment, owned and used by me, and I sell very infrequently. What that means for you is simple: no flipped gear, no bulk acquisitions, no vague histories. Just one engineer's considered collection, offered to the next person who will appreciate it as much as I have.
Shipping Policy
All items ship from the Canary Islands, Spain. The Canary Islands operate outside the standard EU VAT area, which means:
• No VAT is charged on items shipped from this location.
• Buyers within the EU or UK may be subject to import duties or customs fees on arrival — this is the responsibility of the buyer and varies by country and item value.
• I strongly recommend buyers check their local import regulations before purchasing.
All items are shipped via tracked and fully insured courier (DHL or FedEx). I take great care with packaging — all items are double-boxed where appropriate with professional packing materials.
I photograph items before sealing the box as part of my standard dispatch process.
Shipping costs are calculated at checkout or quoted on request. I do not profit from shipping — charges reflect actual courier costs from the Canary Islands.
I will not under-declare item values on customs documentation. Please do not ask me to do so.
Return Policy
New Items
Returnable within 14 days of delivery.
Used & Vintage Items
Returnable within 14 days of delivery.
General Terms
Items must be returned in original, as-shipped condition with all original packaging and no signs of use. Buyer assumes responsibility for all return shipping costs unless the item was not received as described.
Special Conditions
All items are sold as described. I do not accept preference-based returns — meaning if you change your mind, decide the item is not right for your setup, or have buyer's remorse, I am unable to accept a return.
A return will only be considered in the exceptional circumstance that an item is materially and demonstrably different from its description and photographs at the time of listing. In this case, the buyer must:
• Contact me via Reverb messages within 48 hours of confirmed delivery
• Provide clear photographic evidence of the specific issue
• Await my response before taking any further action
Items must be returned in the same condition as received, using equivalent packaging and with full insurance cover. Return shipping costs are the responsibility of the buyer unless the return is due to a verified error on my part.
I take the accuracy of my listings seriously and I am confident that buyers will receive exactly what is described. This policy exists to protect both parties.
