The rehearsal rooms in Stoke-on-Trent boasts three large rehearsal studios, all with a backline which is completely free to use!

Forgot to bring your guitar lead? We've got you covered. Managed to drop your drum key and it somehow teleported to another planet? We've got you covered. Left your Custom Shop guitar in your other Ferrari? We've got you covered. We can happily provide you with a vast array of equipment to help you rehearse, no matter what!

At Riff Factory, our aim is to put music before money. We don't overcharge for our rehearsal space or equipment hire. We take pleasure in aiding bands/artists in every way possible and will do this however we can.

Situated in the north of the Midlands Riff Factory Recording Studio is conveniently in the heart of Stoke making it the perfect place for great value quality recording.

The heart of Riff Factory Recording Studio is its large, specially designed, live room which has been carefully engineered and acoustically treated to enable the creation of truly exquisite sounds. Along with kitchen and bathroom facilities the studio features a control room centred around an analogue desk and digital setup which means when you record at the Riff Factory anything is possible.

The studio is run by Tom Carter; an experienced sound engineer with a degree in music technology, and Ant Hulme; an engineer with a great ear for production. Together the Riff Factory team will help you turn your ideas into reality and create your perfect recording.

The large live room has a homely feel, while being spacious enough to give everyone room to move and properly perform. We can easily accommodate 6 performers in here at once.

You'll have the choice of using the house drum kit and any of the studio's guitar amps. Currently available in the studio are amps from Blackstar, Engl, Hughes & Kettner, Peavey, Marshall and more.

The control room is where Tom crafts the sounds. There's a settee in here so that you can sit in and explain your sound to him.

Inside the studio you'll find a well equipped kitchen and clean bathroom which lead into the storage and pedal room. This useful area is the perfect spot to store your gear when you arrive and is also a place where you can spend hours marvelling over Tom's massive collection of effects pedals, percussion, and other intriguing instruments
