Review Player Series Stratocaster Today we are looking at the new “Player Series strat from Fender. I had a HSS plus top come into the shop for a set up. Keep in mind this is a brand new guitar, with the price tag of $600 plus, so it really shouldn’t require a set up. The […]
Read MoreBass Bridge Upgrade a Necessity? I was recently very impressed with the demos of the current line of Fender Squire basses.

Read MoreHey everyone, I got in the new Pitch Fork Octave generator pedal yesterday. I have put together a few demo videos showing a very small amount of what this pedal can do.

Read MoreWhats the difference Hello internet. I have always wonder exactly what the tonally differences were between the CE and the Custom. As a man who scours the used market buying, trading and selling I often wondered why the bolt on CE PRS guitars often go for $1200-$800 while the Customs, which look identical except for […]
Read MorePart 2 Buying, selling and trading can be an inexpensive way to get the guitar and gear that you are looking for, as long as you realize from the start that it is not always the most direct way to do it. The simplest way to buy a guitar is to go to a retail […]
Read MoreI’m told there is nothing as wonderful as the thrill of getting a new guitar. Opening the case, breathing in the new guitar smell, collecting the included “case-candy”.

Here is a little performance inspired by “When you Walk into the room” from Bryan and Katie Torwalt. The drums are kind of cheesey in the G series but they do get the job done for simple drum loops. Also the functionality is a little quarky trying to do a live performance with them but […]
Read MoreI have been using this latest generation of amp modeling from Zoom, the new G series and MS series, since it was first released in the G3 configuration. I recently picked up a Boss GT-100 and was blown away by the quality of the effects. So I figured I would see how the amps sounded […]

Read MoreMS70CDR chorus delay & reverb Hello internet, if you have ever been on my site you can probably tell I like delay and reverb. Also not scared to use a product with the “Zoom” name attached to it. So naturally when I caught wind of the development of MS70CDR in 2012 I got very curious. […]
Read MoreSequence Filter Hello Internet. I recently was very inspired by the Sequence filter in the Zoom G3. I cant say enough good things about the Zoom G series. The G5 and G3x have the same core processor and effects as the G3 so all this applies to the entire G series as far as I […]
Read MoreThe Comparison I Have heard some things concerning the new Walrus Audio Voyager pedal. Things like it is a Klon circuit, or an “improved” Klon circuit. So I decided to put it next to my Klon clone I built. My clone is a shameless, part for part clone of the Klon, no shame here. Putting […]

Read MoreElectro-Harmonix Cathedral Stereo Reverb I got the Electro-Harmonix Cathedral Stereo Reverb pedal a few days ago. My first impressions were not all that great. I was comfortable with a very simple reverb pedal coming from the TC Electronics Hall of Fame, which has minimal amount of controls to dial in. That plus the size and […]
Read MoreZoom G3 on a pedal board I have to give it to Zoom, this G3 is an outstanding addition to a pedal board. Its light, will run on a daisy chain just like any old boss stomp box, and with a light expression pedal connected you can use it to control a parameter or effect […]
Read MoreMyth Busters? the DD-5 is the best digital delay ever….. Myth Buster? It seems in some circles the Boss DD-5 is thought of as the holy grail of digital delay tones.
