Well, I’m once again on the quest for the ultimate wah-wah pedal (actually, come to think of it I’m always on the quest for the ultimate wah-wah pedal,) and after many lackluster years spent with Morleys (yawn,) and Crybabys (same ol’, same ol’) I’m thinking seriously about trying out Budda’s BudWah wah pedal. What I’m attracted [...]

Another Dream Amp From Marshall I’ve been considering a number of amps recently, and one that’s really caught my eye is Marshall’s reissue 1974X — a hand-wired recreation of their classic 18-watt tube amp, the 1974 — which, ironically enough, was produced during the mid to late ’60s.

Well, I’m in the market for a new amplifier, and in spite of my nearly fanatic love of tube amps I’m finding myself leaning heavily towards the Flextone III Plus, from Line 6 — yep, a digital modeling amp.
