GP’s Video Roundup: 19 Guitar Effects Pedals Tested

5. July 2007

If you’re a reader of Guitar Player Magazine (Hunny, I swear, I only read it for the articles,) you may have caught their recent effects pedal “Pow-Wow” (July, 2007 issue.) It turned out to be a fine roundup of a whole slew of new effects, but the big news for me is that they’ve just [...]

27. June 2007

Line 6, makers of what is easily some of the most affordable digital modeling gear available to guitarists today, have released two new products that appear to be aimed squarely at those looking for portable solutions to their signal processing needs. The Pocket POD is an extension of Line 6’s popular POD line of digital modeling [...]

Guitar Player Puts Four Looping Pedals Through Their Paces

21. June 2007

There’s a great in-depth comparison and review of four different looping pedals over at Guitar Player right now, and reading through it made me realize just how far the whole technology of looping has come since I first messed around with it in a very primitive form nearly two decades ago. The pedals covered here include [...]

Marshall’s New Bass Amps, Lemmy & Jack Daniels, ESP Goes “Relic”

20. June 2007

Speed-linking for the four-string set… I tend to be fairly six-string-centric around here, but yesterday I came across so many interesting bass guitar links I thought I’d better lay ‘em down for you. Marshall this week announced a new line of bass amplifiers, titled the MB Series. The amps appear to run the full gamut, from the [...]

Thank gawd it’s Friday! I’ve been burnt-out and jet-lagged all week, and I could really use a chance to catch up on my sleep… anyway, I wanted to throw out some quick links this morning before I get too deep into writing my next full-on review. In case you missed it, Ig is running a series [...]

Electro-Harmonix Busts Out With Two New Pedals… Specs Would Be Nice

24. May 2007

0 Comments

Well, with no fanfare whatsoever Electro-Harmonix has added two new guitar effects pedals to their line-up––what appears to be a nano-sized reissue of the classic ’70s Soul Preacher Compressor/Sustainer, and something called the #1 Echo. Unfortunately, in usual Electro-Harmonix fashion, specs are pretty much nonexistent, so it’s not even apparent whether the new Soul Preacher is [...]

See The BOSS/Fender ‘65 Deluxe Reverb Pedal In Action

OK, we had a bit of fun at BOSS & Fender’s expense when they first announced their two new “classic tube-amps in a box” back in January, but to the duo’s credit, while it will certainly never take the place of a vintage Bassman amplifier, the ‘59 Bassman pedal turned out to be a decent [...]

Video Review Of Seymour Duncan’s Twin Tube Classic Overdrive

30. April 2007

3 Comments

While researching some of the more recent tube-driven distortion pedals to hit the market, I came across this video review of Seymour Duncan’s Twin Tube Classic––a dual-channel overdrive pedal boasting a pair of American made Phillips-Sylvania 6021 dual triode tubes, true bypass circuitry, and what’s apparently a seriously road-worthy steel chassis. Now, I’ve owned a number [...]
