Line 6 Debuts TonePort UX8 – Eight Channel USB Audio Interface
Nice… for the last two years I’ve been using Line 6 TonePort products to record sound samples here at EGR, and I have to say I’ve been more than satisfied with the results––not to mention the sheer affordability. Now, hot on the heel of last week’s POD X3 announcement, Line 6 has unveiled yet another [...]

25. September 2007
Well, I’m happy to say that the prediction we made back in June was correct… Gibson today announced its Guitar Of The Week #36, and as expected it’s the rather industrial looking Explorer New Century in Satin Ebony. As mentioned in our previous post, the big news here is that the “New Century” line of [...]

24. September 2007
I’d been in the market for an envelope filter for more than a few months when Godlyke approached me about reviewing their new Guyatone Optical effects pedals… so needless to say I just couldn’t resist taking them for a test drive.

According to my top secret source, Randall Amplifiers and Metallica’s Kirk Hammett have been working on a Kirk Hammett Signatures Series of guitar amplifiers––including heads, combos and MTS pre-amp modules––to be announced officially tomorrow.

18. September 2007
Gibson today unveiled the newest member of its Limited Edition Guitar Of The Week line, and while the instrument isn’t overtly customized––by all appearances only the finish is truly “custom”––to my eyes it’s one of the better looking guitars to come out of the program so far this year. Dressed in a classy Satin Antique [...]

17. September 2007
Well, if it seems like I wasn’t around much last week you’re absolutely right… I was up to my eyeballs working on a seriously long review of the optical pedals that Guyatone recently sent me. Anyway, you can expect the review to go live sometime this week (with lots of sound samples,) possibly even tomorrow. [...]
