A number of readers have been asking for more information on Marshall’s new Vintage Modern and JVM series of amplifiers, so I was pleasantly surprised this morning to find that Marshall has posted some fairly in-depth mpeg demos of these two eagerly-awaited new amp models on their website. The demo includes a nearly 20-minute hands-on look [...]

4 Comments

Intro The LTD EC-400AT Archtop is Japanese guitar maker ESP’s low-cost answer to the much more expensive Gibson Les Paul or even LP Studio.

OK, really, I’m the farthest thing from a Luddite folks––I’m a computer professional and blogger for gawd’s sake––but this move towards ‘digital everything’ is really starting to get on my analog-lovin’ nerves.

Acoustic tones from a Stratocaster. Alternate tunings at the turn of a knob. The growl of a humbucker or ‘twang’ of a Tele right at your fingertips…These are a few of the promises of Fender’s new VG Stratocaster––apparently the twisted love-child of a partnership between music behemoths Fender & Roland. According to their new VG Stratocaster [...]
