Play Like A Girl! Reviews The Luna Andromeda Floyd Grape

20. August 2007

When I published my Top 10 Guitars For Girls list back in 2006, Luna Guitars‘ Andromeda Floyd Grape came in with an honorable mention at #9, not due to any kind of lack of quality on Luna’s part (actually, the specs looked great,) but because the company was simply too young, and for the life [...]

Well, this week marks the grand release of the 25th Anniversary Edition of George Thorogood and the Destroyers‘ seminal album Bad to the Bone––now digitally remastered from the original master tapes, and including a bunch of great extras, like six new recordings and a rare B-side.

Just a quick note for the vintage effects freaks out there––over on YouTube Avi Bortnick & Michael Leonhart have posted a short clip of the new Electro-Harmonix Germanium OD in action, and it sounds pretty much like you’d expect… a little bit sweet, a little bit raunchy, and a whole lot of old-school overdrive. Would [...]

Word on the street has it that ProTone Pedals––makers of some of the world’s most wonderfully raunchy guitar effects––will be unveiling at least three new pedals at the upcoming Winter NAMM 2008 show in Anaheim. But while the Brown Sugar Vibrato and Peligro Fuzz both sound like fun pedals for analog-effects fanatics, to my mind [...]

T-Rex Unveils Their New Viper Vibe Pedal… Sort Of

16. August 2007

0 Comments

Back in May of this year (2007,) and apparently without an ounce of fanfare, T-Rex released their seriously stylin’ new Viper vibrato pedal onto the world. I don’t know how it went unnoticed––wrapped in black & white snake print it’s one of the more striking stomp-boxes I’ve seen in quite some time––but when I stumbled [...]

The King Is Dead, Long Live The King – Hard to believe it’s been so long, but today marks the 30-year Anniversary of the rather unseemly early death of Elvis Presley. To commemorate his momentous passing, Gibson’s got a pretty good video interview with the true guitar genius behind Presley’s pretty face––six-string legend Scotty Moore. [...]

If you so much as blinked you could have missed it, but back in 2005 VVT Amplifiers began working with legendary pickup maker Lindy Fralin to develop a tube amp to satisfy Fralin’s own needs––namely fat tube tone, massive clean headroom, and on-board spring reverb––all packed into a truly portable chassis. The result of this [...]
