25. June 2007

If you’ve been drooling over a PRS guitar but don’t exactly have the pocket change to drop on one of their top-of-the-line instruments, you might want to take a look at the company’s less-expensive import models. Import models? Yep, the PRS SE Series was apparently created at the urging of Carlos Santana, in the hopes [...]

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.
