Guitar World Reviews The Hand-Wired Marshall 1974X

29. March 2007

Just a quick note: I’m sure I’m not the only one who’s been drooling over Marshall’s new 100% hand-wired 1974X combo since it was first announced last year, and in fact I’ve been keeping an eye out for one to test drive in my area, but so far I haven’t had any luck (damned cow [...]

See & Hear The Line 6 Floor POD Plus In Action

27. March 2007

At this year’s Winter NAMM show in Anaheim, Line 6, arguably the world’s top manufacturer of digital modeling gear, updated its line of multi-effects/modeling pedals with the introduction of their new Floor POD Plus––billed as a single “road-ready” unit to cover all of your guitar’s signal processing needs. The Floor POD Plus apparently builds on [...]

See & Hear The Fender VG Stratocaster In Action

19. March 2007

11 Comments

I’ll be the first to admit that Fender’s announcement of their new digital-modeling guitar, the VG Stratocaster, left me more than a bit nonplussed––I mean, as much as I love Fender’s traditional instruments, the rather short history of digital guitars is littered with badly planned, badly executed, or just plain lackluster attempts to bring the [...]

This afternoon I came across a fairly in-depth review of Fender’s American Deluxe Stratocaster V-Neck, and since I don’t plan on reviewing the instrument as part of my Quest For The Perfect Strat series (neck preference is a very individual thing, but V-necks just don’t fit well in my hands,) I thought I’d drop you [...]

If you’ve been looking for an authentic, over the top tube distortion tone, but aren’t necessarily in the position to plunk down a small fortune on that menacing wall-o-Marshalls, you might want to check out Guitar Player’s recent review of three Vox CoolTron pedals––the Big Ben Overdrive, Brit Boost, and Bulldog Distortion. I’ve been eyeing [...]

Wow––check out this Custom Painted Esquire & matching Pro Junior amp… The one of a kind “Flying Tiger” Esquire was apparently unveiled at this year’s Winter NAMM Show, though this is the first I’ve heard of it. According to The Music Zoo’s website––where the instrument is selling for a paltry $17,500 (hey, it listed at [...]

A Tantalizing Look At The Electro Harmonix Hum Debugger

13. March 2007

6 Comments

As a long time fan of Electro-Harmonix (not to mention the fact that I live in a 100-year-old house with really funky wiring,) I was more than a little intrigued last year when the company announced their new hum eliminator––the aptly titled Hum Debugger. I’ve been keeping my eyes peeled ever since for a good [...]
