Rare Find: Not-So-Secret Stash Of Electro-Harmonix Video Demos
It’s all fine and well that there are literally thousands of stomp-boxes and rack-mount effects available for guitar players these days, but try to find a brick & mortar retailer who actually carries a decent array of them––you know, so you can actually take one for a test drive––and you’ll find yourself SOL. If you’re a [...]

7. February 2007
It looks like Budda Amplification has begun posting some high quality sound samples of their Superdrive Series II amplifiers, and they’re well worth a listen if you’re in the market for a seriously shreddin’ high-gain, all-tube boutique guitar amp. These are really nicely produced recordings, with the caveat that a number of them contain extra accompaniment, [...]

6. February 2007
Well, my rather messy offline life kind of caught up with me this week, so things have been a bit quiet around here. Never fear, I've got a great new series of guitar reviews beginning next week (Strats, Strats, Strats!,) but in the mean time I wanted to drop a few noteworthy links.

30. January 2007
If you’re a boutique amplifier junky like myself you’ll definitely want to check out Vintage Guitar Magazine’s recent review of Budda’s 10th Anniversary Twinmaster––a made-to-order 18-watt class A/B combo with just a single 12“ speaker and tons of tone.

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.

9. January 2007
If you’re a fan of Eastwood’s funky guitar remakes & reissues you’ll definitely want to check out last year’s February 2006 ToneQuest Report––they ran a great interview with Eastwood founder Mike Robinson (with tons of great info for the retro guitar freak,) not to mention an in-depth review of four of Eastwood’s guitars: the Stormbird, [...]

5. January 2007
A couple months back Guitar Player Magazine ran an in-depth review of Mesa Boogie’s new all-tube combo, the Lonestar Special, which left me absolutely drooling to get my hands on one of these retro-tan beauties. I’m happy to see they’ve now published it online as well (photos included, though they don’t look nearly as nice [...]

1. January 2007
Is it just me, or does it seem like every major amplifier manufacturer is pumping out their own Class A tube amp these days? While I absolutely welcome the current re-emergence of tone over technology, it’s getting hard to keep up with all of these new “old-school” guitar amp models. Of course, I fell headfirst in [...]
