Steelbender.com Takes The New Carr Vincent For A Test Drive

24. October 2007

1 Comment

Wow… I’ve been known to write some fairly in-depth reviews in my time (heck, a few of them have taken me literally weeks to complete,) but Jason Barker over at Steelbender.com just puts me to shame. His review of Carr’s new Vincent 1x12” Combo––a heavily Class-A biased tube amp––is top notch, consisting of not only a [...]

19. October 2007

1 Comment

Well, the busy folks over at Paul Reed Smith (PRS) agreed to send me an SE One for review a few months back, but unfortunately the guitar has never materialized, and to be honest, with the chaos I’ve been through recently I probably won’t have time for another hands-on review for at least the next [...]

» Love Pedal MORPH - Just checked out Love Pedal’s new Germanium/Silicon Hybrid Fuzz stompbox, the Morph, and I like what I hear. The unit allows you to morph good old fashioned Ge fuzz with as much dirty Si fuzz as you see fit… a fairly novel idea. Nice sound samples, but I wish there [...]

18. October 2007

5 Comments

When Electro-Harmonix announced the release of their new Micro POG effects pedal––essentially a miniaturized version of their incredibly cool POG polyphonic octave generator––I had to wonder how they were going to replicate the original pedal’s functionality in such a small configuration. As a dyed-in-the-wool Electro Harmonix fan I came about this close to purchasing the POG [...]

5. October 2007

0 Comments

Just finished watching Guitar Player Magazine’s recent video review of the Caledonian––one of Campbell American’s newer models. I take a keen interest in pretty much everything Campbell American does these days, because when I did my hands-on review of their first model, the Precix, back in August of ‘06, I really fell head over heels for [...]

Noise-guitarist extraordinaire Lee Ranaldo of Sonic Youth, is apparently the happy recipient of this custom built Moonlander guitar from experimental luthier Yuri Landman. The instrument, one of just two in existence (Landman owns the other,) is a bi-headed stereo drone guitar armed with a whopping 18 strings––6 standard and 12 sympathetic. While the six standard strings [...]

A Closer Look At Guitar Of The Week #37 :: The ‘67 SG Special Reissue w/P-90’s

4. October 2007

6 Comments

Over the past thirty-seven weeks Gibson’s put out a few real lookers, a few clunkers, and a wide array of just so-so semi-customized Guitar Of The Week instruments, but yesterday’s release of the ‘67 SG Special Reissue with P-90 pickups is easily the one guitar from this program that I’d really like to own. Week 37 [...]
