I'm a strummer/picker. Got that out of the way. This model is discontinued and no longer listed at the maker's website. From clues about other of their similar models and what I see myself I draw …
Fender GDC-100SCE - "Average"
I'm a strummer/picker. I got this guitar even though I'm not a fan of acoustic cutaways because the bottom end projection was excellent. Strings fade fast then the guitar is somewhat just dead with…
Artec SE-EQ8 8 Band Graphic EQ - "Good buy for beginners"
I bought it used in Hungary for about 40 bucks. I use it with a homemade JCM800, a 2x12 cabinet with Peavey Blue Marvel speakers, TD passive guitars. This is definiteley a beginner stage pedal, b…

Aria APH-1 Phaser - "Unfazed until now..."
I bought this in the mid 80s when BOSS ruled the show and everybody copied their design and aesthetic. Price on sticker on box reads £33 and I remember the limited choice of budget pedals in the stor…
Blue Microphones Spark Digital - "VERY EASY TO USE USB MICROPHONE with good sound quality"
The Blue Spark Digital is truly a plug and play interface. No fiddling with configurations, settings. Plug it in and choose it for the input device. The recording is a bit on the brittle, thin side. …

I`ve played on a Yamaha DGX-650 in a music store a while back. I pressed the buttons for for the different instrumental sounds on it. They are a nice portable digital piano to take along. It has lots…
Fenix by Young Chang TB4000D - "Nice board for beginners, but..."
I had a Fenix TB4000D once in early 2006, I guess. What can I say about it? The sounds and styles are overall good, it's very easy to use, and could be a nice choice for beginners. There are some gl…
Yamaha Silent Brass SB7X - "Yamaha Silent Brass review"
I bought the Trumpet Silent Brass system in 2003-4. This may not be the same model as the SB7X. The Silent Brass system provides a mute on the projecting qualities of the trumpet. As a practice tool,…
DigiTech iStomp - "Great Sounding Pedal That is Hampered by its Own Technology"
First of all, get it out of your head that this is a multi-effect device. It is not. It is a pedal that can morph into other pedals, but not on the fly. This pedal shows its diversity by being abl…
Boss AD-3 - "Some Brilliant Features Couple With Some Underwhelming Additions"
I bought the AD-3 for a specific reason, and that was that I did not trust my band’s sound guy. We were starting to do acoustic gigs, and the sound of my guitar out of the mixing board was less than…
Boss TR-2 Tremolo - "Worth it, but not at full price"
I’d like to start out by saying that this pedal is worth it if you buy it at a discount or second hand because it’s a Boss pedal and they will work just fine even if they’re from the 80s. This is gen…
