Line 6 POD Express Guitar - "High Quality Sounds & Options"
There are so many features behind the Pod Express that I will not cover how to access, save presets, etc., since the manual and instructional videos are available. However, I will begin with the soun…
DigiTech RP12 - "Digitech RP-12, still relevant. "
I play various Gibsons, Epiphones, Fenders, Squires, Kramers, Ovations, Applause, Charvel, home assembled custom guitars and Jacksons guitars . The RP-12 is still on my pedalboard as a controller, o…
DigiTech RP1 - "Digitech RP-1. "
I bought my first one in 1997 and the second one in 2013, both have been reliable . One draw back, the transformer is located too close to the display screen, so I put in some heat resistant washe…
Sonicake Matribox - "High-Quality Sounds on a Budget"
Of all the budget multi-effects modelers, the MATRIBOX is my favorite, and I would venture to say that some of the guitar tones (particularly hi-gain) sound impressive. They are ‘dry’ and sound decen…
Korg Ax3g - "Hidden gem"
I’ve had this one for awhile now. I’ve mainly used it for direct recording and general practice with a small Marshall amp. I probably wouldn’t recommend this one for live stuff unless you spen the t…
Morley Pro Series II Distortion Wah Volume - "Great multifunction pedal"
I was wanting, needing a volume pedal with a wah but, came across and, man I'm glad I did. If you use the drive in moderation and set the tone and level you also have a boost pedal also. These used t…
Valeton GP-100 - "Built Touch and Sounds Great... with a Ton of Options!"
Multi-effects and guitar processing units have come a long way. I recall an old rackmount Boss unit with early COSM technology that left a lot to be desired, making it difficult to create some clear-…
Line 6 M9 - "Decent multi effects for the money"
I bought this pedal primarily to use with a synthesizer; more specifically, because it has a wahwah pedal model that can be controlled with an expression pedal, and Stereo i/o. I don't know of any st…
Aeroband Pocketguitar - "Pocketguitar review"
I was invited to use the Pocketguitar when I was attending a gear exhibition. I tried out this little monster.It's small, tiny and cool, and easy to start playing and learning. The contents of the…
Korg Pme-40x - "Major mojo"
For a long time I thought this thing was just another failed guitar system from the 80's, and superficially it is, but now that I've had the chance to plug a variety of synths and drum machines into …
Zoom 1010 - "Still lovely after all these years"
Once bought as my first effects pedal and having used literally hundreds of different pedals and multi effects units from various manufacturers since, from time to time I keep coming back to this lit…
Eventide H9 Max - "Likely the best stompbox ever with more sounds than you ever could use"
OVERALL IMPRESSION: The H9 Max is not an inexpensive piece of gear at $699 USD, but the quality of technology and number of sounds is staggering for this stereo in and stereo out stomp-box (includin…
nUX Cerberus - "Fantastic Modulation/Delay/Reverb with Pure Analog Drive/Distortion"
SOUND: Being of 32-bit quality, the digital components are extremely clear in the mix. Coupled with the Analog Drive and Distortion, the Cerberus is a great sounding unit. The delay and reverb are…
Zoom 505 Guitar - "A bang for the buck"
At the time, Gibson e347, Peavey 100w transtube, 2 505 in serial connection. In my opinion you can't beat that effect. I used it professionally in NY for years.I play Jazz Brazil Funk stuff. I had 2…
Mooer Ocean Machine - "Incredible Sound Scapes is only the beginning"
SOUND: Although you can use this reverb + dual delay in a very subtle way (a bit of reverb or delay) you will be addicted to hours of play and experimentation as you turn up the mix and mess around …
