Line 6 Duoverb - "Duoverb - Hidden Gem"
I consider myself more of a 70s guitar player in the sense I play a lot of styles like Rush, Led Zeppelin, Steely Dan, etc. So my comments about this product may not be as pertinent to people playing heavier music. I know this is an amplifier mo...
Carl Martin Rock Bug - "True Analog Amp-Cab Simulation"
SOUND: The Rock Bug is an amp-speaker simulator that has an incredibly authentic and analog sound. It offers two basic sounds or responses – an Open Cabinet and a Closed Cabinet. The open cabinet has similar properties to a Vox AC30 (a tighter and...
Two Notes Audio Engineering Le Lead - "Le Lead 2-Channel Preamp"
SOUND: Le Lead is a 2-channel tube preamp that can produce a multitude of tones (although designed for lead, you can get some excellent crunch and rhythm from this unit). Le Lead offers a typical Channel (clean) and Channel B (high-gain), but also ...
Orange Micro Dark - "Powerful enough, and with a great sound."
A single channel hybrid mini amp head with a single preamp tube, a 20W solid state poweramp, a headphone out, mono effect loop and 8-ohm output. I needed a amp with a headphone out, at least one tube and an effect loop which was compatible with th...
Silvertone Smart IIIs - "Good Amp for Jazz but Better With Mods (See Details)"
I'm a jazz musician, and I use this amp to "busk" outdoors solo using a hollow body archtop with a floating humbucker. I don’t need a lot of volume but I savor a mellow, rich jazz tone with clarity of chords. (I play mainly standards, chord-melody s...

Behringer Ultrastack BG412V - "Excellent speaker for the money"
I bought this ultra heavy speaker box in 2007 for around AU $450 because I had heard good things about them. I've used it on a Vox valvestate as an extension speaker and then a Bugera 333 Infinium head. I also own two original Rola Celestion greenbac...
Hiwatt T20 Head - "Carve your own sound!!"
An excellent amp with a clean, very versatile sound. The settings (and especially the EQ) allow you to really carve your very own sound. However, it’s not a channel strip and the amp still has its own sonic identity. True to Hiwatt’s reputation, it...
Marshall Code 25 - "Many sounds in a small, lightweight box"
The title sums up why I couldn’t resist this new Marshall… in a 25-watt version. First of all, it doesn’t take much space up – and when you add up several other pieces of gear space definitely IS a factor… Then, I won’t compare it with the original ...
Taurus Stomp-Head 3.HG - "Amplifier in a stomp (pedal board) format offers plenty of features & flexibility"
