Sovtek MIG 100 - "Epic"
If you love to rock out these things are nothing short of epic. Russian built, point to point wiring and phenomenally loud. I had trouble for years finding a 4x12 that could handle this beastie. Peav…
Biyang Metal-End - "Fantastic pedal"
I just came to give my two cents about this pedal. Its sick, to say the least. This thing will scream any pickups. Excellent switching from modern, normal and vintage gives you three different distor…
MXR MC402 Boost/Overdrive - "'70/'80 distortion / line booster"
Gibson classic 2005/Fender Hot Rod 40 . I use this pedal from three years and i love it for the Fripp/McLaughlin sound that it give to my Les Paul and for the neutral work of the boost section that p…
Greedtone Overdrive II - "Pro Overdrive that Adds Note Definition and Harmonics"

Busuyi Guitar Mini-Pro Traveler - "A Budget Instrument That Offers a Lot"
I was in the market for a bass, since I’ve been doing far more composition lately and wanted to add some unique (and melodic) bass lines to the premade Band-in-a-Box backing track program I use. I’m …

Hagerman Amplification Valve - "Incredible Tone Enricher and Fattener"
The VALVE is a ‘keep on’ pedal, and Jim Hagerman classifies it as a boost (upward of 20dB), but it is a tone charmer that has overdrive properties. At $129 USD, the VALVE is one of the best bangs for…
Mesa Boogie Nomad 100 Combo - "Mesa Nomad 100 versatile 3 channel tube amp."
I only saw one pro recording example. I am glad I chose this amp. I had fx loop modded to serial. Very easy to do. I use a Two Notes Torpedo Captor 8 with the amp. I use an Empress ParaEQ to take the…
Fender Hot Rodded American Big Apple Stratocaster - "Best Strat I Have Ever Owned"
So before I start on my review of the Big Apple Strat, I would like to make a correction: These guitars are predecessor to the Double Fat Strat, not a hot rodded version. I have been able to use …
Eventide Blackhole Pedal - "Incredibly clear and diverse reverb"
Most important is the sound of any piece of music gear, and the Blackhole does not disappoint. Anyone familiar with Eventide’s reputation, but also the fact that the algorithm in this pedal is the sa…
Hughes & Kettner Attax Club Reverb - "Will keep it forever"
Basically I was fed up with lamp amps, having to play at high volume, the maintenance, the prices, and the overall "elitist aspect" of the thing. I play garage rock, I need TWANG, DIRT and VERB. So a…
Carl Martin DC factory - "Powerful, quiet, isolated and digital"
Carl Martin has released a new power supply, the DC factory, but there are a few differences from the company’s current line-up. Most importantly, this 2500mA supply does not use the typical toroidal…
