nUX Atlantic Delay & Reverb - "Incredible Clarity of Delay and Reverb"
SOUND: The Atlantic (either delay or reverb) produces one of the cleanest and clearest effects I’ve heard. That may not sit well for everyone, as some musicians may prefer either delay or reverb to be toned down (a lower tone so that it stays hidde…
Eastwood Guitars Backlund 400 DLX - "Great Retro/Modern look with clear bell-like humbuckers"
Features The Backlund 400 DLX has a mahogany body and neck with a polyurethane finish (it comes in blue, black or red, whereas the model I’m reviewing is red). It is the ‘deluxe’ model as it comes with a tremolo arm/bridge not found on the regular…
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 very distinguishable from the main tone – compleme…
Ibanez MBM2 - "Surprised by the high quality of the Indonesian build."
I bought this guitar based solely on its specs. I had never heard of these models until a few weeks ago and am not familiar with the artist who designed them. But he did a great job imo. For my needs this guitar proved to be almost perfect, from t…
KMA Audio Machines Horizont - "Advanced Phaser also does Tremolo, Touch-Wah, Vibrato"
SOUND: The HORIZONT’s is inspiring to use, with its crystal clear JFET phasing tones. The sounds generated vary greatly, as there are dozens of possible combinations. In essence, you can think of the HORIZONT as a combination tremolo, vibrato, wah…
Gibson Les Paul Florentine - "Outstanding Les Paul for old fashioned players"
I play since 1959. and have owned some 50+ guitars; I still own about 25, 12 Gibson Les Pauls. This is the best one of all my guitars: Custom Shop Les Paul Silver Sparkle Florentine ... it has THE sound while all the rest is just like in the very b…
Pearl OD-05 Over Drive - "Excellent versatile od pedal"
Bought this new back in the day, it was my first drive pedal and I’ve been using it up to this day. The od5 is part of Pearl’s short lived attempt into guitar pedals but it’s a very fine pedal nevertheless. Basically, Pearl’s take on the Tubescreame…
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 of them connected in serial, the sound coming out …
Night Owl Industries Edison Preamp - "Easy to Use with an Improvement in Sound"
SOUND: As a stand-alone preamp, the Edison is very clear, yet full-bodied. When hooking it up to an Axe-Fx II (with Marshall cab simulation), the first thing I noticed is how ‘amp-like’ the sound was… headroom and dynamics without that processed so…
Takamine F360 - "Takamine F360S Dreadnought: "Something to look for?""
This dreadnought already served me for quite a long time. Both in chordwork (strumming) as in soloing work. Before adding a lot of stars I have to say that I owe a genuine Martin D35 and besides that other quality guitars such as Gibson J200, Ov…
