Evan Bass 60 - "A must-have at an unbelievably low price, the best of the seventies for me!"
A highly versatile amp that really needs to be paired with an attenuator to fully enjoy its potential. Great clean tone, overdrive is a joy, and distortion is very, very solid. It also responds exc…
Dynacord Echocord Super76 - "An unforgettable first encounter, a reference in my studio today."
I mustn't forget to mention that this unit also offers a spring reverb, and the two effects can be combined with a simple potentiometer! This model has much more character and grit compared to the cl…
Amt Electronics Tube Hall - "Impeccable sound, outdated ergonomics"
Made in Russia in the early 2000s, it comes equipped with a 6N2P-EV tube, which I have no intention of replacing. I might consider getting an adapter to try out my European and American NOS vintage t…
Electro-Harmonix Tube Zipper - "A gem for the patient—or the already seasoned"
I received this pedal just a few days ago, and where to start? Equipped with two Electro-Harmonix 12AX7EH tubes, it's undoubtedly the wildest pedal I've ever owned. It quickly became my favorite. I t…

Behringer Edge - "For the experienced... but what a pure pleasure this Behringer Edge!"
The closest twin to the famous Moog DFAM, but MIDI compatible. I bought it on a whim, thinking it would pair well with my Behringer Crave. Joking aside, I’ve used the Crave four times, and I've lost …
Joyo R-20 King Of Kings - "Always on the pedalboard!"

Yamaha MT50 - "Very good recorder, but the current market price is insane..."

Novation DrumStation - "A one in a lifetime opportunity?"
I love it! Getting started: took me about an hour, and in my case, the manual was essential. Usability is average, hence the 4-star rating only. You can nitpick the individual sounds, but THE S…

Akai Professional ADM 65 - "Lofi with a purpose"
Released in 1981 according to my information. I’m lucky to have found a pair, but both have a DIN connector instead of the usual jack connector. It was the first item in my young collection back …

Sonicware Liven Lofi-12 - "There's always a good reason to pull out the Lofi-12!"

Guyatone Zip GA-100 - "The little amp that doesn't have much to learn from the big ones ;-)"
Found at a ridiculously low price (€15), but it's worth much more if you go by the sound quality. In summary: It must be about 20 good watts MIJ in the 70s, maybe early 80s at most? A standar…
Korg Pme-40x - "The sound of the eighties in a tank format, no more, no less!"
I use it with guitars and synthesizers. In summary: Practical modular system: you can choose and organize the effects however you want. Typical sounds from the era, with a blend of analog and …

Behringer Phara-O Mini - "Between nostalgia and efficiency: a successful delay, a slightly overhyped filter"
