User reviews on musical instruments and audio gear

I use Korg DS-10 either on its own or routed through effects pedals. The Nintendo DS comes with obvious limitations, and as far as I know, there’s no MIDI support. But honestly, that doesn’t stop thi…

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…

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…

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…

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…

The BST LM-200, manufactured in Japan in the 1970s, is a high-quality studio phaser. It features a bypass circuit that can be activated manually or via a footswitch located at the back of the unit. U…

This vintage tube amp, made in the UK, is still in excellent condition and has been well maintained by its previous owner (and me now, haha). I bought it as soon as I saw it, at a very reasonable pri…

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 …

This overdrive pedal is quite remarkable for its price. It offers great flexibility with a range of sounds from a slight crunch to a more pronounced overdrive, which is handy for various playing styl…

The Behringer Deepmind 6 was my first analog synthesizer, and I’m still thrilled with it. The built-in effects are fantastic, adding richness to each sound... and in stereo, please! The control layou…

Two years of use on my end. I have to say it was a great find—not exactly cheap, but prices were still reasonable back then. Easy to use: The manual is clear, straightforward, and no-frills. Dual…

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…

Technical Specifications Device type: Stereo cassette deck Speeds: 4.76 cm/sec (normal) and 9.5 cm/sec (high) Tape types: Compatible with four cassette types (ferric, chrome, ferro-chrome, metal…

I love it and can’t find a single flaw! It shines on bass, guitar, synths, and even drum machines. The specs are easy to find online, so I won’t go over them. Here are my 3 reasons to buy it... and …

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 …

Specifications Made in Germany in 1974. Tube amp with two 12AX7, two 6V6GT, and one EZ81. Original 12-inch speaker. Controls: volume, tone, tremolo intensity, tremolo speed. Pros Sound: War…

I won’t go over the specs, they're already listed on the page. After 4 months of use, this Lofi-12 still brings me the same joy! And I’m really considering checking out the other synths in the lineup…

The Pearl PH-03 is a compact and versatile phaser pedal, known for delivering a classic analog phasing sound with a modern twist. It's often appreciated for its affordability and quality, offering a …

The M-Vave Elemental Delay is MY pedal of the month after numerous vintage gear orders. Its compact size and solid build inspire confidence as soon as you hold it, perfect for a minimalist pedalboard…

What I like the most: The pickups are very, very warm, with just the right amount of aggression and musicality! The neck's finish is a treat, it's rare in this price range, and the same goes for …

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…

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 …

I wanted to give these compact synths a chance, and not knowing the original Jupiter at all, it was the perfect opportunity to explore this world without preconceived notions or particular expectatio…

I've always had a soft spot for portable instruments, and after selling my Volca Keys a few months ago, a void had settled in my otherwise well-filled setup. This Phara-O Mini immediately intrigued m…
