Band Industries Roadie 3 - "An Accurate Tuner now with a Metronome and Winder/Unwinder"
OVERVIEW: Anyone who likes tech gadgets will enjoy Roadie 3. Although any other tuner will do the job, the mechanics of Roadie 3 is pretty cool (like the Chase Bliss Preamp MKII), but there’s a lot more under the hood. Roadie 3 can tune anything fro…
Tannoy Reveal 601A - "Perfect for beginner through to advanced users"
Note: Images attached are my old "semi-treated" studio (B) and new "semi-treated" studio (A) room measurement scans with my Tannoy Reveal 601a studio monitors. I've owned my Tannoy Reveal 601a studio monitors for about 7 years now and have been …
PreSonus Studio 24c - "Easy to use, install and with excellent sound/dependability & $1000 worth of software"
Well, I was using the Stealth Pedal (IK Multimedia) as an interface, and then it no longer was supported. Then I turned to the Line 6 Tone Port UX8, and although those drivers worked (in Windows 10), I never could get it to record to simultaneous tra…
Gibson Les Paul Custom Studio - "A bang for the buck"
Gibson Les Paul Custom Studio 2017 model in denim blue. I bought this guitar with the whole world being in a pandemia, so it is more difficult to try it before buying but there are enough stuff on youtube to have the idea of what I would have. So I …
Kali Audio IN-8 - "The Best Monitor Speakers for the Money... and then Some!"
Not long ago I was in the market for new monitor speakers. At the time I was using KRK Rokit 8s (RPG 2 series), and although I had nothing to compare them to (the only monitor speakers I’ve used), I knew they were slightly muddy or dark, and after a …
M-Audio KeyStudio 49 - "Not fancy, but it works, and works well."
I've owned this for a number of years, and use it primarily for testing these days as I have other controllers and keyboards for regular use. It's a fully USB class-compliant device, so it works out-of-the-box with Windows, MacOS, and iOS devices. Mo…
nUX Duotime Dual-Delay Engine - "Amazingly clear and vibrant delay with dual engines"
NUX has been stepping up its game lately, and the DuoTime delay demonstrates that point succinctly. Just about every guitarist likes a delay, but when you combine two engines and in stereo, you have a winner (particularly for $149 USD). Obviously fee…

Here is a simple-to-use VST plug-in that enables you to go from clean, to crunch, to rock and to hi-gain/metal. A three channel highly-tweakable amp with two perfectly matched cabs that can be blended. With several presets, Martin Linda (pro musician…
Graph Tech TUSQ Harmonically Rich Picks - "Yes, they do add harmonic richness to one's tone!"
My review is brief. These picks are fantastic, having used countless picks for both tone and feel between the fingers, etc. I'm using top brands, including signature picks (e.g., Petrucci), and TUSQ picks beat them all! One has to hear tones from a p…
