    Headphone Upgrade suggestions (Personal Use)

    You want to do mixing, but you don't want 'flat' headphones, one with upper mids, or whatever. That alters things, but I had a recommendation from someone and I'll do the same, beyond the typical recommendations I see (same brands always recommended, since they are standard in many instances). I...

    FLESH ROT v2 (pedal demos/review)

    Brutal pedals are fun, and if so brutal that they necessitate a clean amp, then all the better! I contacted Shea over at This Heavy Earth, about his most brutal, and FLESH ROT v2 was the recommendation. I would compare this pedal to the Diezel Herbert Preamp pedal, although a different flavor...

    CABINETRON - #1 IR Creator/Loader (demo/review)

    I’m a hardware guy, although I do use digital/software tech, including my DAW. Cabinetron, however, was a no-brainer and I was very anxious to try this software, mostly to customize IRs, rather than use it as a loader. Yes, it does work in DAWs and as a stand-alone perfectly fine, but to create...

    Christmas Gifts 2023 (for the guitarist)

    I have one of those... they do make a difference. It doesn't take so long to keep new strings in tune.

    REACTOR - 5W Reactive Load (demo/review)

    Leave it to Hagerman Amplification to design a boutique Reactive Load so small it fits on a pedalboard (or next to/on top of whatever small amp you’re using), ingeniously designed to provide a reactive load for small tube amps. In essence, the REACTOR is meant to take the load of amps 5 watts or...

    Virtual Jeff Pro (virtual whammy/tremolo) - demo/review

    There is an awesome add-on for the Virtual Jeff... a volume pedal/boost in a whammy! If you don't want to watch the entire interview, and just see the new product, jump to 35:30

    Christmas Gifts 2023 (for the guitarist)

    Here's another item. I got one of these years ago, and it's still like new, since it's solid. I went through two fold-up metal footstools, and both bent, twisted, etc. My wood one, but Eric Hedrick, is excellent, and he engraves a name (if desired). His website and a few samples of several...

    Christmas Gifts 2023 (for the guitarist)

    I did a demo on this, but the Guitar Flatter should be added, since it's under $100 and would slip into a stocking nicely. Easy way to create a fretless guitar. The only thing over $100 in the video is the vertical pedal rack, but that vendor does have some for $100 (I wanted it wider, so it...

    Christmas Gifts 2023 (for the guitarist)

    I put together a short video of nifty and useful gifts for guitarists. My focus was on things not guitar-pedal-amp related, but 'things' that a guitarist would appreciate that don't cost a lot. I focused on ETSY for this collection, and did include a few non-musical items after each focused...

    Wylde Audio NOMAD guitar (demo/review)

    I saw a used Wylde Audio The 24.625” (625.5mm) scale NOMAD for sale, at a very good price, and had to nab it. I’ve been curious about Zakk’s guitars for some time, and I liked the NOMAD’s body shape. And so, here goes. Made in South Korea, with the RedRum color combination, the body is made of...

    KSR VESTA Preamp (demo/review)

    One-hundred percent made in the USA, KSR’s VESTA preamp brings forward incredible amp tones that only require a cab or IR to sound fantastic. I’ll address the sound more, and later on (also check out the included demo), but let’s look at what the VESTA offers first. VESTA has three-channels...

    Guitar Flatter (fretless in minutes - demo/review)

    So, what good is recycled plastic (actually, clear scratch-resistant polycarbonate)? Well, you can create a light and inexpensive way to transform a bass or 6-string guitar into a fretless instrument. The Guitar Flatter has been around for about a year, and I finally got around to getting one...

    Virtual Jeff Pro (virtual whammy/tremolo) - demo/review

    Do you have a favorite guitar and wished it had a tremolo bridge? Do you have a guitar with such a bridge, but you find you are always tuning it after some whammy escapades? How about an instrument that does not have such a device, including a bass or acoustic guitar, or perhaps another stringed...

    BearAss - Fuzz, Compressor, Sustainer (demo/review)

    BearAss works for rhythm, lead, and bass guitars, primarily (e.g., certainly you can use the Compressor for vocals or the Fuzz for instruments). There are three aspects to this pedal, including Fuzz, Compressor, and Sustainer; and with this being a two-channel pedal, there are a few options...

    DALGONA switcher/router/junction box (demo/review)

    Dalgona is a mind-blower for gigging musicians. It is not just a true-bypass router, but also a switcher, which seems simple enough on the surface. However, it is amazing how much can switch/re-route with one footswitch, and this is in part to the Auto Loop connections under the hood. 5...

    Tsar Face fuzz (demo/review)

    For those who dislike fuzz or may be looking for an alternative, the TSAR FACE is an option. This is a low-gain germanium PNP transistor-based fuzz with a unique circuit design. Using two Soviet-era transistors, Hagerman Amplification engineered this pedal with an output bias stabilization...
