Hagerman is a solid pedal-builder/engineer, and often producing unique voicings when compared to its rivals. Its METAL pedal is no exception, although not a ‘modern’ hi-gain type pedal in the modern sense – rather, METAL is described as a distortion/fuzz, and that aspect comes through loud and...

The company notified me... they added a rubber o-ring where the tube plugs in, making the structure a bit more rugged, and now you can dump a beer on pedal without worry. Tube still sticks out and can be damaged if clumsy, but it's only tube that breaks, not pedal.

I didn't know it was an audition... I was merely having fun with a new instrument.

I'm new to this instrument, but it does have nice note definition and sustain.

Soul Press II is a true bypass pedal and an upgrade from the original Soul Press, and with some significant changes. This pedal has Volume, Wah, an Expression out and a Volume/Wah combo. In the latter instance, the toe switch acts as a control between the Volume/Wah (shifting from one to the...

Yeah... intense alcohol abuse and chain smoking had nothing to do with it.

I have an older Zoom H1. I find it friggin' quiet... not much output. Better than the one I bought at Staples, at half the price, but someone annoying. I'm cranking my tunes to get a good recording, but on playback barely hear it.

If you’re looking for ‘boutique,’ then Night Owl Industries fits that bill. This company’s focus is on tone, while delivering something unique, and its current project is no exception – The Parabellum Drive (a collaboration with Dunwich Amps). It can hotrod a clean channel or make a dirty...

Not a review, although I recommend anyone wanting to get a jaw harp not to go cheap. Get something made in the Ukraine, Russia or India. Most music store jaw harps are toys that produce almost no sound.

Carl Martin produces some very solid pedals, in that they sound good, are easy to operate and deliver what’s promised. The PlexiRanger is no exception, as it combines Carl Martin’s classic Plexi in a box, together with a treble booster, both of which can be operated independently or together...

Heart Müller, a true bypass pedal, originally was developed to be a bass overdrive. However, this latest version was tweaked in order to be used by a six-string as well. The accompany demo video focuses on the bass in the first half, with a rhythm/lead/bass composition to showcase the results of...

What guitarist doesn’t like effects? Certainly, there are some purists, including jazz or blues musicians (plug in an amp and play), but most of us like things that add some dazzle to our tones. My favorite are overdrive pedals, because they can make a good amp sound even better, and each OD...

I used to use 'flat' headphones, which is typical with most 'mixing' headphones, but people don't listen to music 'flat.' They usually listen with a slight V shape (sometimes more if they like a lot of bass, etc.). In other words, a slight push of bass and treble with the midrange slightly...

I was in the market for a bass, since I’ve been doing far more composition lately and wanted to add some unique (and melodic) bass lines to the premade Band-in-a-Box backing track program I use. I’m not sure where I saw it, likely a video that popped up in my YouTube feed, but found the Busuyi...

Don't look up the definition of 'dog,' since that is what 'was' and is not 'is.' Brilliant deductive and inductive reasoning.

Didn't he write the tunes in order to be combined with words to be sung? Hence, both he and the lyricist are SONG WRITERS. No wonder terms in a dictionary are hard to grasp.

UNTIL DICTIONARIES CHANGE THE MEANING, NOTHING HAS BEEN ALTERED. A song is a song is a song. It's no different than referring to a minuet as an aria. Yes, there is a difference between a symphony and a concerto, although both use the same instruments. Dictionaries are NOT supportive, they DEFINE...

Certainly people can bastardize language and twist meanings to the point that dictionaries will change a definition out of necessity. How sad for language that people are unable to educate themselves on terms so that they are not misused. However, I'm still waiting for a dictionary NOW to...

No, we can't agree. I'm basing my opinion on actual dictionary definitions and the context of where the term 'song' came from. Definitions are descriptions of specific concepts in reality. A table is not a chair, a car is not a bicycle, etc. You WANTING or FEELING that the definition of song...
