I've used SIR with Tech21 impulses on a sampled bass to put a little more grit on the sound. I love convolution processing, short wrote an article on FrugalGuitarist.com about it. However, one thing to remember is to start with the best tone for the best end results. I'd be interested to see...

I have a few clips up on FrugalGuitarist.com (click on the "Issue 2" tab) of the Pocket Pod which has the same engine as the POD 2.0. I thought it sounded good and was capable of a wide range of tones. What guitar are you using?

You can get them online here: http://www.musiclandcentral.com/indianaguitars.html, but not for $89...

The Ultratone is basically a PA pretending to be an amp. I gigged it (using a GNX3000) with a live drummer without issue outdoors. No "house" PA, just the amp. I'm waiting for a DVD copy in the next week or so and I'll have clips on YouTube. The only drawback (which isn't an issue for some)...

I haven't tried the specific product mentioned, however I reviewed one of their keyboard amps and am currently reviewing one of their powered PA speakers for FrugalGuitarist.com and the general construction and performance at high volumes is very good.

The new Fender hybrids are very nice but not quite loud enough to jam with a drummer. The Crate tube amps in that price range are good as are the Peaveys. Axl has a line of 20 and 30 watt tube amps but I haven't played them yet.

We reviewed a Rogue 5 string on FrugalGuitarist.com and it was surprisingly good.

That was one of the things that surprised me the most. A $100 guitar that stays in tune!!!!! I let a friend play one who wasn't aware of the company and asked him to guess the price. After about 10 minutes of playing he guess $400. When I told him how much it really costs, he logged on and...

My only experience with Hondo was a bass from nearly 20 years ago and it was the worst playing POS I've encountered to date. Even so, I've gigged with it. However, the quality as a whole of low end instruments has dramatically increased since then.

Sorry to hear that your not happy with yours. Rondo has an excellent return policy, no questions asked. If you're not happy, I'd send it back. I've not played their Tele, but a review of the new Nashville model may be in store. The "the thingamajig that holds the high e and b strings down on...

Great sounding amp. However, it doesn't really sound like a Fender despite it's cosmetics. You should get out and try one.

Love the look of those. Can't wait for the review.

Not to anyone directly! Received some accusations via the site e-mail as well as some on another board.

Thanks for the suggestion! John Dybala, the guy who's doing the the current lesson series, will be covering a few acoustics soon. We have a Jay Turser and Fender Resonator in the pipline as well. I'd love to expand the content, however currently the mag is funded 100% from my pocket. When/if...

A buddy of mine has a Martin DX and when we tested out guitars, none of the others in the same price range was as loud with a focused lowed end and crisp top end. I have a Simon and Patrick with a cedar top and cherry sides. In comparision, the low end EQ is focused more in the low mids and can...

Thanks! Each issue, I try to make it a little bit better...

Good morning Frugal Guitarists. The June issue is up and it's our biggest yet. In addition to the reviews and articles, we've added beginner/intermediate guitar lessons (advanced coming soon) and a bio section. In the next few weeks, we will also be launching a blog covering various musician...

Yes, the overall quality of SX guitars is shocking for the price. Glad to hear their basses are just as good.

Here's a few tips from when I performed regularly. 1. Get there early and talk to the people who work at the venue (bartenders, barristas, etc.) more often than not, the booking agaent asks them how the band was after the performance when considering future booking. 2. In line with number...
