If you’ve read this blog with any regularity, you’d know that I’ve lamented trading away my original BOSS CE-2 Chorus for a Multi-function DigiTech pedal. Hey! I didn’t know better at the time. The CE-2 was cheap when I got it new back in the early 80’s, and so I figured, what would be the [...]

Now for something totally weird… but cool… The Guitar Resonator

No, I’m not talking about a resonator guitar. This is an effect. It essentially adds tons of sustain and feedback kind of like one of those Moog guitars, but in a pedal connected to a gooseneck stand that appears to have an optical scanning device attached to the end that “reads” your strings, then processes [...]

Gear for a Cause: The Wampler Underdog

Man, I love it when gear manufacturers build stuff for a cause! Wampler has just re-released their limited run Underdog Overdrive (only 100 were originally made) to help out a friend who has breast cancer, as she can’t pay her doctor bills and apparently can’t get any insurance. All the profits from this re-release are [...]

Got a little ambitious tonight and recorded some clips of the VOX Time Machine this evening. All clips were recorded with my trusty Aracom VRX22 amp.
The first is a short song featuring my CV Tele in the rhythm and my Gibson Nighthawk 2009 doing the lead. This was close-miked to a 1 X 12.

With the [...]

As many might know, one of the first places I test out new gear is at my weekly church gig. Church services are especially great for testing gear that you normally use clean or with just a little grit, and it proved to be a great venue for testing out the Time Machine.
All I can [...]

Godlyke Distribution, which represents several boutique pedal manufactures has just released the HAO OD-16 overdrive pedal. Oh yeah… yet another overdrive pedal. But who cares? As the dean of my college once told me, “There’s room in this world for people who are good,” and as far as guitar [...]

Awhile back, I wrote a fairly quick review of this pedal. That was back in October of 2007. I bought it because I was tired of using modelers and software chorus in my recordings, and also wanted to use a chorus live, which I hadn’t done much of since I had sold my Line 6 [...]

I’ve known about Handwired-Effects for a few weeks now, but didn’t really talk about it too much because their site didn’t have much on it, and they only had a single pedal. But now that they’ve got a few, I felt it was time to talk about them. Handwired-Effects has pretty much come out of [...]

You know… For the most part, I have few regrets about my life. Yeah, I’ve made my share of mistakes, and have learned from them, but there are some things that just seem to stick in my craw, especially when I reminisce about gear that I’ve had.
Back in the 80’s, I was a big Michael [...]
