My Marshall DSL20HR is an awesome sounding amp… with problems. The earlier versions of these Dual Super Lead re-issue amps had widespread problems with the effects loop and emulated output, and I got unlucky with mine. This amp features an ultra gain channel and classic gain, and at 20 watts all tube, you can get a great sound at a lower volume.
AIO, or All In One Guitars, has become one of my favorite guitar brands in recent years. This is the source of Wolf guitars and now the AIO brand of guitars. Here is my shop tour video and interview with Jin, the owner. He talks about how the guitar business started and we see the guys at the shop working on their guitars up close, doing nut adjustments, fret leveling, crowning, fret ends, and more.
It’s the new SBS brand of guitars from GFS. Steve Brown Sound is the name here and that’s because this brand is the brain child of TRIXTER guitarist Steve Brown. Who else would be the prefect guy to bring an 80s shred guitar into the modern day. Featuring an alder body, roasted maple neck and fretboard, Floyd Rose bridge, super hot humbuckers with coil splitting, and looks that demand your attention and would be right at home in 1989… this is going to be the new, obvious choice for an affordable 80s shred guitar.
Whether it’s a Sustainiac, or Fernandes system, or something else, I love the sustainer systems for electric guitars. The give unique sounds and abilities that you can’t typically get any other way. BUT the issue has always been finding a guitar with one of these installed. Now there’s a company that will custom build one of these systems for any guitar! Veyz Sustainer. And it’s not even expensive! Let’s check this out.
Looking for an affordable guitar that turns you into an instant blues legend? The Firefly Resonator guitar model might be the perfect choice. At $210, it has the ultimate vintage style and sound. Before guitars could be electrically amplified, resonator guitars where the choice for loudness and projection. With acoustic electric components this brings a classic guitar design into the future. Let’s check it out!
I’ve checked out amps from NU-X in the past, but never tried one of their stand-alone guitar wireless systems. This one is super compact and solves the limited battery life issue with a super cool charging case! I got zero interference during my testing for nothing but crystal clear sound. Of course I’m using my Harley Benton Guitar MAX Fusion signature guitar for the test!
Major announcement!
