So we have reviewed a few of the Artist range of guitars here previously due to their affordability and quality, so I was pretty interested when they released the new ST62, a signature stratocaster. I received this guitar last week from Artist, with super quick shipping as per normal from them and taking it out […]
I was lucky enough to get on to a representative, Kosuke Ban, from Tokai Guitars recently about their brand the guitars that they are currently making. Japan has always been well known for fantastic quality instruments and with them being so close, it is always good to take advantage of this. As an aside, remember
After what seems like all their other pedals getting an update, Walrus Audio have just released information on their updated Version 2 of the Luminary. From Walrus: With several tasteful updates, the brains of the Luminary V2 are still built on the Sharc DSP platform for crystal clear tracking and high resolution A/D and D/A

Unfortunately, power can be pretty expensive if you are looking at the totally isolated versions, but what if you are looking for a good low price, second-board power supply? Well, look no further than the Joyo Power Supply JP02 that
Another of the great releases that have been announced this week is the JHS Bonsai – a ‘all tubescreamers in a box’ pedal that is sure to turn some heads. This pedal is much along the lines of their previous Muffuletta which included the most widely used and loved Big Muffs and their variants. They
ElectroHarmonix are finishing the year the way they started it, with continued awesome releases. Earlier in the year it was the Green Russian reissue and now they have released the Op-Amp version of the Muff. This is the Muff of the Smashing Pumpkins sound and who better to tell you about it than Billy Corgan
