So, the Dan and Mick at That Pedal Show have been at it again, this time taking a couple of original Klon Centaur (Silver and Gold) and putting them side by side next to "The Klone Pedal" the "Archer", "Archer Ikon", the "Soul Food" and our very own Tumnus. They both...
So, those fine guys over at Gig Rig - Mick Taylor and of course Dan recently did a shoot out with the new MXR 5150 up against some old favourites in order to find which does the best Brown Sound... The JHS Angry Charlie, the new JHS Andy Timmons @ signature, the Xotic...
One of my favourite things about being a guitar player is that it transcends genres for so many people. During the 80's and 90's I was into heavy rock and it led me other music - Gary Moore led me to the blues, Steve Morse led me to Country and Randy Rhoads led me to...
