Marshall 1959RR Signature

January 23rd 2008

The man who created the tone that defined a generation of guitarists finally has a signature series. It’s just a shame he is not hear to see it. The striking 1959RR has been built to the original specifications as requested by Rhoads himself. From my understanding, and I may be wrong, the main difference is [...]

Winter NAMM 2008 : Slash has a new guitar…

January 23rd 2008

It contains 100% new-old-stock (NOS) tubes. Types never seen in guitar amps. The G-1000 consists of two totally independent amplifiers, with very different preamp sections. One channel [...]

Source Audio Hot Hand Range

January 15th 2008

The idea of this never sold me really. It’s a wireless system that slips on your finger like a ring to control your floor effect unit. The original wah model came out a while ago and at the upcoming Winter NAMM the new range is being introduced. These days, I’m almost sold. Jump over to [...]
