As a musician, you really do want a headphone with a flat response. Especially if you are recording. Arguably, if you are a serious listener, as wel...

I agree that the turn-it-around-and-look technique is the most reliable. My tube amps are all lightweight. At 21 and 25 lbs., they are the same weig...

Not every pedal works with every amp. Some amps just don't play well with pedals, and Roland amps have this reputation. Many overdrive/distortion pe...

I think the Valve jr. is smoother and warmer at clean settings and crunchier at lower volumes and a bit more low fi, maybe. The Galaxie 10 is probabl...

Sweet. So glad it was as good an experience for you as it was for me. It's quite amazing how tubes, which really affect the sound in such a subtle w...

They're pretty easy to find for $19 more without having to wonder how they got blemed in the first place... but I remember that sometimes that bit of ...

Why don't you just put the 3rd string on after the 6th (and 2nd after the 5th, etc.) to avoid the confusion?Seems a simple solution to what really is ...

Kenya AA or Ethiopian Yirgacheffe are simply the best. But you have to find a good buyer and roaster, and George Howell is the best. He used to run ...

The other half of the argument that Gnease put forth is that if the headphones you want to use have a 1/4" plug (like mine), but the device has a 1/8"...

It's an effect. You really don't need effects to play, unless you are trying to cop a certain style. If you want to play surf you pretty much need to...
