I realised recently that I hadn’t written about anything I actually own in a while. Not that I write a lot about anything, but the majority of articles are always “Oooh, this would be nice!” Actually, most of my articles will always be like that because there’s always going to be more that I like than I own. In a way, this article will become that kind of article as well. Why? Well I have a Fender Squire Telecaster SSH (white), but I’m considering modifying it slightly. Let me explain how and why. … Fender Squire Telecaster SSH White

BOSS RC-1 Loop Station
I currently have the BOSS RC-2 Loop Station. It’s an awesome pedal. But it looks like it’s been replaced by the all-new BOSS RC-1 Loop Station. One knob by the looks of things. I’m sure that’s not how the names are worked out, but this pedal looks seriously easy to use on account of that one little knob. You’ve gotta love that.

52 Amplifier Heads, week 36—Silverblade Hellhound 20
When an amplifier comes with a warning that says Warning: Highest gain of all time, I think to myself “I like to live dangerously.” I also remind myself at times like these that I’m looking for an amplifier head that will suit my guitar playing needs. Luckily, the bulk of my guitar playing is heavy metal riffage. I need the highest gain of all time. Silverblade Hellhound 20 warning message … Challenge accepted. … 52 Amplifier Heads, week 36—Silverblade Hellhound 20
EHX Nano Looper 360
Electro-Harmonix (or EHX) has announced the Nano Looper 360. It looks dead-easy to use with two simple knobs and an on-off foot-switch. I’m dead-easy. This therefore appeals to me. The recommended retail price of $135 USD also appeals to me. Well, as much as any American currency can appeal to an Australian. I know affordable when I see it. This is affordable. … EHX Nano Looper 360
PolyTune 2 Mini (also available in noir)
If you’ve ever taken a look around this website you would have noticed a lack of colour. It’s something I decided to do a few years ago because the majority of my guitars are black and/or white. It’s how I like things. So imagine my delight when I discovered the new PolyTune 2 Mini (and PolyTune 2 Noir). They’re black and white and tiny enough to fit into the corner of my packed pedalboard. Handy!
