Hands-on review: Pritchard Black Dagger guitar amp
2012-01-25
If you were to ask an experienced guitarist whether s/he prefers tube amps or solid state amps, I suspect 99% of the time you will hear not only a preference for tube amps (and bickering over 6V6 vs. EL84 tubes), but whether it be Fender, Marshall, Vox or some other name brand. You may also get a snicker of “How dare you compare the warmth and liveliness of a tube amp to solid state circuitry.” Early solid-states did not help matters, and today most of such amps are manufactured to help establish a price niche, rather than cater to elite musicians.Hands-on review: KAM Instruments Fidelio 6.5 HD Studio Monitors
2012-01-09
No great record can be accomplished without the use of a great monitoring system. That is a fact. That is the reality. Underestimate the purpose of the monitoring system in the studio environment, and one is certainly laying ground for frustration and possible disaster. A great monitoring system provides the music producer with a clear view of how he can explore musical ideas without experiencing what can become an unexpected surprise later on.

Finally an affordable relic'd guitar with plenty of personality both visually and tonally. I will warn you, once you pick it up it will be tough to put down, fits just like your favorite worn sweatshirt!
Fender Villager 12 String

A superb choice for the gigging 12-stringer or well if you've just ever wanted to flirt with a 12-string. The onboard tuner, cutaway and Fishman pickup are great additions to a sweet sounding guitar.

A fun little rocker to keep around the house. Sure it isn't perfect, but if your big rig is packed away it is nice to have this to practice on.
