Line 6 Spider Valve review

December 7, 2008

I’ve always been a fan of combo amps. Mostly cos I’m a hobbyist and rarely need to use a full stack, although having one would be nice. Coming from a Fender G-DEC background, I really like modelling amps as you have a wide array of tones and sounds that you can achieve. However, sometimes I do miss the organic all tube tone. Line 6 has accomplished with the Spider Valve where you have a modelling amp powered by the Spider III engine and fuse it with valve circuitry and you get natural organic tone and go crazy if you need to. The Spider Valve can be bought as a combo or amp head and cabinets.

D’addario strings

September 3, 2008

I love these “How do they make it” them videos. This is one on D’addario guitar strings. I’ve been using D’addario s for over ten years on my guitars and bass and they’ve been treating me well. It comes colour coded which saves us from figuring out my E, A or G-string, hehe. The bass slow wounds have been really tough cos I haven’t changed them in years.

Hey guys,

I’ve been away for a bit but I did manage to check out some cool guitar videos. This is a factory tour and a lesson on how guitar pickups are made which is just mind blowing. You can make an OK guitar sound awesome with some great pickups. This cheaper than buying new ones, of course and make your guitar, YOURS. Seymour Duncan makes some fine pickups, with some technology added. Check out the red pickups in the video. As always, you can check them out Musicians’Friend , Music123, ZZsounds or Woodwind and Brass . .
