Ten Pedals Reviewed!

A big shout out to PREMIER Guitar for helping fuel Gear Acquisition Syndrome with this article. Click on the link below to read short but sweet reviews of the following pedals: Boss FRV-1 Fender Reverb, Guyatone Mcm5 Micro Chorus, Granville Procrastinator, Way Huge Angry Troll, Mad Professor Sweet Honey Overdrive, Whirlwind Gold Box, Granville Spiney Norman, Aguilar Octamizer, Guyatone Svm5 Slow Volume, Seppuku Octave Drone.

I came across this article while looking for reviews of the Guyatone Slow Volume pedal. My local music store had a used one for sale. After reading the review, I don't know if I want to add it to my arsenal for the asking price ($99).

Too much temptation here!

I just want to share the following article, courtesy of PREMIER Guitar.  The author focusses on four kinds of effect pedal, and gives just enough detail for me to grab my wallet and hit the local guitar shop.  For example, I never gave much thought to ring mod pedals, but after listening to a few samples, I wonder how I can live without one.

Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating a bit ... but only a bit.  Click the link below to read the article.

What The Fuzz?

This is an interesting pedal, though I wonder about the ad copy. "The fuzz for people who don't like fuzz?" Who DOESN'T like fuzz? I watched the video (below) and this certainly sounds like a versatile pedal. I was interested in the more extreme settings, because I already have enough overdrive/distortion type pedals. This pedal gets nice and crazy at the "far right".
