Fuzz is Dead, Long Live Fuzz.
I thought that maybe I had a problem so I asked the doctor how many fuzzes is too many and he said “here take two fuzzes and call me in the fuzzing.” So I realized that fuzz is fuzz and fuzz can’t fuzz too many fuzzes, fuzzkay? Seriously, they all sound totally different.
How many shades of blue do you need to paint the sea and sky?

Guitar Centers Experienced and Knowledgable Staff
So a few weeks ago I go to the Guitar Center website and look up the EH Big Muff π, the site says they have 4 in stock. I go to the store and the “guitar guy” looks it up on the computer and says “nope that’s wrong, we don’t have any in stock.” A week later I look on the website and it says they have four in stock. I go to the store again and a different...

Seymour Duncan Twin Tube Classic
The Seymour Duncan Twin Tube Classic is dirt simple to operate: Input, Output, Bass, Treble, Volume, Gain. Manual is good, brief yet adequate.
This device shouldn’t be demeaned by the term “pedal,” it is much more than that. I would consider it an extension of my amp and guitar. The bypass is uncolored and fast, the rhythm distortion can go anywhere from clean to the...
MXR EVH Phase 90
Not a whole lot here, speed knob and two switches. Let me run it down for you:
1. Plug in guitar
2. Step on footswitch
3. Turn speed knob until it sounds cool
4. Flick Script switch to see which mode you prefer

Fender JA90 Thinline Telecaster
I Like Odd Guitars
My Wife generously got this guitar for me for my birthday, here’s a little review.
The feature set on this Malaysian honey is a little er, twisted -just the way I like it. Gibson style controls, semi-hollow, mixed-woods, set-neck, P90’s. It is a mongrel of a guitar, heretical for genre fascists or Fender-fetishists. I looked hard at my guitar collection and saw...

DeArmond M75 Upgrades
I Like Odd Guitars
Several years back I got a Moon Blue DeArmond M75 guitar as payment for some studio time (James Woods). It was in pretty bad shape; it had a bad nut, crappy tuners, terrible action, terrible intonation, and a big gouge on the back. Despite all these flaws I could tell that the base guitar was actually pretty special. When I found a position that I could play in tune it had a...

I would travel anywhere in the world to see a new Floyd Tour. Even without the late and sorely missed Richard Wright.
