Mini Morleys
Two new optical pedals for 2010, the Mini Morley Wah and Mini Morley Volume. Both pedals are as fully featured as you would expect from Morley but measuring only 4.5 (W) x 6.75 (L) x 2.75 (H) inches, are perfect for pedals boards when space is at a premium. Read more
Seymour Duncan Yngwie Malmsteen YJM Fury Single-coil Pickups
February 10, 2010 by G-v Rover · Leave a Comment
No other guitarist unleashes the fury like Yngwie J. Malmsteen. His influence is undeniable, his technique unparalleled. So, when a legendary axe-slinging metal virtuoso like Yngwie says he wants to take his tone to the next level, we listen. After hundreds of hours of intense tone pursuit, we proudly unleash the STK-S10 YJM Fury.
The YJM series includes a dedicated bridge pickup as well as a separate neck/middle pickup, representing two highly individual customized voices that sound sweet and fluid with more articulation and responsiveness to dynamics. They’re recommended for any fast playing style including neo-classical, shred, hard rock, power metal, and heavy metal and can directly retrofit most single-coil equipped guitars. But players beware, installing the YJM Fury into your guitar, might unleash the Fury in you.

This mongrel duo is a mixture of sweetness and range. The Brownsville Choirboy is a well-behaved instrument that puts hollowbody jangle within most musicians’ budgets. Its bound body is charitably outfitted with three “toaster-top” pickups and a five-way selector, from which you can order up oodles of focused jangle, ranging from tight bit to silky jazz. The bolt-on maple neck has a pleasing profile and a plateless heel for upper-fret comfort, all of which is graciously aided by an adjustable bridge and truss rod. Read more
Fender Acoustasonic SFX II and SFX Satellite Amplfiers
August 19, 2009 by Chaz · Leave a Comment
Don’t believe the hype. After the barre chord, the most important thing I learned as a guitarist was to take any and all advertisements that promise “monster tone at affordable prices” and budget friendly, triple-digit-decibel orgasm” with a grain of salt. After all, what are manufactures suppose to say? “Our product sounds cheesy and tinny, but what do you expect for $500?” I think not. Read more
