Presonus is an american company that manufactures mostly studio products in the semi-professional range, and are known for their Firestudio series of soundcards as well as good prizes vs. features on their products. StudioLive is a unique product since it has both a digital mixer and a 16-channel soundcard, making it extremely versatile in both handling and feature-wise. It has not really any competitors on the market, since You have to buy a separate mixer, audio-interface + soundcard for the digital mixers available. But a good guess is that the other manufacturers will follow this trend, since it really is built for musicians on the move, and enables You to record Your live-concerts as well as doing pre-productions in Your own home with the same equipment.

John Suhr is a master luthier who has been in the business for 35 years, and his early success includes the '''Pensa-Suhr''' guitars used by '''Eric Clapton''', '''Peter Frampton''' and '''Mark Knopfler''' amongst others. Nowadays he runs his own factory with craftsmen from Fender's customshop and they make about 150 instruments/month. The guitars come in all flavours, but they are all in the upper price segment since they are handcrafted. The model tested here is a "classic" strat type, but with a humbucker in bridge position. Nothing fancy here, except for the craftmanship and the components that are all top-notch. [https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/wiki/index.php/Suhr_Classic_Electric_Guitar (More....)]<br>

A versatile amp that can play pretty much everything. It has a nice sounding clean channel, on top of different kinds of amp emulations (JC Clean, Acoustic Simulator, Black Panel, DLX Combo, Brit Combo, Tweed, Classic Stack, Metal, R-Fier, Dyna Amp) and on board delay and reverb effects. As usual with these kind of amps the effects are not as good as sepparate stomps would be, but do their job. It also has a nice EQ (Bass, Middle, Treble and Presence) and a Chromatic Tuner.

This amp was made recently. Hiwatt was making these amps back in the 70ties, but the production halted and the company closed. I'm not sure exactly what happened (if someone wants Hiwatt history, there are some resources on the web), but today there is again UK based Hiwatt company that makes Hiwatt amps just like they used to make them in the old days, but with modern components. I'm not sure about the transformer quality, but I read that Partridge made the ones that go on these too, based on old specs. Not sure if they managed to do the job properly, because I don't have any old DR103 head to do some testing. I've read almost every thing there is to be found on them on the web, and no one complained about the new components tho..[https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/wiki/index.php/Hiwatt_Custom_100_review (More....)]<br>

I was drawn in by its flashy good looks and brand name and incredible price! $200 U.S. I first saw it in Guitar Center here in Atlanta and thought it was a pricing mistake, but no! It was really that cheap! I bought it without even touching it. I got it home and plugged it in and that's where things started to go wrong. I plugged it in to my rig expecting hot, searing, Jackson Monster Tone! Sadly, I got limp, weak, buzzy, outright lame tone. The pickups in this thing are just crap.

[[Image:Bbe sonic 300x326.jpg|thumb|100px|right]]

-
The BBE Sonic Stomp brings all the audio magic of its rack-mounted big brother - the 482i Sonic Maximizer - to the foot of the guitarist using pedals.<br>
+
<br>
<br>
-
The Sonic is not an effect or tone manipulator. When a person hears an instrument live (with no speakers involved) the sound is organic and provides the particular timbre of that instrument. However, a sound played through speakers involves a phase delay between higher and lower frequencies, where the lower frequencies reach the listener earlier than the higher frequencies resulting in a 'muddier' sound than the instrument actually produces. This process also introduces amplitude distortion resulting in affected harmonics. [https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/wiki/index.php/Bbe_Sonic_Stomp_Review (More....)]<br>

First I bought Fulltone FullDrive 2 MOSFET, which is a nice pedal, but for the price, it's overrated, too strong mids, very low distortion and boost isn't working nicely. Then I swapped with some guy for this one, and I was glad I did, it's a keeper, and let's find out why..[https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/wiki/index.php/Fulltone_OCD_Overdrive_pedal_review (More....)]<br>

-
[[Image:EH Elec-Mis.JPG|thumb|100px|Electric Mistress!]]
+
-
As all people who are into stompboxes are aware, EHX is the brand that was very popular during 70ties with Fuzz, Flange and Delay models that represent point of reference for today's devices. The saying "they don't make them like they used to" is true in this case as with most vintage gear, and those were the glorious days of analog gear.<br>
+
-
What seems a bit ironic is the fact that these models were considered very "passe" in the 80ties with the abundance of digital FX devices, but now in our super-modern times, analog is something that is highly appreciated once more, so all companies are making big efforts to capture a part of that magic that once existed.[https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/wiki/index.php/Electro_Harmonix_Stereo_Electric_Mistress_Review (More....)]<br>

The first thing I noticed about this instrument when I initially purchased it was it's weight, weighing in at a fairly hefty 3.4kg (7.5lb) I will never be able to call this particular guitar a 'lightweight'!!!!<br>

-
(Especially when compared to my Warmoth 'Sound chambered' Bodied Strat!!)

Having said that, the weight is evenly distributed and is comfortable whether seated or standing whilst playing.[https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/wiki/index.php/Ibanez_rg350dx_review (More....)]<br>

Nice mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard. Back of the neck has satin finish, which is a big plus grip wise. Decent gold covered Grover tuners. Alnico Classic Humbuckers + NanoMag, which really give it good tone versatility, you can get almost Fender-like single-coil tones out of this one when humbuckers are used in combination with the NanoMag.

The ME-70 is the latest multi-effects stomp box for guitar from Boss. It shares the layout and appearance of it's predecessor, the ME-50, and it would be logical to assume this is an "ME-50 plus 20," but that's not what it is. This is a similar but very different unit. I'm guessing Boss won't discontinue the ME-50, but rather lower it's price. [[https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/wiki/index.php/Boss_ME-70 (More....)]]<br>

I needed a device that will enable me to amplify signal from microphones & instruments, so I can feed it into 1212m audio system. 1212m has no preamps on its own, and it has 2 TRS 1/4 jack inputs. This device is a 2 channel preamp, so I can use both channels in separately, and feed each of the channels to the card's inputs.

Now when inspecting the guitar a bit closer at home I noticed that it was made in Indonesia. So it seems to me that Schecter did also move away from South Korea to Indonesia like ESP LTD did. Probably because of the new minimal wages in South Korea. Not really good behavior and at least in the LTD's case the quality seems to have suffered. So I went on to look for flaws.[https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/wiki/index.php/Schecter_C-1_Hellraiser (more....)]<br>

I bought this pedal as I was in need of longer lasting sustain (how long the notes ring after you pick them) for slow solo work. I found that I could not get enough sustain out of my lovely [[Vox]] AC15 and [[Boss]] Distortion pedals even though I did have a beautiful tone. This I believe in part due to the fact I cannot turn the amp up loud enough in my room which equals angry parents/neighbours.[https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/wiki/index.php/Behringer_Compressor_Sustainer_Review (more.....)]
