Meet the Fuzz Club, Your New Versatile, Loud Fuzz Friend
A Fuzz War-inspired pedal that adds versatility and lots of volume to any pedalboard it touches. It’s not everyday that I find pedals that are too loud.

How Good is the New MXR Duke of Tone Overdrive Pedal?
It’s pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty good actually! Spending 500 or so words railing against overpriced overdrive pedals is nothing new for me. It definitely helps pay the bills that’s for sure. So whether it is comparing 16 Klon clones to show how they all sound the same, or discussing how Marshall is charging a bitContinue reading “How Good is the New MXR Duke of Tone Overdrive Pedal?”
Stop Buying Coated Guitar Strings
Toxic chemicals have been found in some guitar strings that have no business being used to marginally improve your playing experience. Many of you who read my articles know me as a pretty opinionated content creator. I’ve managed to get myself into disagreements with everyone from Gibson to Silvertone.
