One half Onederbolt distortion, one half turbo big muff, but all goodness. Few pedal companies have become more important to me in the last year than Oneder Effects. The Red Ryder is the RAT-style pedal I’ve been missing, the Major Award was seriously fun fuzz, and now a new pedal graces my board. The OnederwallContinue reading “Oneder Effects Onederwall Review: It’s Biblical, You Know x”

The Story Behind This RWM Double Cut Telecaster
Is it a Les Paul Junior? Is it a Telecaster? If you’ve watched any of the pedal demos on this website in 2023 you’ve definitely seen this guitar. While it’s not one I can or want to formally review, it is one I want to talk about. This guitar is made by my friend RonContinue reading “The Story Behind This RWM Double Cut Telecaster”
This Pickguard Promises 68 Strat Pickup Combinations, But Does It Live Up To The “Awesome” Name?
I installed a HSS wiring harness that combines phase and series/parallel switching to provide a ton of tonal options. When it comes to modifying or upgrading cheaper guitars, there are few people willing to cut more corners than me. So naturally a product that promises to bring 68 pickup combinations to my humble Squier AffinityContinue reading “This Pickguard Promises 68 Strat Pickup Combinations, But Does It Live Up To The “Awesome” Name?”
Fender Missed All The Small Things With Their Tom DeLonge Signature Stratocaster
All credit for that joke goes to Shevlin Guitars Fender just wrapped up what was probably their most exciting signature model re-release in a decade or so. The Tom DeLonge Signature Stratocaster is back, much to the world’s (and my) delight!

Squier Paranormal Jazzmaster XII Review
Will Squier’s latest quirky release live up to the hype and provide the coveted 12 string jangle I crave? Sometimes I feel like this website is built off Squier guitar reviews.

Lekato WS-100 Wireless System Review
It’s been literally YEARS since I tried an affordable wireless system, but will it stick this time? One of the first things I ever reviewed on this site was actually a wireless guitar system from Donner. That was an insanely long time ago, when this site was operated very differently. Fast forward to today, inContinue reading “Lekato WS-100 Wireless System Review”
Gear Ant’s Cicada Fuzz + Phaser Pedal Is Pure Madness
This new creation pairs spitty fuzz with swirling phaser to make quite the noisemaker. Every now and then a pedal comes along that’s sort of impractical, but feels entirely necessarily. That’s the best way to describe Gear Ant’s latest creation, the Cicada. And don’t let that description fool you, it’s not an insult. Instead, GearContinue reading “Gear Ant’s Cicada Fuzz + Phaser Pedal Is Pure Madness”
Tulpa FX Owlman Pedal Is A Thick, Terrifying Noisemaker
Fuzz and ring modulation combine to create a tool as haunting and powerful as the cryptic it is named after. It’s not everyday that you get your hands on a guitar pedal named after a mythical (and scary) half man, half owl. But yet here we are, with the Tulpa FX Owlman Overloader sitting onContinue reading “Tulpa FX Owlman Pedal Is A Thick, Terrifying Noisemaker”
