Out of absolutely nowhere, Fender released their new Gold Foil series, featuring the Gold Foil Jazzmaster. This Jazzmaster comes with three “gold foil” mini humbuckers, a Bigsby, a 12″ ebony fretboard and more. But how does it sound? And how’s the build quality?

Bread Oath is a low-to-mid gain op-amp based overdrive that includes both silicon and germanium clipping diodes and an optional preamp boost that occurs before the clipping stage.

The man behind Mattoverse is an evil genius, and the FloraVolt proves it. This produce-powered pedal is literally powered by produce—no power supplies here. The result? Voltage-starved fuzzy tones that are shaped by bananas, apples, potatoes and more.

The Seymour Duncan Psychadelic Strat set adds vintage beefiness to this gorgeous guitar.

Are guitars made for travel hokey or awesome? When Sweetwater asked me if I wanted to demo a Traveler Guitar I was immediately on board.

If you’ve ever played the Eventide H9, you’ve probably fallen in love with their Black Hole algorithm. Their Dot 9 series takes their most beloved algos and turns them into stand-alone stereo pedals that pack a lot for their small, pedalboard-power-friendly footprint.

A lot of people have asked me over the years, “How do I play guitar with Bluetooth headphones?” Well, the answer is…you don’t. Latency makes playing with Bluetooth miserable, but BOSS Waza Air solves that problem beautifully.

These pedals from Pigtronix Pedals have a small footprint but big sound. Check out the Octava, Moon Pool, Philosopher’s Tone, Gamma Drive, and Constellator.

The BOSS SY-1 was a hit the moment it was released, but is it worth it to upgrade to the SY-200? Despite not loving the way the presets work, yeah. The SY-1 is no slouch, it might be worth it to upgrade for having presets and new sounds.
