Guitar Review! Home of guitar pedal, pedal board, amp, and guitar reviews.
As musicians we go online to watch and read reviews of new and used gear. You want as much information as you can get before spending your hard earned money. Musicians are never satisfied, or short of opinions. This website is a compilation of gear purchases combined with lessons learned. Maybe you can add some comments and throw your hat into the ring as well while you’re here.

Steinberger Synapse Review SS2F
You know for a long time, Steinberger was kind of the joke of the 80's - from the skinny-tie foo-foo pop bands that used them to the retro bands that have them on stage today. If you play a lot, the one thing that can really do you in over time is a really, really...
Luna Andromeda Bass
These Luna Andromeda double cutaway basses are awesome - especially the black version with the dragon design! These things are pretty lightweight and everyone I've talked to so far likes to gig them out. It's only 7 lbs, and these basses are pretty darn responsive for...
Tobias Growler Bass
The Tobias Growler bass is definitely a lot of funk for your money! You can't buy an American made guitar for this price - that's for sure! The active electronics are awesome and the growler will sing whether you're funking out with slap bass or playing classic rock...
Uni-Vibe Pedal Review
The Uni-Vibe guitar effect pedal was used on some of the most classic guitar recordings of all time by guitar players. It was made by the "Univox" company (hence the name Uni-vibe). They created the Uni-vibe pedal to emulate the sound of rotating speaker Leslie...
Sanyo Pedal Juice Review
I wanted to write a review for this "Sanyo Pedal Juice" unit I got at the end of December. Sanyo was nice enough to send me one to review, and it's pretty cool. It's a rechargeable lithion ion battery to power your guitar pedals. The unit I tested can power up to 2...

HSS Strat Review
This is my "HSS Strat Review" - or "What I Hate Standard Strats!" I never used to to think I was really either a "Gibson" or "Fender" kinda guy. The first guitar I became really partial to was my Ibanez Artcore semi-hollow body. Well, now that it's rewired with...
ART300 Ibanez Review
The Ibanez ART300 is a killer guitar at a VERY affordable price, excellent looks, and awesome playability. This is my ART300 guitar review. I picked up the Ibanez ART300 at my local GC because it had this weird scalloped textured top that looked like it had been hand...
PRS Santana – Used Guitar Bargain
If you're looking for a "used guitar bargain" you can't go wrong with the Paul Reed Smith or "PRS Santana". Every guitar you own can't cost more than $1,000. We all have to start somewhere, and you can't beat an affordable backup axe. About a year ago I needed another...
Ibanez Iceman – Classic Cool Guitar

PolyTune Guitar Pedal Review
The Polytune guitar pedal is getting rave reviews by all the musicians that I know (that have used it). It's made by TC Electronics, and I first saw it when my friend picked one up at the local Guitar Center. My lead singer was just saying the other day "I remember...
Funniest Drummer Joke Ever
I came across this the other day - it has to be the funniest drummer joke I've ever heard... In the summer of 1969, the New York Post Office received a letter with no address other than "The World's Greatest Drummer." With no return address, the sorter wasn't sure...

Albert Collins – the Iceman
Check out Albert Collins, "The Iceman" back in 2003 paying the blues! He was know as the "Master of the Telecaster"! He had what the considered a vicious right hand attack, because he played completely with his finger and not a pick at all! He was also known for...
