Read MoreTouring definitely has its perks, and I’ve been so blessed and fortunate over the years to receive such wonderful gifts. Among some of the many things I’ve received over the years are some custom built pedals that YOU guys have made. One such pedal is this mystery “Green Monster” from Swansea, Wales. The pedal is as green and lush as it’s place of origin!Now, in 2017 The mystery has been solved, and the creator of this mysterious fuzz is Life is Unfair Audio.
Read MoreWe get dirt pedals sent to Pedals And Effects all the time, but when I get a really killer bass overdrive, I do flips and the SolidGoldFX Beta DLX has me suspended in the air! First, they took one of my favorite bass overdrives, their Beta, and gave it more smart options.

The engineering genius behind the Endangered Audio Research AD4096 spun off and started Moxtronix. The debut pedal from Moxtronix could not have made more of a statement, and that statement is one of the coolest fuzzes around that I'm proud to rep!

Read MoreAs I practice my ass off trying to get my skills back in place for Halo Orbit shows, I started to get nostalgic about my past shred days. Sometimes, at one of my clinics or at music schools, I will tell kids how I used to practice with Paul Gilbert at Musicians Institute. My routine would start with practice from 6am to 9am, then go to class, home to eat, then over to Paul's to rip on new Racer X riffs. I would practice 16 hours a day all in the name of speed and shred.
