I’ve had my eye’s on a Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Fuzz pedal for some time now. It is the quintessential fuzz pedal for rock from the 60’s to today. One of the great things about being such a famous piece of gear is so many people have opened it up and played with the guts to […]
This weekend was a pedal project weekend for me. I had a Electro Harmonix Little Big Muff Fuzz pedal and a Behringer VP-1 Phaser Pedal (which is a Small Stone clone). I love them both and looking around online I found a few mods for them. The Phaser pedal is a great copy of Electro […]

So this has to be one of the coolest things I’ve seen in a long time. It uses your iPad as a brain for all the different effects, amps and pedals. Great idea by a great company. When the price drops a bit on these, I will definitely be picking one up.
While I’m on a music kick, I figured I’d throw this old school funkiness down. It’s Larry Graham going over his slap techniques, but you can lift a ton of great riffs and lines just by watching some of his changes. Part 1
Here’s a youtube vid I found of Dragonforce’s guitarist Herman Li explaining how he makes all those wacked out noises using just his guitar, a Floyd Rose and some distortion. The guy really does have some chops for having such a computerized sound, they use a ton of overdubbing tho so at times there’s 8 […]
Here’s a link to a Electro-Harmonix’s “Effectology” page where they show you tons of ways to create all sorts of sounds samples using only a guitar and their effect pedals.
