There haven’t been a lot of updates here lately. Why is that? Because I picked up an Akai MPD32 and have been toying around with it since it has arrived.
Originally I’d been tossing up between the Akai MPD24 and the M-Audio Trigger Finger. In the end, I opted to go for the MPD32 […]
This post is for Tom, who left a comment on the Tom Morello’s Guitar Gear post.
Tom asked if it was possible for me to type out the details of his gear, because it was difficult to read from my scan. Short answer is no, I’m far too lazy to type it out, so instead I’ve […]
While my search for a USB midi drum pad/controller continues, I think I’ve narrowed down my options to one.
I’m strongly leaning toward the new Akai MPD32. Why? It’s modelled on the Akai MPC series, which I’ve always wanted to own. The pads are the genuine MPC style pads. It also has a grand total of […]
I’m currently considering picking up a midi controller for programming drums and beats to use with Reason. I’ve narrowed it down to two, the Akai MPD24 and the M-Audio Trigger Finger. Price wise (according to ZZSounds) the Akai is around $50USD more expensive than the M-Audio, however the Akai seems to have a couple more […]

Jim Root is the guitarist from both Slipknot and Stone Sour, both hard and heavy rocking bands. The Jim Root Signature model Tele features a mahogany body, maple neck and fingerboard, EMG pickups […]

For fans of the band Wilco, here’s an image of guitarist Jeff Tweedy’s pedal board. The angle is not that great, but never the less, you can probably make out most of the pedals onboard.
From what I can tell, there are a couple of Ernie Ball volume/expression pedals up the far end. There’s also a […]
Steven Wilson is the vocalist, guitarist and producer for the prog-alt-metal band Porcupine Tree as well as projects such as Blackfield, No-Man and Bass Communion. He’s also famous for working with the who’s who of prog-metal acts, such as Opeth.
In terms of guitars, Wilson predominantly plays Paul Reed Smith guitars, including PRS Custom 22’s, Singlecut […]
Here is an image of what is said to be Jack Whites (of the White Stripes) pedal board. I guess given their style you’d expect a fairly minimalist setup, so perhaps you might be surprised at the number of pedals on display here.
I’m not 100% sure of what all the pedals are. The first (far […]
If you have never heard of Buckethead before today, then you have been missing out. He’s probably one of those guys that you’d know if you saw him. He has made a name for himself as a shredder found of wearing a KFC bucket on his head and white plastic mask on his face. He’s […]
