Kemper Profiler Player Getting Ability to Create Profiles
Last week Kemper orchestrated one of the most confusing new product annoucements in music gear history. They officially unveiled an MK 2 Series of Kemper Profilers, but they failed to adequately explain what has changed exactly (see the video below; it explains nothing). Buried under multiple layers of marketing speak, it turns out hardly anything […]
Boss IR-2 – Guide to Using 3rd Party IRs and IR Software
I picked up a Boss IR-2 pedal awhile back to try out, and I remember not being unable to find any information about how IRs work on the device, or if you’re able to load 3rd-party IRs, so after figuring out how everything works I decided to put together a quick guide. First off, I […]
Tonex Pedal: Top Tip for Better Tone (Video)
I bought a Tonex Pedal a couple months back to try out, and there are some things I like about it, but the software and onboard UI are confusing as hell.

It previously sold for $34.99 so being able to get it for free is a nice perk. Riffstation is owned by Fender and it sounds like they’re […]

New Efektor Wah Pedal Plugin from Kuassa Sounds Really Nice
Kuassa has just released a new wah pedal plugin called the Efektor WF3607 Wah Filter. I’ve been a big fan of wah pedals ever since I heard Black Sabbath’s Electric Funeral. The Efektor Wah is the best-sounding wah plugin that I’ve come across. Previously I’d been using the Morley wah in Amplitube but I did […]
Free Amp Sim Plugin: The Anvil v3.0 from Ignite Amps
A couple months back the guys at Ignite Amps released another really good-sounding free amp sim plugin called the Anvil. It features three independent channels, one for clean, one for rhythm and one for lead. The sim supports stereo and mono routing and the controls can be automated. There are 3 oversampling settings (2x, 4x, […]
