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 […]

Here’s a quick tip on how to connect a Focusrite USB audio interface to an iPad or iPhone. This allows you to easily connect microphones and instruments such as electric guitars and keyboards to your iOS device to record and create songs using various music-making apps.

Jazz III Picks Comparison – Which One’s the Best Pick?
A long time ago I started using Dunlop Jazz III guitar picks. It’s been so long that I don’t remember how or when it happened, but in my opinion there is no better pick than the Jazz III. They last so long that I hadn’t bought a new pack in years, and when I went […]
Quick Review: Harley Benton G212 Vintage Cabinet with Celestion V30s
A couple months ago I bought a cheap Harley Benton 2×12 cabinet to pair with a Peavey 6505 MH mini amp that I recently got. The cab turned out to sound pretty good for the price so I wanted to post a quick, half-assed review of it. Why half-assed, you ask? Well, I don’t feel […]
Peavey 6505 MH Video Review, Sound Examples and Verdict
Last month I posted part 1 of the Peavey 6505 MH review with a list of pros and cons and some general thoughts. I’ve finally stopped playing guitar (and video games) long enough to get a video review posted of the 6505 MH that includes a couple song examples and some demos of how the […]

Peavey 6505 MH + JJ 12AX7 Preamp Tubes = Better Tone
Earlier in the month I posted a preliminary review of the Peavey 6505 MH mini amp head, and for the most part I like it, especially at lower volume, but I didn’t like the tone of the distortion with the amp turned up above bedroom volume. It would get a harsh, brittle edge to it, […]
Peavey 6505 MH Mini Amp Review – Part 1
After posting an article with a list of mini amps last month, I ended up buying a Peavey 6505 MH, a 20 watt mini version of its high-watt counterpart. I’ve been using it for a couple of weeks now so I thought I’d write down a first impressions review. There are some things I really […]
