BSS AR-133 Active Direct Box
By Joel Thall, Live Sound, posted on 03-16-2009
The best thing I can say about the BSS-AR-133 Active Direct Box is that it doesn’t sound like anything.

Smokey Amps Rock!
By Pete Fine, Accessories, posted on 03-24-2009
Just watching someones face when you pull a cigarette pack out of your pocket and plug a guitar into it is worth the price of this little amp! However, these things sounds cool too. You won't believe

By Pete Fine, Accessories, posted on 03-24-2009

Pedaltrain pedalboards aren't fancy but they are neat, rock-solid, and a lifesaver if you use more than a couple of pedals. I was able to get all my wiring underneath the slats for a really tidy setup
