Graph Tech String Savers
By Pete Fine, Accessories, posted on 09-08-2016

I Love my Les Paul. Love it! But who likes breaking a string? It doesn't happen often but when it does… So I switched my Tune O Matic saddles to the Graph Tech String Savers and now I never break stri Read More...

Gurus Amps 1959 Doubledecker
By Pete Fine, Accessories, posted on 03-08-2016

About 2 minutes into trying the Gurus Amps 1959 Doubledecker guitar overdrive preamp I totally forgot I was plugged into a pedal and felt like I had just discovered a killer amp. My clean combo never Read More...

Gurus Echosex2 Tube Driven Delay
By Pete Fine, Accessories, posted on 11-21-2015

With so many excellent delays on the market I wasn't prepared to be impressed, but I was- and that's putting it mildly. Right away you can tell that this delay is tube driven- it is warm, exactly like Read More...

BOSS Waza Craft Super Overdrive
By Pete Fine, Accessories, posted on 03-03-2015

In this world of modded and boutique pedals, it is too easy to overlook the companies that started the whole pedal craze. Well, BOSS has released a line of their own "modded" pedals and upon trying on Read More...

Fishman Fluence Strat Pickups
By Pete Fine, Accessories, posted on 09-17-2014

Everybody and their mother says you can't have a quiet (active or hum cancelling) Strat pickup that still sounds like a vintage Strat. I agreed until we installed a set of the Fishman Fluence Strat pi Read More...

Floyd Rose Titanium Tremolo Kit
By Pete Fine, Accessories, posted on 03-16-2013

After a fairly simple install on a Jackson (just replacing the existing Floyd and locking nut- pretty no-brainer stuff) ) I have a say that I am hearing more "prescence" and sustain compared to the st Read More...

Electroman Delay
By Pete Fine, Accessories, posted on 02-13-2013

SolidGoldFX are getting a buzz in the guitar community due to their great effects at great prices. I had a blast testing their Electroman delay. The warm, tape-like delay is very musical and satisfyin Read More...

Gurus 1959 Double Decker
By Pete Fine, Accessories, posted on 02-13-2013

The first thing I noticed was that the Gurus Amps 1959 Double Decker did not feel like I was plugged into a pedal. I truly felt like I was playing through a great vijntage Marshall amp, but with the g Read More...

Surf Rider Deluxe Reverb
By Pete Fine, Accessories, posted on 02-13-2013

If you are looking for a multi-effect digital reverb, the Surf Rider Deluxe is is not for you. However, if you want the classic tube reverb sound from the amps of the 60's and 70's, the Surf Rider roc Read More...

Bare Knuckle Guitar Cable
By Pete Fine, Accessories, posted on 01-31-2013

I have been a long-time fan of Bare Knuckle pickups- they're amazing. So I looked forward to plugging in their new line of cables. It turns out that the cables are made by Van Damme, an Englich manufa Read More...

T.C.electronic Flashback X4
By Pete Fine, Accessories, posted on 11-02-2012

I couldn't stop playing this thing. It sounds great. The analog type delays sound very analog and the more modern settings are awesome. I love being able to tweak the knobs and store the settings. It Read More...

MXR Hendrix Tribute Octavia
By Pete Fine, Accessories, posted on 11-02-2012

There are a lot of Octavia, octave-fuzz, type pedals on the market and a lot of them sound very good. I was pleasantly surprised that this relatively inexpensive Octavia, the MXR 70th Anniversary Hen Read More...

MXR Hendrix Tribute Fuzz Face
By Pete Fine, Accessories, posted on 11-02-2012

The MXR 70th Anniversary Hendrix Tribute Fuzz Face is a great pedal that could easily be priced higher. I plugged a Strat into a relatively clean amp so I could hear it's vintage fuzz tone with little Read More...

Klein Epic 1959 PAF Humbucker
By Pete Fine, Accessories, posted on 09-29-2012

I have heard some great humbuckers here at Rainbow, from real vintage PAF's to reissues by several excellent builders. The Klein PAF humbuckers truly authentic and yet they are in a price range that d Read More...

Klein Epic 1954 Strat Pickup Set
By Pete Fine, Accessories, posted on 09-29-2012

The Klein Epic 1954 Strat pickup set sounds like a real set of 1954 Strat pickups. Sure, every guitar is different but the old 50's Strats all had that amazing bell-like clarity and presence, sweet hi Read More...

Klein Epic 1957 Strat Pickup Set
By Pete Fine, Accessories, posted on 09-29-2012

The Klein Epic 1957 Strat pickup set sounded so authentic that I had to try it in a few different amps to be sure I wasn't just imagining things. The sweet high end, sparkly but still punchy, and the Read More...

Snark SN10S Pedal Tuner
By Pete Fine, Accessories, posted on 08-09-2012

We have sold 100's of Snark clip-on tuners at Rainbow. When they sent me a sample of their new SN10S pedal tuner I was thinking, "Who needs more pedal tuners? We have some good ones." Then I took it o Read More...

Axe Handler Guitar Stand
By Pete Fine, Accessories, posted on 07-27-2012

Admit it. We've all sat around the house, or in our home studio, or even at a gig, and leaned our precious axe against the amp, chair, or console. Don't do it anymore. Get an Axe Handler. This thing w Read More...

Bare Knuckle Painkiller Pickups
By Pete Fine, Accessories, posted on 07-06-2012

The Bare Knuckle Painkiller pickup is a great sounding humbucker. With an output high enough to overdrive my amp into great sustain, but without any loss of clarity, I am able to use these pickups for Read More...
