Boost pedals for guitars

Boosting the strength of an analogue audio signal is the only aspect these pedals have in common. They vary in types of colour (or tone) they impart on the signal, their price, form and power specifications. Many guitarists use boost pedals to raise the volume of their amplifiers, to pronounce certain sections in songs, bring them forward in a mix and pushing their favourite valve amps into breaking up earlier.

Do expensive strings sound better? (The Ultimate String Test!)

So, I decided to put together a list of guitar strings. I went ahead and bought every pack I could get my hands on, ranging from plain strings to round cores to coated strings – you name it. My aim with this list is to test these strings blindly in a head-to-head tournament. To make the comparison easier, I'm conducting these tests on two identical guitars that have been set up the same way and sound identical. Well, they did need some work initially, but now, all the differences you hear are purely from the strings themselves.

To reduce the initial brightness that many strings tend to have, I opened the packs two weeks before recording this list, letting them react with the air. I can't say for sure how much this affects the strings, but it certainly can't hurt. Judging by my research, it seems that most of you aren't using fresh strings either, so this should be interesting.

Creating a list like this can either be a bit awkward or a whole lot of fun, and I'm leaning towards the latter.

Best Value Electric Guitars For Beginners

These are not the cheapest guitars on the market, but there is plenty of evidence to show that buying a slightly more expensive (but still reasonably affordable) guitar pays off in both sound quality and likelihood of wanting to pick up your guitar and play. And wanting to play the guitar is an important part of pushing through that initial learning curve. These guitars are nearer to the cheap end of the market, but the step up in quality for entry level guitars if huge.  Most beginners will be very hard to distinguish from much higher priced models, and will be able play these for years without feeling like they have to upgrade.
