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 Beginner Guitar Amplifiers

Guitar amplifiers can come in various forms, including combo amps (where the amplifier and speaker are housed in the same unit) and amp heads with separate speaker cabinets. Amplifiers can have different wattages, which affect their overall volume and the type of tones they can produce when overdriven. Additionally, many amplifiers offer various sound-shaping options, effects, and features that allow guitarists to tailor their tone to their preferences.

Amplifiers play a crucial role in a guitarist's setup, as they not only amplify the sound but also contribute significantly to the overall tone and character of the guitar's sound.

Before we dive in, I want to express my opinion that there's no definitive "best" amp. As the saying goes, one person's preference might not be the same for another. However, I do believe that there's never been a better time to be a beginner looking for a guitar amp. There's an abundance of fantastic options to choose from. Hopefully, this list will give you a taste of the incredible amps available at Sweetwater that are perfect for beginners like you.
