My "Souped Up" Amp




          One part of being a guitar player that can get really interesting is exploring the DIY amp and stompbox route.  As part of a science fair project I built this amp and another one coming up soon.

Picks


          Picks are generally a pretty minor detail in a guitar player's equipment setup, but they are necessary and are more important than a beginner might realize.  I have no difficulty in choosing picks - personally these Dunlop Max Grip Carbon Fiber picks are the very best.  I recommend these to anyone - they are small but grippy and last forever.  Try them and never need to use any other picks ever again.  (End unpaid endorsement)

Fender Mustang I Review


          For $120, the Mustang I is pretty much the best amp for the money on the market.  The amount of effects and sounds available through Fender Fuse make it unbeatable.

Danelectro Fab Distortion Pedal Review


          The Danelectro Fab guitar pedals are pretty much the cheapest stompboxes on the market.  At only about $15 each, they are a nice option for guitarists on a budget.

Fender Frontman 10G Amp Review


          The Fender Frontman 10G is a small, portable 10 watt practice amp.  All good, but its low price shows through its lack of tonal variety.

Fender Squier Bullet Strat Review


     
          The Squier Bullet Stratocaster is a beginner's electric guitar modeled on the Fender Strat.  It costs on average about $130 and is a decent first guitar.

More after the break.
