Gear, Experiments & Projects
Some gear gets bought and sold. Some sticks around because it does something special. And some inevitably ends up on the workbench. This is where we highlight interesting equipment, modifications, signal-chain experiments, and other projects that reflect our ongoing obsession with how instruments and gear actually work together.
Current Features
Interesting Instruments
Vintage pieces, modern designs, oddballs, discontinued models, and modified players — instruments that caught our attention for one reason or another.
Bass & Low-End
Basses are a particular obsession. From classic passive designs to modern multiscales, unusual electronics, and heavily modified instruments, we’re always interested in different approaches to the low end.
Electronics & Signal Chain
Pickups, onboard preamps, passive electronics, pedals, routing, signal processing, and the endless ways they can interact before the signal ever reaches a speaker.
Amplifiers & Cabinets
Vintage tube rigs, modern high-headroom amps, cabinets, speakers, and everything in between. We’re particularly interested in how amplification responds when it’s actually pushed and played.
