http://www.ehx.com The Cathedral, by electro-harmonix. Super versatile reverb with some sweet presets. The reverse setting is my favorite. Yes, I still hate reverb, but have given in to the fact that I must demo them anyway. I had only 7 minutes left on my camera tape, so I did a quick run through of the presets to show what could be done with the box of echos. I used my 59 historic les paul and a lovely Fender blues junior amplifier.

http://www.piggyfx.com Hand Built in Israel, the Brown Pig dirt box is thick, plump, and juicy, like a pulled pork sandwich. I loved it. Really put some meat into my clean tone. Okay…kinda cheesey, but true! I used my beloved http://www.kingbeeguitars.com relic telecaster and http://www.drzamps.com MAZ Jr amplifier

http://www.nevadamusic.co.uk/search.aspx?keywords=spider%20iv Why buy an amp and a whole bunch of pedals when you can get it all in one great unit? Features include amp models, distortions, fx, tuners, loopers, presets etc. There are smaller models for those starting out and more comprehensive ones for those who don’t want to spend time to searching for loads of wires and batteries and just want to play guitar after a days work!!
The Line 6 Spider IV guitar amplifiers pick up where the best selling Spider III range left off, advancing what is sonically possible from modeling amplifiers. Featuring complex distortions, and tube-style compression and sophisticated dynamic response, the Spider 4 range represents the most advanced Line 6 amp modeling to date.
Inspired by the sounds of classic American, British and European amplifiers, and based on the features that made Spider III amplifiers best sellers, Line 6 Spider IV amps offer an unlimited array of tones ranging from sparkling clean, through rich mid-range crunch just on the verge of breakup, right through to high-gain metal lead tones. Throw in a whole host of quality digital effects, coupled with unparalleled flexibility and editability, and you have some of the best value digital modeling amps currently available and what’s more their compact, easy to use and best of all great fun to use whether you want to jam, practice, record, gig or just play along to records, the Line 6 spiders deliver amazing variety and tones in a very affordably, quality product. No wonder they are one of the best selling amps…..

This is a brief roundup of almost all Z Vex pedals (by Mr. Vex himself) taken from the NAMM exhibition at 2006 by gearwire.com.
Mr. Vex keeps his usual humour and good mood (I love that!) despite the fatigue of the show… My favourite, of course, is the Wah.
Beautiful handcrafted (and handpainted, too!) pedals, but some of them a bit overpriced – even above usual boutique pedals’ prices – and a bit small to be used easily on stage (unless you tape it down and use your finger to switch it on/off to avoid stepping on the knobs as well…)
To Mr. Vex’s immense credit, they are really advanced in terms of electronic design, and not a copy of anything else (a refreshing move in today’s world of pedal clones).
Described by some snobbish people as “gimmicks”, it is true that some of them are too strange for more than one song, and too unpredictable to get a constant sound from, but sometimes today’s music desperately needs to be less predictable… Of course, there are the “normal” ones such as the Box Of Rock, the Super Duper etc. but most of them are completely crazy!
Oh, and by the way, my all time favourite fuzz for my electric guitar would be the Woolly Mammoth – a fuzz initially designed for bass – if it didn’t sound so muffled and so uncontrollable. In reality, it sounds much different than the wonderful clip at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XW8-9P_FFw .
UPDATE: My snobbish attitude towards the Fuzz Factory is… gone! I am now the proud owner of one. Strange really, because I had played with it a lot before, and never really liked it. It doesn’t do everything, but has the advantage of instant wall-of-fuzz tone on a clean amp (think Fu Manchu, Smashing Pumpkins, Jesus & Mary Chain etc). And in bedroom volumes, too (although I can’t wait to take it on one of the oncoming gigs…)
