Rabbit Hole Audio’s NAM captures surprised me with their excellent guitar tones and remarkable playing dynamics. Here’s how they performed in my home studio.

The NUX Amp Academy Stomp just received a huge update. With new effects, NAM Lite 2 support, Deep Image AMP Models, improved footswitch controls and the new NUX Audio app, the pedal now feels much more complete.

The HX Stomp and Strymon Iridium can both replace a guitar amp, but they take very different approaches. I compared their sounds, amp models, effects, connectivity and workflow to find out which one makes more sense.

Can you build a complete guitar pedalboard for around €500, including the board, power and cables? We tried two very different approaches and ended up with surprisingly versatile rigs.

Building a guitar pedalboard rarely goes exactly to plan. Here is my real-world pedalboard build, including signal chain, power, wiring, cable management, pedal choices and the problems I ran into along the way.
