Bend, OR January 28, 2015 Breedlove was started in 1990 by Larry Breedlove and Steve Henderson who had a dream to build instruments unlike anything out there. Their goal was to craft responsive, lightweight, fine crafter guitars that featured innovative designs, unique tonewoods and aesthetics that set the player apart on stage. In 1994 Kim…

Boston, MA January 26, 2015 The Nemesis packs 12 superb delays including sparkling digital delay, warm and vibrant analog delay, amazingly realistic tape effects, as well as wildly animated reverse, octave, and modulating effects. There are 4 user presets, stereo ins and outs, tap tempo, 5-pin MIDI in, MIDI thru, and expression control. Out of…

Toledo, OH (January 20, 2015) -- The Reverend Airwave 12 has retro styling without the retro issues. The bridge is fully intonateable for all 12 strings – independently – chords are always in tune and sound sweeter than you expect. The wide nut provides spacing for the extra strings, and the shorter 24-3/4” scale length…

The JHS Morning Glory can perhaps be giving the award for shifting the effects pedal landscape and starting the boutique overdrive craze this side of 2010. The Morning Glory has been on nearly ever worship guitarist's pedal board from Nigel Hendroff to The James Duke. In fact back on November 6th 2014 the Duke himself…

Aaron Lehman: How did Oxygen Amps get started? Cam Leighton: Oxygen amps got its start in September 2008 when Joe and I got together and started kicking around the idea of building electric guitar amps.  Joe is a player and electronics buff who had built his own amp.  Using Joe’s amp as the prototype, we began the…

Since the rebirth of its predecessor, the Mesa Boogie Express, the Express Plus has acted as a diamond in the rough. I shouldn’t say it was love at first sight, given the front panel’s 15 knobs, 5-band EQ, and a host of intimidating switches, but nonetheless, I knew the Plus was an immense wiring improvement…

For the past couple of years we have noticed Morgan Amplification rising in the amp industry. After owning a Sampson era Matchless SC-30 I did not think there was much more the amp world could bring me. Boy was I wrong. About 6 months ago I traded a Matchless Brave amp that I just was…

This was our first experience with Matchless and was it ever good. This particular SC-30 was a late 90's Mark Sampson Era. We put it through its paces at the church for over a year and it was by far the best pedal platform amp I have played through to date. It also was super…

The Orange Tiny Terror and the Dual Terror are great amps for the money. They are lightweight and the tone on them is incredible. While Orange amps are not a favorite amongst worship guitarists we highly recommend giving these guys a try. The tone is very beefy and great for rhythm guitar. The amps themselves…

The Fender Hot Rod Deluxe is the big brother to the Blues Junior. It's 40 watts come cranking out of 2 6L6's and it is loud. The amp has a tone of clean headroom on the clean channel and gets quite dirty on the lead channel. We used one for our Easter worship service this…

The Fender Blues Junior is a 15 watt el84 driven gem of an amp. The tone is very crisp with a pop. The Blues Junior also has great bass response for an amp of it's site. It is light weight and easy to transport making it a great amp for practice at home. Don't let…

The Vox AC15 could be credited as the gateway drug of the worship guitarist. It's glassy tone and angry snarl has been the cornerstone for many of great worship guitarists including the pioneer of worship guitar - Nigel Hendroff. That's right before the Droff started playing Jackson he played a good old AC15. In fact…
