Written by Helmut Watterott
A quick demo and review of the PylePro PDMIC78 dynamic cardoid pattern instrument microphone. This is a great microphone and at very low price.

Say hello to Marc-Eric from Stonefly effects. He kindly added his interview via our form.

Please read the interview with master luthiers Eliran Barashi and Kiki Goldstein.

Greenhouse Effects Self Titled modular effects pedal
Written by Helmut Watterott
Greenhouse effects have a modular effects pedal. We had a look at the modular system and it has impressed. The idea is that you buy the 'Self Titled' pedal which is in effect an enclosure which then takes effects modules. The enclosure is built in the same quality and tank-like fashion as the other pedals by Greenhouse Effects. It has three dials on the top and all the plugs and circuitry to facilitate the modular effect that will be plugged in.

Sludge Hammer effects pedal Killer Fuzz demo and review
Written by Helmut Watterott
Throw your shitty fuzz pedal in the bin and get the Sludge Hammer. This pedal has made all others obsolete!
Greenhouse Effects hand built effects pedals are a rare breed of quality and sound. Of all the boutique and commercial pedals I have handeld these feel like a leap beyond the usual care and attention to detail and quality. The case is full metal and of a design I have not seen. The switches and pods work and feel lovely and the designs are fairly unique.
