NEW GEAR DAY: Jim Dunlop Buddy Guy wah
Woohoo! My new wah just arrived! My busted old Crybaby must now make room for my shiny new Jim Dunlop Buddy Guy wah. I reviewed one of these a while back (read that review here) and was impressed enough to put one on my wishlist. Well here it is!
NEW GEAR DAY: Ibanez Paul Gilbert AF2 Airplane Flanger
I bought my Airplane Flanger from TunnelVision Music for $149. It took a week to get here to Australia from the US and now I can stop having USPS.com as my home page.
IMPENDING NEW GEAR DAY: Ibanez AF2 Airplane Flanger
Woohoo, I did it! I decided to buy myself a little late birthday present and ordered myself an Ibanez AF2 Airplane Flanger, the new Paul Gilbert model I wrote about last week. It should arrive next week and I’ll try to get a review done as soon as possible after then. A few weeks ago Ibanez posted some great samples of Paul Gilbert demonstrating his favourite settings. You can check that out here. Until I heard those samples I was probably going to go with the MXR flanger or wait for the forthcoming A/DA flanger reissue but the AF2 just sounded way too cool.
Hi! I'm Peter Hodgson. I write for Gibson.com, Australian Guitar, Australian Musician, Mixdown Magazine (including my instructional column, 'Unleash Your Inner Rock God,' which has been running since 2007), Blunt, Beat (including their weekly hard rock/metal column Crunch) and The Brag. And I'm Assistant Social Coordinator with Seymour Duncan.
I've been playing guitar since I was 8 years old, and I've been writing for magazines since I was 18. I've also worked as a guitar teacher (up to 50 students a week), a setup tech, a newspaper editor, and I've also dabbled in radio a little bit. I live in Melbourne, Australia, and my hobbies include drinking way too much coffee, and eating way too much Mexican food.
You can check out my guitar playing at Bandcamp or on YouTube, and feel free to email me at iheartguitarblog@gmail.com
