I can’t take it anymore. The Dark Lord has been chillin’ in my fridge for half a month now and I must taste it. The Bard, Billy Shakespeare, words it more eloquently that myself when he says, “As is the night before some festival. To an impatient child that hath new robes and may not [...]

Pro Stage Gear Releases the Behemoth Pedaltrain Grande’

Being a pedal junkie I have recently started using the PedalTrain Pro to carry and protect my stompboxes. My 32×16 inch Pedaltrain Pro board is more than big enough to hold my favorite pedals. Still I do have a surplus of superfluous pedals that I could be using if I had the room. Now if I [...]
