Perfect Pairings: Moog Theremini and KHDK Scuzz Box
In this edition, we’re taking an unconventional route and plugging the Moog Theremini into the KHDK Scuzz Box for some unexpectedly heavy theremin action. Moog Theremini At first glance, the theremin is a pretty difficult instrument to learn, let alone incorporate into your music. Thankfully, Moog has improved the learning curve with the Theremini with a […]
Perfect Pairings: Electro-Harmonix MEL9 & Earthquaker Devices Spatial Delivery
When is a guitar not a guitar? When you plug any guitar into the Electro-Harmonix MEL9, your signal transforms into one of 9 classic tape-emulated sounds. We played an American Elite Telecaster through the pedal, choosing its Strings voice for that slightly grainy string sound you’ve heard on countless psychedelic tunes. We then took a few steps further out of the […]

Perfect Pairings: Fender American Standard P-Bass and Catalinbread SFT
This month, we’re plugging in the Fender American Standard P-Bass and the Catalinbread SFT Vintage Growl bass pedal for fat, SVT-style bass tone. The Fender American Standard Precision Bass honestly might be the first instrument that comes to mind when any of us are asked to think of a bass. Since its introduction in 1951, […]
Perfect Pairings: Reverend Descent & Orange Rockerverb 100 MKIII
September’s Perfect Pairing: Reverend Descent H90 Baritone & Orange Rockerverb 100 MkIII Head This month, we’re plugging the Reverend Descent H90 baritone guitar into the Orange Rockerverb MkIII for 100 watts of earth-shaking low end.
