Gibson sticks to meat-and-potatoes effects with this latest group of pedals

A fun guitar that delivers the boutique-on-a-budget experience in spades

This reasonably priced, carbon fiber travel guitar is great for jamming or doing a low-volume gig on a small stage

Designed and assembled in the U.S.A, these debut pedals fill the missing link in Paul Reed Smith’s signal chain

A ton of fun and a great choice for anyone who loves classic Marshall tone

These two boxes clone a pair of famed ’90s designs, namely the Klon Centaur and the Hermida Audio Zendrive

Great value for a guitar that plays and sounds as good as it does

A good-sounding stage amp with the warmth, punch and presence often missing in digital modelers

A tube amp that won’t break your back or your wallet

This affordable, super-flexible, and user-friendly amp packs a huge variety of realistic-feeling tones and killer effects.

This heavy but versatile guitar will give you the thrill of what it must have been like to open a case and revel at this radical model 60 years ago.
