Recently I was a bit naughty a shelled out around £210 for some kit that would help me with my music project. I had just installed Logic 8 onto my Mac Pro and found that my PS Eye, which I had used for recording purposes before hand was no longer usable so I decided to [...]

Packing away my guitar gear
I’ve got a room inspection next week so I’m tidying up and decided to give my pedal storage case a go. A while back I bought a wooden briefcase for £20 and set it aside for use as a pedal case / if I was able to pedal board. It’s a nice case and I’ve [...]
