The Friedman IR-X is a compact all-tube preamp and DI pedal with two channels, built-in cabinet simulation, custom IR support and huge British-inspired tones. In this review, I look at the feel, sound, features and whether it makes sense for recording and pedalboard rigs.

The NUX MG-30 and NUX Trident are both strong guitar modelers, but they are made for slightly different players. In this comparison, I look at sound quality, build, workflow, footswitches, recording use and which one makes more sense for your setup.

NUX’s take on an affordable modeler promises a vast array of features at a budget-friendly price point. But is it good?

Recording guitar is tons of fun, but why does your recorded tone sound way different than what you dialed in?

The Expressive E Osmose is a multidimensional synthesizer that gives each key velocity, aftertouch and pitch control. In this review, I approach it as a guitarist and use it to build a full pop cover with drums, bass, pads and expressive lead sounds.
