    Late to the party but... NAMM videos (AX8 inside)

    I had the great privilege to go to NAMM this year, not so much for the gear than to see great musicians play. Where I live, in Mauritius in the Indian ocean, you never see anyone play, so it was a real feast for me. I know I'm a bit late about this, but here's some videos. Some of my favorite...

    channel switching question - Mesa MK V 35 watts

    Does anyone here owns both a FX8 and a Mesa Boogie Mk V:35 ? If so, how does the channel switching works with the relay on the FX8, as the Mesa footswitch is not a mono one ?

    NGD : Harley Benton CST-24T

    Harley Benton guitars, Thomann's Musikstore brand, are incredible bang for the buck instruments. I already had a Les Paul and a Tele, and wanted a PRS copy to add to my collection. The CST-24T is considered by many to be the best Harley Benton for the money, at around 220 euros ! These...
