Lighting Cables DMX Cable

Advantages: Very easy to use, very accurate.
Disadvantages: Quite small, loud noises can interfere with tuning with built in mic.

...This is a must for any musician on the move, or simply someone who needs to tune guitars often. The whole thing is incredibly easy to use, with three clear lights that light up according to the note. To use it, you can either use the built in microphone, and it will pick up the sounds very easily, but can be troublesome if there is too much background noise, things like a tv, even other guitars playing in the background can be fine, but there are times when it becomes difficult. The other way is to simply use your musical cable (same type you use for an amplifier) and plug it into the jack socket in the side of the tuner. It will then pick up anything you play. The small dial alternates between the right and left sides, making it very clear how far you are from hitting the right note. The red lights will turn off and the middle green... Read review

Advantages: Great Sound, Extremely Durable, Lasts a lifetime
Disadvantages: None

...If like me you like a bit of distortion then I couldn't recommend this Boss pedal to you enough! it hosts a whole range of distortion levels from light to extremely heavy and let's you customize the EQ levels to fine tune the sound you want. When you buy a Boss pedal you know you're spending your money wisely, because not only are they built out of metal to last a lifetime but the audio quality is exceptional and will never let you down! I do recommend buying an Ac adaptor for this pedal, however a 9v battery will last you a very long time as long as you don't leave the jack cable plugged into it (as this causes the battery to drain). CONCLUSION If you play any form of rock be it punk, metal, grunge or rock n' roll I guarantee you'll get a great sound out of this pedal to fit your exact distortion needs! I can't recommend this pedal... Read review

Advantages: Easy to use, aesthetically pleasing, good build quality
Disadvantages: Lack of features will upset expert users.

...Gemini are one of the world's best known mixer manufacturers, and are usually high up on the sales figure tables. This is conclusive proof of just how much they know about making mixers. In fact the 626 is the most popular 'home' mixer out there. I chose the 626 over the other possibilities after using my mates Gemini 676 mixer. The 676 is basically the same mixer, but with the addition of a sampler. Thinking that my keyboard has an on-board sampler, and the mixer has three input channels, then I figured it would be much better value to just buy the 626 and spend the other £50 on vinyl and another link cable, so I could hook up the keyboard. Each channel has a line or phono input, changable by way of a Single Pole Double Throw switch on the face of the unit. The inputs are easy to connect up and have a nice snug feel to them...
