Lighting Control CA8 Controller

Advantages: Small, portable, practical
Disadvantages: Slight loss of sound quality at high volumes, eats up batteries

...Features: 2 watt speaker, Input socket, headphone socket, tone control, volume control, on/off/overdrive control, on/off indicator light, belt clip and a mains adapter socket. This small amp is perfect for you if you like playing guitar well into the night since it has a headphone socket and it is also quite a quiet amp but it can also be a beast when you pump up the volume or, if you travel around a lot and you don’t want to lug around a bigger amp. It also makes a good first amp since it is relitvly cheap but for what you pay it is extremely good value for money. The Marshall MS-2 is an amazingly practical device, it is 100% portable since it is powered by a 9V battery but if you don’t want to spend a lot of money on expensive batteries then it can also be powered by a 9V DC cable (which can be purchased for around £15...

Advantages: Huge Sound
Disadvantages: Loss of social life

...This pedal will convert your small combo into a full on marshall stack. No kidding! There are a range of distortions available from fairly light overdrive type distortions to full-on Metallica-esque distortion. The latter is truely awesome. By setting a scooped setting the sound is second to none. It features treble, bass and 2 midrange tone controls which gives complete control over the sound. For use in metal playing, sustained power chords or smooth solo sounds I cannot recommend this pedal enough. Brilliant. I wouldn't recommend it to people who are after a less full on distortion as there are better pedals for dealing specifically with slight distortion. But for more full on stuff, buy it!...

Advantages: Good range of sounds, excellent build quality
Disadvantages: uhm... well.....

...The Boss CEB-3 is a Bass Chorus pedal, and uses the same classic pedal deisgn as all of the single pedals that Boss produce. Chorus is an effect that when used lightly sounds like there are two basses playing exactly the same thing. if you were to fret the 5th fret on the E string of your bass, and play it at the same time of the A string, that sort of swirlling sound that produces is similar to a weak chorus. However when the rate of the chorus is really cranked it makes a really really wacky vibrato sound. There are four controls on the pedal. The first is the level control. This knob controls the amount of the effect and the the amount of the dry signal that are outptu from the pedal. When this knob is turned all the way up, you will get pretty much all of the effect signal, but if all the way down you will get pretty much... Read review
