The Zoom 707II

Advantages: Cheap, Simple to Use
Disadvantages: Quality of effects aren't great

...The Zoom 707 II is the slightly newer version of the 707. It has everything the 707 has plus the ability to insert a smart media card, which you can use to longer record samples, and/or exchange patches (the name given to the setting of the pedal, i.e. distortion, reverb settings etc...) on the internet. I bought the pedal several years ago when I had just started playing the guitar at a price of around 150 pounds. It comes with the unit itself and instruction manuals. If I remember correctly I had to purchase the power unit myself, but this was only around 5 pounds. The pedal can however be powered by 4 AA batteries instead. With 74 different effect ypes I feel this pedal provides more than enough for the beginner guitarist. There is a huge range of things you can do with this little pedal - the guitar signal goes through...

GFX-707: A Reasonable Starter

Advantages: Cheap, simple to use
Disadvantages: Truely horrible distortion

...I received a Zoom GFX-707 for Christmas several years ago, and thought when I first got it that it was the greatest thing ever. I spent days playing with all the different effects (usually creating the most distortion possible) and loved it. But as the years have drawn by and my playing and ear have improved I have come to realise that it really is quite limited. Lets start with the basics. It is a simple multi-FX guitar pedal with a range of pre-set and user definable patches (combinations of basic amp sounds and effects) and the nice addition of an expression pedal that allows you to easily one attribute of the effects. The actual effects provided cover pretty much all the commonly found effects (wah, chorus, flange, delay, etc...) and some less common effects (filters and the like). The unit itself is nicely sized so that it would...

Review of Zoom GFX-707

Pedal to the Metal. Zoom GFX-707 guitar processor.

Advantages: Lots of sounds in one package.
Disadvantages: Not mighty valve produced analogue ones.

...The Zoom GFX-707 is a guitar effects pedal. It has a large range of sounds made up of thirty factory preset ones and thirty user programmable ones. There is a built in tuner, a built in drum machine, and a large integrated foot-pedal for those squawky wah-wah moments. What does all this mean in real life? Well, costs vary. I've seen it for £129.95 at musicianshop.com, £119.00 at regentguitars.co.uk, and a there's a multi-effects version called a GFX-707 II which is available at electrohill.co.uk for £119.95. Years ago, that sort of money used to buy one Boss effects pedal with, say, distortion on it. Then if you wanted other pedals like reverb, delay, chorus and flange, these would have to be daisy-chained together with lots of little cables - a messy solution with lots of things to go wrong. This one pedal can...

M is for Magnificent

Advantages: Easy to apply, great finish
Disadvantages: Too many colours, not enough nails!

...Barry M is a brand I normally associate with bold eye colours and glittery dust. But their bold colours are what attracted me to the nail varnish range. I own five colours in total and have definitely got my eye on more, so I feel like I can comment on how the range performs. Packaging The bottle is fairly standard - glass and transparent to allow you to see the colour within, with a screw-on lid. The bottle is rectangular and has a sturdy, thick glass base. From personal experience, I can tell you that these bottles will only take a few knocks and bumps. I did have one of my Barry M nail varnishes smash in my make-up bag. There's no mention of ingredients on the actual packaging, but you can find a full list on their website, if that's something that is of interest to you. Their nail varnishes are all vegan friendly...

Review of Barry M Nail Paint

Kodak M863

Advantages: Good picture quality, LCD screen, versatility
Disadvantages: None!

...It would appear, the humble digital camera is somewhat of the ?pinnacle? in reviewing on these review sites?partly because it must be one of the main products that ?external? customers use to choose a product. So, without further ado, here?s the Kodak M863. Lovely stuff. My particular version comes in a black matt finish with a strap to place around your wrist ? being a bloke it was a far more obvious choice that the potential vivid pink option! Now, im hardly a connoisseur when it comes to digital cameras; the only other one I?ve previously owned was a ?Premier? one. (yep, never heard of them either!) But the first thing that strikes me about this camera is the large detailed 2.7 inch LCD screen on the back of the camera. With the camera being 8.2 mega-pixels; which is probably far too many to make any difference than, say, 6 mega...

Review of Kodak EASYSHARE M863

HP Photosmart R707

Advantages: Everything!
Disadvantages: Niggles Down The Side

...the camera on. The buttons are plastic although the construction is good quality the R707 doesn't feel as well made as say a Canon IXUS. This is a small camera that is light enough to tuck away in your back pocket, the camera is so small though you have to grip the camera with your fingertips and it does not feel secure enough. The quality of the pictures is excellent I took a picture of a £2 and the graphics were simply incredible. The flash has a fixed brightness but you can adjust it. When I went outside and took pictures there it was a bit grey and gloomy but the garden was amazing. In the adverts it says that this camera has 24x zoom, which is rubbish it has a 3x optical zoom and a 8x digital zoom. You can't disable digital zoom in the setup. I think the LCD screen is very tiny 1.5". the dimensions are 494x242. With the camera it...

Mmmmm... 'M'

Advantages: The joy it brings me
Disadvantages: Allows over exposure of some of Madge's crappier songs

...Mmmmmm.... 'M'. My favourite letter, apart from the love letter of course, as it is extremely satisfying to open your heart and justify your love to someone who is crazy for you and who you cherish. Things that begin with 'M' are very important to me. Allow me to mention five of them, as this site is one which lets you express yourself... 'Mum' - the most important person in the world to me. She is on the borderline of perfection, and I really am a lucky star to have someone like her. She is a fairly recently-qualified nurse and attending her graduation was the proudest day of my life. I had a wonderful upbringing, and she gave up a period of her life to bring my sisters and I up. She would spend her money on us instead of being a material girl, and always read me a bedtime story. She is now divorced, and loves her life which makes me...

Barry M, the love of my life!

Advantages: Verstaile, high quality, unique, cheap
Disadvantages: messy

...Barry M is my absolute favourite cosmetic brand. It hails itself as "the most colourful name in cosmetics" a claim which it's range certainly backs up. The whole range is so fun and allows you to create so many different looks. There are other ranges out there with colourful cosmetics such as MAC and GOSH but the difference with Barry M is the affordability. The whole range is so affordable that to build up a collection is easy. I haven't tried all the different products available from Barry M so I can only really comment properly on the ones I have. DAZZLE DUST Well dazzle dusts were my first introduction to Barry M. I found with most eyeshadows the pigment just wasn't strong enough and didn't provide me with a dramatic enough effect. At the time that I was shopping for 'holiday make up' the Barry M dazzle dusts were on 3...

Review of Barry M Cosmetics

\m/ METAL \m/

Advantages: too many to list
Disadvantages: Abosolutely none

...m/ METAL m/ I first got into metal when my parents got Sky TV. One day, my brother and I stumbled along a channel called Kerrang! It was a metal music video channel. I was amazed. Everything was so different, so honest. There was little cencorship and everything was shown, sung and screamed as it was. The first song i loved was Marilyn Manson's "The Nobodies". It's basically a song for the underdog and has started a bit of an obsession with him and his music. Some people wouldn't class it as "Metal". So apart from Mr.Manson the first metal song i liked was either Slipknot's "Wait and Bleed" or Slipknot's "Left Behind". My brother and me spent hours watching that channel and introducing everyone we could to our little world of metal music. Growing up with it When i got older and matured my dad introduced me to his...
