Hey All, I'm wondering who you turn to for pedal reviews on the web? Besides Pete Thorn :-)

Shnobel has quite a view decent and comprehensive pedal reviews.

Probably Andy from the Proguitarshop review. I also like Gearmandude.

I read/watch as many as I can. My favourites are Mike Hermans (he did great reviews for Prymaxe) and Andy from Proguitarshop.

I think it's bad form to propagate the idea that any of these gentlemen give fair reviews or critiques on pedals. Aside from a select few who do unbiased comparisons (Shnobel), most these folks are paid by the pedal companies to advertise their products. That is not a review. I'd hesitate to call any of those names reviewers, as I have never heard any of them except Pete Thorn and the Anderton crew (but they only seem to know what they're doing 50% of the time) say anything negative about a pedal ever.

If we're talking demo artists Orange should hire to show off the Bangeetar, I'd say Andy at Proguitarshop and Mike Hermans are the best.

(Tech reviews following the main reviews are excellent!)

Oh, and (according to yourself Alex!) myself for the Bax Bangeetar... :lol:

Hope those help a little anyway.

Another vote for Andy at Proguitarshop. He's always playing something that really showcases what the pedal can do.

Justnick, more of a real world review for me. I've found that Mike Hermans and Andy at Pro Guitar Shop, while well produced demos, can make a turd sound good.

Gearmandude is good as well.

+1 for Andy at PGS and Prymaxe Vintage are the first and many times only places I go. A little talk, if any, and a lot of playing.

just add to the list for Andy @ proguitarshop, Schnobel and occasionally pryemax.

if you are looking for a pro review of the Bax, then make sure it isnt Chappers as he will dime it while chugging on his own guitar and miss the point entirely

I always go to Gearmandude because he shuts up and plays, plus he does side-by-side shootouts. These are the exact same reasons why I can't stand Rob Chapman's reviews. :roll:
