Boss MS-3 First Impressions Review

I have had the Boss MS-3 for a month now and have used it on a number of gigs, so I felt it was time to do a video about what my first impressions of the unit were. I also compare it to the Line 6 Helix and Line 6 HX effects and how I feel that this works on my pedalboard. The video review also contains a run down of my setup with the sounds that I use.EnjoyPeaceNeil

RANT : Online forums, echo chambers, GAS and guitarists

Time for another little rant video. I know this one will probably cause some viewer to get a bit angry, but maybe that is the point. Maybe sometimes it is good to self reflect. In this video I will be looking at the internet phenomena of people always wanting the 'next upgrade' or the 'next piece of gear' without fully exploring or LEARNING about what they already have, LEARNING IS HARD SOMETIMES and the more effort you put in, the greater the returns (and the less gear you need!)Delve in to my argument here, and of course....I’d love to hear your thoughts!Enjoy!PeaceNeil

New Logo and brand

I am please to announce that the first stage in the revamping (and rebranding) of my website....and general musical life is coming along nicely with the development of my new logo and style. This is all in conjunction with the release of my new guitar album which should be hitting the online world on the 1st of October.....fingers crossed. I wanted an logo which was musical (see if you can spot it!) and also managing to keep my initials in. I am so pleased with the results. There will be a lot more updates to come, including the big one....yes the website revamp. I am working to declutter and make the website easier for the viewer and easier to find things on it than it is right now.Thanks for your support.EnjoyPeaceNeil

Mooer Triangle Buff review

So after much deliberation and even a YouTube video to my viewers asking wether or not I should get a fuzz pedal.....basically I decided to go for one. As mentioned in the video, I have had a few over the years, but just couldn’t get along with them. I love David Gilmour’s tone and Eric Johnson, so I figure that there must be something I was missing. So I decided to go for the Mooer Triangle Buff (nice pun on the muff there!), and see if I could finally make fuzz work for me.So here is the video of my adventure and of course the review. Mooer Triangle Buff....so yes I finally got a fuzz pedal!!! But do I like it??Pedal with a funny name! But what does it sound like?EnjoyPeaceNeil
