Keith Urban
"Urbanуs gear is constantly changing, but when we caught up with him the first stompbox drawer in Urbanуs rack was loaded with a Demeter COMP-1 Compulator, a Wampler Ego Compressor, an Analog Man Juicer (which is a replica of Dan Armstrongуs vintage Orange Squeezer compressor), a Wampler Paisley Drive, and two Boss GE-7 graphic-equalizer pedals. A Voodoo Lab Pedal Power 2 Plus powers all the stompboxes. The next drawer down featured an MXR Distortion III, a T-Rex Alberta overdrive, a B.K. Butler Tube Driver, and two Klon Centaur overdrives, all powered by a Voodoo Lab Pedal Power 2 Plus. An adjacent rack featured a pedal drawer with an early-у80s Pro Co Rat, an MXR GT-OD overdrive, an XTS Custom Pedals Precision Overdrive, and a Boss CE-2 Chorus powered by another Voodoo Lab Pedal Power 2 Plus."

Remembering Tony Rice: 8 Iconic Licks from the Master Guitarist

Remembering Tony Rice: 8 Iconic Licks from the Master Guitarist
By Jordan Klein from San Francisco, United States

In December of last year, Tony Rice passed away. He was/is my all-time favorite guitarist. Like many of his fans, my love of his playing has likely transcended obsession. In fact, at the time of writing this, I have transcribed over 100 Tony Rice solos. That puts me in a unique position to share with you not only my favorite Tony Rice licks but what I think might be Rice's favorite licks, if the frequency with which he played them is any indication.

EarthQuaker Devices Announces the Barrows Fuzz Attacker

Barrows pays homage to the iconic MKII circuit while adding modern refinements that would make even the most discerning vintage purist weep tears of harmonic joy. At its heart, Barrows features a trio of carefully matched germanium transistors nestled within finely tuned circuitry that has been lovingly coaxed to produce everything from light, singing distortion to crushing fuzz tones with nearly infinite harmonic-rich sustain.

Rhpf Electronics Introduces The Twin Peaks Eiger-Mönch

Rhpf Electronics Introduces The Twin Peaks Eiger-Mönch

Two purpose-voiced delay lines that can run in parallel or interact in a true cascade. Built to transform delay from a passing effect to a core element, shaping time, sculpting space, and unlocking textures never heard before.

RhPf Electronics has introduced the Twin Peaks Eiger-Mönch, a dual-delay pedal that reimagines how guitarists use time-based effects. No tap-tempo divisions or glitch tricks; instead, two distinct voices interact in musical and inspiring ways. One line is bright and articulate, the other warm and lush. Each has its own Rate and Repeats controls so players can shape complementary echoes that blend or collide.

Reverb is one of the most powerful colors in our palette. We all know that moment when you feel the need to add some to your tracks—whether you’re recording and looking for an inspiring new dimension, or you’re mixing and require that extra touch of spatial magic. But why are there so many options? With literally hundreds of convolution, algorithmic, plate, and spring reverbs out there, it’s easy to feel an overwhelming sense of anxiety. Knowing the differences between types of reverbs and why certain units have become legendary can significantly elevate your recordings and mixes. Tighten your belts, the Dojo is now open.
