Hard Rock Collection

Hard Rock Collection
A few months back, Hard Rock shared some of the more interesting "under the radar" guitars from our legendary memorabilia collection with PG readers. This month, we're showing off some of the truly iconic axes we're fortunate enough to be stewards of. Throughout 2013, we're sending some amazing stuff around the world on our "Treasures of the Hard Rock" traveling exhibit; including a few incredible instruments. Check out hardrock.com for tour dates.

Seymour Duncan Pickup Booster Review Mini

Seymour Duncan Pickup Booster Mini pedal with gain knob and LED indicator.

If there’s any company you’d expect to understand the delicate relationship between pickups and pedals, it’s Seymour Duncan. The company’s Pickup Booster Mini, an evolution of the Pickup Booster that’s been around for roughly two decades, certainly reflects a less-is-more philosophy about what you should stick between a good pickup and your amplifier.

Because if you want to color negative space without being a space hog, there are few better means than a Stratocaster.

Guitar effects pedal with knobs, presets, and footswitches in a sleek silver design.

Darkglass Electronics is a bass player’s company. And like many bass-centric brands, they sometimes seem determined to ensure that guitar players aren’t the only ones having fun when it comes to amps and effects. If that’s true, the DSP-driven Anagram may be their most impressive form of revenge yet.
