The Warm Audio Reamper does what the name says, but that's the least interesting thing about it. Tom Butwin runs through three use cases of the latest studio stalwart from @WarmAudioOfficial: pulling old direct recordings back through a real amp and pedalboard, splitting your signal to capture a dry safety track alongside your live rig tone, and even routing a vocal through a guitar overdrive pedal. For something this compact, the feature list runs long: JFET and op-amp switching for analog color or transparency, plus a built-in 50-watt power soak for silent amp recording with IRs or cab sims added after the fact.

Finally, A Safe Way to Clean Your Guitar | StewMac guitartek

Tom Butwin puts StewMac's new GuitarTek cleaning line to the test with the worst possible candidate: a neglected guitar from Facebook Marketplace. After finding the perfect subject, he brings it back to the studio to see what GuitarTek can actually do. Less than eight minutes later and after a round of total care cleaner, high-gloss polish, and fretboard conditioner, the results are hard to argue with.

John Bohlinger gets his hands on the Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition Seymour Duncan 50th Anniversary Telecaster, a faithful recreation of the personal guitar Seymour Duncan has played for over 50 years. The design traces back to the iconic guitar Seymour originally built for Jeff Beck, but features custom elements to Seymour's exact specifications. It's got a Gibson Tune-o-matic bridge, aged nitro finish, and a pair of exclusive hand-wound pickups that aren't available anywhere else.

‪Tom Butwin‬ digs into the MG-50Li, a new modeler/profiler from ‪NUX that packs an impressive amount of capability into one floor unit. The MG-50Li runs NUX's TS-AC4K technology, which models the physical components of an amp circuit rather than just its output. Crank the treble and it affects gain and output the way a real amp would. The Deep Imaging gray box system lets you capture profiles of your own pedals and amplifiers up to six layers deep. Hardware-wise, it covers a lot of ground: built-in XLR DI outs, dual effects loops, USB-C recording interface, and a 5-inch LCD with five tactile knobs that make dialing in tones straightforward. Plus, the MG-50Li has a built-in lithium-ion battery good for six hours of playing time, ready for you to just show up, plug in, and play.
