We talked, a while back, about PRS’ new Sweet 16 amplifier.
Remember? A 16-watt 6V6-based head with a master volume. It seemed pretty tempting to say the least. It looked great, the specs were great. The only thing left was how it sounded.
Well, now you can find out.
Below is Mike Clark playing through the Sweet 16 and attached 1 x 12″ cab. For the pedants, he’s playing a 305 and McCarty.

Fancy winning yourself a spanking new Orange Dual Terror amp? Of course you do. You’re not mad, are you?
All you have to do is pop off to Premier Guitar, answer some easy-peasy questions, fill in your details and you could be plugging this little baby in.
Who wouldn’t want that?
We loved the Tiny Terror and the Dual Terror seems set to be just as good, if not better. It’s an all valve 30-watter boasting two channels (labelled Fat and Tiny Terror)for a bit more versatility. Each channel has an independent volume, …

We’ve had a few tours of guitar manufacturers up to now. How about visiting an amplifier manufacturer?
Yeah? Great. That being the case, where else could we go but to Marshall.
Here you go, then. The home of the Marshall Crunch.
Let’s ROCK!.
Too much? Sorry. Anyway, this is a long one but well worth it. Check it out…

iPhone guitar apps seem to be evolving into more and more complex utilities. We’ve considered just a few of the guitar-related apps before and now we’re looking at Guitarist and Bassist from MooCow Music.
“Never be without your guitar again”, say MooCow Music. It’s a slogan we here at Guitarless can get behind.
MooCow have released Guitarist and Bassist – instrument simulators for your iPhone.
The Guitarist app presents us with something new. While we’ve seen virtual fretboards with strings that can be plucked or sounded before, MooCow go further. Their basic ‘manual-fret’ …

Holy crap!
Are you so damn, bat-shit, guitar-crazy that you even think about guitars when you answer the call of nature? If so, these might be just the thing for you.
Jon over at GuitarNoize found these and I can’t decide if they’re an interesting curiosity or the product of a deranged mind. They’re from Jammin’ John’s and, as you can see, they’re toilet seats in the shape of guitars (he also does piano-shaped seats – bet Elton John as one in each of his nineteen bathrooms).
If you’re a folkie, you …

Pistol Slapper Blues, an old Blind Boy Fuller track, as performed by Rory Gallagher.
I’ve always been a bit ambivalent about Rory – on the one hand, many (not all) of his studio albums don’t really get me too excited but, anything live by him is always brilliant.
Case in point: Live! In Europe. Released in 1972, it was recorded on his European tour and has a nice mix of Rory rocking out with the band – on his trusty, battered Stratocaster – and some solo songs with just him playing acoustic, …

Seems everybody’s having anniversaries. PRS are 25 and are celebrating by getting you to give them money. In return, however, they’ll give you guitars. And not just ordinary guitars, but 25th Anniversary models.
Quite plush they are too. They’ll have all of the usual PRS snazziness built in – you know the story – and will feature new colours, special binding and the anniversary inlays (you can see some in the image above). These are the 25th Anniversary Shadow Birds. If you like the PRS birdie inlays, these are a nice …

…Not really, of course. It’s a ski joke… Downhill… Get it?
Gibson have collaborated with, ski manufacturer, Marker Völkl to produce a couple of ski-culture (my words) guitars. Some new skis from Völkl were inspiration for the Black Les Paul Custom below and the V above is inspired by Marker’s Rule The Mountain slogan.
The guitars will be built at the Custom Shop in Nashville and will be on display through the winter before being auctioned at the SIA Show in January. The proceeds from the Les Paul will go to Protect …

I AM NAVARRO! I BEAR GIFTS FOR LUCKY MORTALS! SEE MY BOSS PEDAL. YOU WANT IT. I KNOW YOU WANT IT, PUNY MORTAL. DO NOT BE COY, LEST I TRANSFORM INTO A SWAN AND RAVAGE YOU.
The words of Dave Navarro, there, who is one of the guitar celebs that are helping BOSS out with their new giveaway competition.
Every two weeks, until the end of the year, Boss are giving away a different pedal, signed by a guitary supreme being (The Navarro, Frank Gamble, Yngwie Malsteem and Lincoln Brewster). Oh, and …

Ibanez are joining a number of other manufacturers in encouraging customers to buy as the year approaches its end. To that end, they’ve announced a number of promotions that, if you’ve been considering buying an Ibanez product, might well be of interest.
Top of the heap is a $200 rebate on selected Satriani and Via guitars. If you buy one and send proof of purchase to Ibanez, they’ll, very kindly, present you with two hundred bucks in return. Not to be sniffed at.
A $100 rebate is available on certain RG1570 Prestige …
