Paco Classical Guitar Pack Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This guitar's quality was a very pleasant surprise. The guitar teacher tuned it and it's holding well. The bridge had a 1/2 inch scratch on it, even though it was packaged very carefully. I decided it wasn't worth the hassle of exchanging. I guess that's one of the drawbacks of internet shopping. Also the free digital tuner was left out of the package but I emailed the vendor and they quickly shipped it to me. Even though the experience overall wasn't totally smooth, I'm very pleased with this purchase. It's a great deal, especially with the free digital tuner.

DigiTech RP50 Digital Amp Modeling Effect Unit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Digitech's RP-50 is a reasonably priced multi-effects unit tiny enough to take up very little space on a shelf or in a gig bag. It will provide more than enough bang for the buck for most guitar hobbyists. It contains multiple flanging, delay, chorus, autowah, and distortion effects. These go beyond the "bread and butter" stock sounds that many Korg and Zoom boxes provide, giving us truly useful and musical sounds. I'm particularly impressed with the various amplifier simulations; there are some beautiful clean Fender and Voxlike sounds hidden in here. There's also a gorgeous acoustic simulation that will strongly evoke a piezo pickup if you play without distortion. I'm also happy that the presets aren't oversaturated nonsense but actually highlight the varied sonic qualities of this multieffects package. Furthermore, the RP-50 can be used as both a headphone amplifier (perfect for when you don't want to wake up the house) and a direct input for recording. I've used the RP-50 for a lot of home recording since 2003, and the sound quality is very, very impressive even when plugged directly into my computer. In fact, I prefer the RP-50 for that use instead of using it to replace a pedal board. There's also an excellent tuner that's easier to use than some other pedal-based tuners I've tried.
Is this as good as more expensive models? Customization is, unfortunately, limited. Since you can't totally control all the parameters of each effect, exact synchronization of delays (for example) is impossible. The onboard EQ is limited to "Lows," "Mids," and "Highs" making it almost impossible to dial in nontraditional tones. There's a great-sounding drum machine included which (you guessed it) can't be reprogrammed. You can select a different drum pattern and choose a different speed, but that's it. You can't create your own patterns, and the drum speed isn't given to you in beats per minute (BPM). The selection pedals are very small and I would worry about stomping on them too hard on stage.
I've used the RP-50 since May 2003 and have never once had a problem with it. It's a valuable practice tool, sounds great, and is a terrific value. I'd buy it again if I had the chance!

First Act MG901 Lap Harp Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We had a bit of trouble tuning the harp, and probably overtightened it in the process, as the string "popped" within the first 10 minutes of use. My advice: go slow, make very minor adjustments. Although it does come with a replacement string, there are no instructions on where to get ADDITIONAL replacements strings. Nor is there any info on the First Act website. I emailed the manufacturer and received this info: "Our lap harps use standard electric guitar strings (specifically, a . 015-gauge unwound steel string that would be tuned to the note "G" on a guitar) which can be purchased at any store that sells musical instrument accessories. You may want to check stores that specialize in guitars and guitar accessories, as those stores are more likely to sell individual strings so you won't have to buy an entire pack."
This would have been very helpful to include with the documentation. My kids really enjoyed it, but I was disappointed with the way it uses just one string for the entire harp. When the string breaks, the entire harp needs to be restrung. We ended up returning this harp and purchased a different brand (Music Maker) with 15 notes (8 strings).

DigiTech RP90 Guitar Multi-Effects Processor Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I ordered this pedal expecting something better than what I recieved. Im using a Fender Frontman 65R, and playing this pedal through this amp sounds very digital and shrill.. Maybe Im just a fan for low end growl, but I felt like in any setting you put this pedal on, it is missing something..
I was able to get a couple of decent sounds out of it, but as I stated before, it still leaves something to be desired.
The interface is a pain to work with untill you get used to it and the settings are confusing unless you are sitting with the instruction manual in your hands..
I was hoping to use this pedal to save me from dumping more money into my musical gear by buying a bunch of different pedals.. But, you get what you pay for.. Overall, I was a little disappointed with this pedal. It is better to classify this pedal as a toy, rather than a serious guitar pedal.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
UPDATE
So Ive been playing with this pedal for the past few months. Ive decided that I like all of the effects it has to offer EXCEPT for most of the distortions on the pedal (This may also be influenced by my amp, a Fender Frontman 65R). If you play clean, all the effects (tremelo, chorus, delay, etc.) are actually pretty good.. Distortion sounds coming from the pedal do seem digital and are overall horrible (at least on my amp). This pedal actually replaced ALL of my stomp boxes. I find it easier to hook up this one pedal rather than make a whole chain of stomp boxes.
It grows on you..

Mendini MCT-G B Flat Green ABS Clarinet w/ Case, Tuner, Stand, Mouthpiece, Box of 10 Reeds, Cork Grease, & a Pair of Gloves Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Considering why I bought this Clarinet, it served its purpose: being a novelty PURPLE clarinet. It was cheap, so I didn't expect it to be that great, and it came with everything it said it would. The body is made of plastic, the keys feel somewhat cheap, and the silver plating isn't fastened on the bell correctly. This is a great clarinet to start out on or simply do what I did: show off. I can hit all the notes I can hit on my other Bb Clarinet, so the quality isn't compromised that much, it's just the feel of it.
