    Buzz Bin EarthQuaker Devices Zoar Dynamic Audio Grinder
    WHAT THE HELL is a Zoar? One quick Google search reveals it was a Biblical city — and that the name roughly translates to “little” or “insignificant.” Now, I don’t believe the folks at EarthQuaker Devices are biblical scholars; nor do I believe they

    Gear Of The Dark
    MANY OF US will remember getting our first delay pedal, treasuring those fond memories of how one clever little box can make an unaccompanied guitar sound thicker, deeper and, on certain settings, almost orchestral. For Norwegian musician Vegard Sver

    JOE SATRIANI still remembers the first time he laid eyes on STEVE VAI. It was 1972 in Carle Place, Long Island, and at the time, Satriani, then just a teenager, was already known around the neighborhood as a killer guitar player — and maybe an even b
