    "It is expensive, but it may be the only guitar plugin you ever need": Line 6 Helix Stadium Native review (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    While things like the scaling issue on some Windows monitors and the lack of ability to run as a standalone app may put a few people off at the full $399 price, it is no exaggeration to say that Stadium Native can cover every style of music. When it comes to guitar sounds, it is a truly complete suite of professional-grade tones and may be the only guitar plugin you will ever need. A versatile plugin that covers pretty much every genre. Runs Line 6's brand-new Agoura amp models. Huge discount fo

    “I can’t help but spend time admiring the guitar every time I pick it up.” Epiphone Futura ES-355 review (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    The Epiphone Futura ES-355 takes the famed guitar and gives it a bit of a glow-up with a collection of modern features and a stunning finish. It’s the semi-hollow tone with the same sustain, a tighter low end, and a ton of output. That high output is a strange choice given the tendency for semi-hollows to feed-back, but the result is a 355 capable of a little more growl than you might expect, and a worthwhile iteration of a time-honored guitar. Tighter low end makes it more suitable for gain tha

    “A tiny tone machine that proves solid-state can sound great”: Orange Baby Terror review (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    A little amp that delivers big, the Orange Baby Terror is perfect for the studio, small stages, or rehearsals when you need an amp that will happily break up at lower volumes. It’s the classic Orange bark, alongside some well-chosen features in a fun and affordable package. Brilliant, tube-like driven sounds at low volumes. Dynamically responds to the guitar's volume control and pick attack. Not a lot of clean headroom to play with. You can trust Guitar World Our expert reviewers spend hours tes

    “It reacts to your playing every bit as well as premium pedals over three times the price”: Boss BD-2 Blues Driver review (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    If you're looking for a pedal that does high-gain shenanigans or has multiple tone-shaping options, the BD-2 Blues Driver isn’t it.

This is a solid choice for professionals and beginners alike. Delivers a wealth of versatile drive sounds Genuinely gives you amp-like touch response Tone control can get a little harsh at hi

    "It may not be perfect, but it is a bargain": Valeton GP-5 review (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    For such a small price, it’s hard to complain too much. Whilst there are some compromises, there are enough good tones in the GP-5 to cover all of the sounds a beginner will need, and having the option to run Snaptone versions of NAM captures is a real boon. In short, the GP-5 is great value for those getting started with modern, digital guitar multi-effects. Bluetooth connection was patchy during testing. App required for adjusting effect parameters and signal chain. You can trust Guitar World
