It's New Year's Eve 2014 and I'm headed off to a cushy club gig on the water to pound people's heads while they celebrate. Great. I want to travel light and the stage is small. What to take? This time I'm taking a Boss GT-100 and a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe III. Both are respected for their capability, affordability, accessibility and sound. Here's my take on them.
Have a happy and safe New Year's Eve, everyone. Thanks for your support and contributions over the last year. I'll see you in 2015.
