Wriggley, Wriggley Worm

Electro-Harmonix Worm

I treated myself to a new effects pedal for my birthday. I’m not one for too many pedals, as they suck your tone, but I fancied something a little different.

The Electro-Harmonix Worm is a Phaser, Auto-Wah, Tremolo & Vibrato all rolled into one. I’m looking forward to trying it out with the band, so I will follow up this post with some sound-clips.

Classic guitars get the Haynes treatment

Stratocaster Haynes Manual

Haynes Manuals the company famous for it’s car maintenance manuals now produce a book for the Fender Stratocaster. Came across it in Waterstone’s and it’s brilliant. Step by step guides on re-finishing a neck…stuff like that. A great reference tool.

There’s also one for a Fender Telecaster & a Gibson Les Paul.
