Is there such a thing as a guitar that perfectly blends vintage feel and aesthetic with modern playability and construction? Well, the PRS DGT might just be as close as we can get! Watch and listen as I share my ownership experience, walkthrough the features, and put this incredible guitar...

Here's my personal story about how I went from analog tone snob to digital disciple, why I chose Fractal over other options, and how these incredible devices make my life as a performer, teacher, creator, and gear nerd much, much easier. What is your preferred guitar rig? Are you all in on...

Using Fractal gear is great for a number of reasons- one of which is the ability to conceptualize and create your own effects or combination of effects. In this video I combine the pitch block and the tremolo block in parallel to build an immersive and wide guitar tone. create your own effects...
