Unbiased reviews of guitars, amps, amplifiers, pedals, modelers, simulators, effects all music guitar related. Original Inside and Out close up content by Tony McKenzie including music industry events; guitar shows and points of view.
Are you sick of watching music store, makers or sponsored videos that don't show you reality? They say the gear under review is 'the best' but in reality often it's not? Learn the good and the bad from my personal experience!
Unbiased reviews giving a 'feel' of the gear just as if YOU bought it yourself. Unlike 'sponsored' reviews these reviews always tell you the good and bad about the gear. If anything IS sponsored to me (very rare indeed) then that is always disclosed, otherwise I always buy reviewed music gear equipment personally! Videos are high quality HD or 4K.

So I DID go to the Sarasota show and met a few guys that know my channel :) and thanks to each one. I did not make a video, but will compile one from all the info I have. Others were there from YT channels of course but frankly some of them I see as commercial entities which certainly I am not nor want to be. It might take a few days to create the video and post it, but at least its entirely made for viewers... This guitar was very well viewed, and much more to come... Thanks

It might be interesting to note that I have been on YouTube for 15 years YT sent a notice about that - and I currently have 470 videos. I have around 42.5k subscribers. There are very many viewers that are not subscribed which is a pity really but thanks to anyone that has subscribed. Just thought I would post this info.

The MOOER F40i was not quite as I expected for the AI... and after looking around Andertons charged way over the going rate! I expected better. Take note.

I'll be creating one of two or three video reviews coming this weekend (one) and probably week after another. Ist is MOOER F40I Inteligent Desktop Amp (its interesting) and second is Synergy Marshall JCM-800 All-Tube 2-Channel Preamp Module and Synergy Table Top Preamp. Also a Maglok from Super-Vee. Watch for them and I'm on 12 written reviews so far...

I'm STILL writing the reviews and am coming along fine. When I get them published look on the home page for a red flashing message about 2026 written reviews - there are some really interesting ones and ha even writing them is interesting with some info in them that is not in the original video reviews. Just an update...

My written updates are now on 8 reviews and the balance of 13 to do. While these will be my website only, of course the video reviews are on YT so best of both worlds. I get many viewers on my website and time it was added to ;) Thanks.
