Pyle-Pro PGW170 - VHF Belt Pack Wireless Guitar Transmitter Review

(More customer reviews)
A PYLE of shiite......
I bought this thing and have 3 others, Samson brand, and right from the day I bought it it didn't function right, so I try returning it (but had shelved it inadvertently seeing I have bigger things to worry about) so the secretary there (I'm sure at the behest of the owners) gave me all kinds of grief to return the thing a couple days after the policy required and only the receiver, not just sending me a whole new product.
so after bickering for a couple days in emails back and forth, PAYING MY OWN DOUGH to ship the thing back and some wrangling back and forth, I send it and get back one that also did not work....which says to me (A) they just returned the thing I sent them to be ()*^()^'s ( I forgot to mark it so I would know) or (B) the main box was no good and not the beltpack.
So, I wasn't about to go through the same routine I did to return the beltpack for a $50 piece of *()^)^) so you can see in a Youtube the Pete Townsend routine I did to it ....but I won't link it here because then they'll find it and ask youtube to remove it or try and hassle me and sue me for defamation.
So search there for PYLE OF (*^*()&*_ and you should find it...it's pretty funny frankly people tell me....
Obviously my opinion is 'Save your money and buy the competitors product'
For instance, My Samson models (3) work still after years, only problem I notice with them all, the low end ones, is they don't pick up low guitar tones very well but play well when doing leads with a stomp box of your choice and middle chord tones...

KRK RP6G2 Rokit G2 6-inch Powered Studio Monitor (Single Speaker) Review

KRK RP6G2 Rokit G2 6-inch Powered Studio Monitor (Single Speaker)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
These monitors are a serious upgrade for any computer system especially audiophiles and musicians. These are great for Garage Band or Logic on the Mac and recreate the sound with amazing clarity, depth and tone. Plus bass is impressive for a small speaker and high's are crisp and detailed without being unbalanced. These speakers create an amazing listening experience for all type of music and instruments for a studio or small room. Not going to be for a large room setup but if you have the space or can mount these for computer/studio setup you will be very impressed with them.

Click Here to see more reviews about: KRK RP6G2 Rokit G2 6-inch Powered Studio Monitor (Single Speaker)

The KRK RokitG2 Series takes value-priced monitors to a new performance level. All of the great stuff that Rokit's have been known for (front-firing bass port, soft-domed tweeter, glass aramid composite yellow cone) are still there, but the G2 Rokit's feature refined voicing and a new curved baffle that looks great, reduces diffraction and provides even better monitoring accuracy.

No Pain With Gain Why compromise gain structure to achieve a comfortable listening level? As musicians and recording people ourselves, we've asked that question too. So each Generation 2 Rokit comes with an Input Volume Control that provides an adjustable gain range from +6dB to -30dB. Just another way the Rokit lets you focus on your mix, and not on compatibility concerns.
Catch a Wave, for a 3D Mix Recessed tweeters may look the same, but they don't perform the same. KRK has designed a superior tweeter wave guide for the Rokit that provides optimal high frequency pattern control and focuses the sound outward, away from the cabinet. More conventional designs direct sound along the plane of the cabinet where waveform interaction can cause phase problems and increased diffraction. KRK knows a properly engineered high frequency wave guide is a critical component to great sound, and one key to our award winning performance.
You've Got Connections At KRK our focus is your mix. But it doesn't stop at creating accurate monitors. We live this stuff and appreciate the need for monitors that not only sound great but work easily into your particular set up. That's why you'll find plenty of input options with your Rokit, sure to accommodate any studio environment. So if it's RCA, Quarter-Inch (balanced/unbalanced) or XLR inputs you require, Rokit has got you covered.
Even More Accurate Than Before We took a great monitor series and made it better. Our engineers and listening panel took the Generation 2 Rokits' speaker voicing to even more accurate levels. What you hear is what you are intended to hear, coloration is not part of the spec. This performance is brought to you by drivers that are custom-designed by our world-class studio monitor engineering team, for clear, low-distortion performance.
Take Control While your Generation 2 Rokit leaves the factory voiced to our demanding specs, KRK also knows that no two rooms "sound" the same. As such, each Rokit comes equipped with a High Frequency Level Control. This feature provides specific adjustment of high frequency output most commonly affected by room acoustics. It's just one extra level of control that KRK gives you to ensure the most accurate mix for your particular room's acoustics.
Don't Be Square, Curves Ahead Our new Rokit looks different, so it can sound better, and in a wider "sweet spot." Traditional rectangular speakers suffer from diffraction as sounds leaving the edge of the cabinet are reflected back into the original sound field, and at different time intervals. This phase distortion creates a "narrow" or boxy" sound. The Generation 2 Rokit series eliminates this issue with radically engineered curved surfaces, so diffraction is virtually eliminated. Simply put, you'll get better sound in a wider area.
Let's Be Up Front Take a look at competitive monitors and you'll find ports on the back of the cabinet. These rear-firing ports tend create bass coupling with walls and corners amplifying low frequency information which will color your mix. The superior design of the KRK Generation 2 Rokit's include front-firing ports, which are just the right shape and taper to reduce port turbulence. You'll appreciate the clean and accurate bass performance, this approach delivers, even at high SPL's.
Power Up! A great sounding monitor doesn't stop with a great cabinet and custom drivers. Our true bi-amplified amplifier system provides discrete low-distortion power for each driver. While our active crossover systems provide smooth and accurate frequency response, and again, accurate diffraction control.

Pyle-Pro - Compressor Sustainer Effect Guitar Pedal Review

Pyle-Pro - Compressor Sustainer Effect Guitar Pedal
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This compressor does its job. At first there was allot of noise, then I turned down the level to about 9 o'clock and the sustain could be turned to between 1 and 2 o'clock and now it sounds good. It did take some time to get the quality sound without extra static, yet it does what a compressor is supposed to do.

Audix I-5 Instrument Microphone Review

Audix I-5 Instrument Microphone
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This mic is your standard dynamic instrument mic. There is nothing revolutionary about it, but I can say that it sounded better than the old reliable SM57 on snare drum. It sounded pretty good on a guitar cabinet, also - a bit better than the SM57 in that application also. It's $10 more expensive than the SM and I would say it's worth the extra change.

Laney LX120TWIN 120-Watt Guitar Amplifier with Digital Effects, Black Review

Laney LX120TWIN 120-Watt Guitar Amplifier with Digital Effects, Black
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a great amp. I played a Crate before this and I have to say the sound is so much better. It may be the Celestion speakers, but with two 12in speakers the sound is so full. I play a Fender Strat and an Epiphone Les Paul. They both sound great through this amp. It even fell down the stairs and it still works rocks. Its build like a tank! If you are thinking about this amp trust me you should buy it. Its got great clean tones sort of like a Fender with out the glassy tone and a distortion like a Peavey with out the noise or mud. I love it and you could too.
