I’ve been using this thing for years — through studio changes, different rigs, and even a full year without its amp models.

In this video, I walk through why I downsized, why I tried something else, why the HX Stomp never left my rig, and how it actually holds up today.

If you own one, or you’re thinking about buying one in 2026,
I hope this helps you decide what makes sense for you.

For the past 3 years I have made over 100 Youtube videos in my "studio". This week I highlight where it is in my house and once you see it I hope it inspires you to create your art even if you don't have a perfect space. Happy New Year and here's to an amazing 2026. LFG.

Pulled this Big Muff out of storage today.
I haven’t used it since I made my Smashing Pumpkins audition video.

With all the buzz around the new ‪@EHX‬ x ‪@jhspedals‬ co-branded Muff — which looks awesome — it got me feeling nostalgic.
So I dug out my old one. Early 2000s. Paid $20.

Plugged it in and immediately remembered why this pedal became a classic.
Sometimes the OG still hits the hardest.

Do you have an OG Big Muffin?

I finally made a video about the EVH 5150 — the tube amp that reminded me why playing loud guitar is still one of the best parts of the day.

This one was actually born out of the release of the new Hypersonic digital 5150.
Seeing that drop made me look back at my tube Iconic and really ask myself why this amp still feels so special.

And the truth is… it isn’t just a metal amp.
It’s got the feel, the response, and the versatility that made me fall back in love with high-gain tube amps again.

Full video is live 👇🏾
LFG.

Picked up the ‪@jhspedals‬ 3 Series Distortion and Screamer as a little Black Friday present to myself. Been wanting to try these forever — can’t wait to put them on the board. LFG

Scored a Boss OD-3 for $40 used — and I’m honestly blown away. Why does no one talk about this pedal more?? Who else rocks one of these cause they’re bad ass.

I love tube amps but do even really need them these days with digital modellers being so good? In today’s video we discus 👇🏿
