Guitar Grotto Studio

Born out of a passion for playing, recording, and video. I am excited to bring you Guitar Grotto Studios. Guitar Effect pedal demos. Gear reviews. Performances. And more. I hold a BSD in Graphic Design from Full Sail University, graduated Salutatorian of my class year. I hope you enjoy and maybe even learn a thing or two in the process.
All the Best-
Dave

I have some projects on the board, and am getting ready to start the next one.
Many of you saw the teaser post, but I am interested in seeing what my subscribers and channel watchers are interested in seeing next.

..."and now for something completely different". Just over a year ago the craze for a particular drive pedal was at an all-time-high. It sparked an idea, which I shared with ‪@schutone‬. About one year later the mad scientist turned my idea into reality...

Hope all is going well for you this new year!
Thank you for your patience while I re-record some footage (literally) and record voice overs for this video. I had hoped to have this one out sooner, as I have another Loop Pedal review on the horizon.

Also to come:
KOT-style pedal roundup
New ‪@schutone‬ pedal "collaborations"
A new series; "Second Chance", featuring pedals that deserve another look
And of course, the latest phrase looping pedals (NAMM is coming!)

Thank you to all my subscribers!
As of this post the channel is 350 strong, and still growing.

In the thick of it now. Hoping to get this video wrapped in the next 10 days...so long as everything goes well with the family vehicles (sigh).

I am working hard to get one more video out before the end of 2025.
I felt it only fitting since I started the year with what is my most watched review, ‪@MooerAudioOfficial‬ GL100, to review and compare the new GL200.
They have the technology, can the Mooer rebuild it, better than it was before...
Better? Stronger? And with...Bluetooth?!?

Finishing up more indoor principal shoots as we get closer to the next video review. Looks like weather will cooperate for the final filming the next few days. Meanwhile, here is a shot if the workspace where I am testing to see if I can recreate an errant noise described in a written online review.

A slowdown on the new video due to Technical Difficulties.
I have the video 80% done, except for the audio/video performance of the pedal (about 2 minutes long)
Would you be interested in the rest of review if this was not included? Let me know in the comments.
