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

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.

Dropping next week (finally)! This one took a bit longer, but every aspect of this new Looper by Flamma has been looked at. #Flamma #FF20 #Looper #Pedal #Guitar #Musician #Tool #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.

Thank you for your patience. With the video 100% finished I realized the pacing was off. It will take another day or so to correct this, and make the Deep Dive a better experience for all.

After finishing editorial and design work on my wife's book, getting major repairs on both vehicles, and celebrating a few family birthdays, I am finally able to get back in the Grotto and finish recording/editing for the deep dive on the Zoom MS-90LP+. Thank you to all who have found, subscribed, and commented during this time.
All the Best-
Dave

Finally...
Review video for the ‪@ZoomSoundLab‬ Multi-Stomp MS-90LP+ Phrase Loop Pedal goes live April 4!

From personal injuries, to adventures in editing and sound issues, it finally all pulled together.
In the coming weeks there will be a supplement video going more in depth with the menus, and playback for all of the included rhythms and guides.
