Jeff Floro's All About Guitar

My friends and guitarists Dan Sistos, Jim Stubblefield, and Jean-Pierre Durand have been using and been telling me how amazing the Line 6 Helix is. Other guests like Basil Fung swear by it and there was much buzz about the Helix line at NAMM this past January. JP has been playing with the HX Stomp and tonight we take a closer look at this amazing stompbox and what it can do! Joining us is Jeffery Marshall, another All About Guitar regular, and Eric Klein, from Line 6. So join us as we take a closer look at what the HX Stomp can do and how it compares to the other Helix devices in Line 6 product line!

Don Alder gave me a call just after the holidays and was excited about some new guitars and wanted to do a show on them. I didn't have a Monday open around the NAMM Show, which they were attending, so I pre-recorded this upcoming show to take a look at these amazing instruments. Alex Wang and Van Chan from Mayson Guitars and Martinez Guitars join me and Don and we take a look at their beautiful and affordable instruments. Don also brought a Timberline Guitars harp guitar, a unique low strung Kevin Amy Muiderman guitar and a Tad Brown Guitars archtop guitar. It's a night of some really beautiful instruments, great tone and something you need to check out!!

I met Andrew Synowiec when he came on the October 15th, 2018 show with Paul Rivera Jr. and I talked to him about being on the show and tonight that is happening!
