Unbiased reviews of guitars, amps, amplifiers, pedals, effects all music guitar related. Original Inside and Out close up content by Tony McKenzie including music industry events; guitar shows and points of view.

Are you sick of watching dealer, makers or sponsored videos that don't show you reality? They say the gear under review is 'the best' but in reality often it's not? Learn the good and the bad from my personal experience!

Unbiased reviews giving a 'feel' of the gear just as if YOU bought it yourself. Unlike 'sponsored' reviews these reviews always tell you the good and bad about the gear. If anything IS sponsored to me (very rare indeed) then that is always disclosed, otherwise I always buy reviewed music gear equipment personally! Video is always high quality HD or 4K.

Now sit back and enjoy... visit tonymckenzie.com for more reviews than just on YouTube!

AI comes to the simulators or modelers depending on what YOU call them. This is a full inside and out review. I do show in a few places the AI idea, in use and the results of applying the AI eq before and after in some playing. Make up your mind about the difference! Also a bit of playing at the end showing off one preset (Neko Tri Lead) that basically can really sound good. Anyway some time tonight - its being created right now. Something different.

Ah what! Tony you never mentioned this amp? Well you're right I didn't did I :) This one is coming up probably Saturday night and its a pretty cool amp - not standard and a few 'quirks' but don't hold that against it. A really well looked after amp that certainly is interesting to see close up and indeed hear. This amp can do the business because of a number of things and 'could' be played even in a house I guess. But wait for it and I actually enjoyed creating that video. This will be the 446th video I will have created and I was recently congratulated by YouTube for making them. But I'm still light years away from 100,000 subscribers so likely I'll never get that YT plaque :( Oh well... I guess I could sell out :) or not.

This review comparison is on tomorrow night:

So the choice is Fender or Warmoth. Fender Maple/rosewood or Warmoth rosewood? Its a hard choice and after viewing the Warmoth neck we compare both. Choose carefully.


Should be interesting. Thanks

Something different coming up as part of the 'parts list' for the new body/neck that some might like and seems interesting: ObsidianWire ST 7-Way ST HSS/HSH Harness that allows for a number of combo's of pickups etc. Waiting for this to arrive with other parts....

I completed the guitar body video today and it will be on there tomorrow (29th) at 6:00 pm UK time. I also included as a little bonus a GOTOH 510T-FE1 tremolo short review as that looks really good. Nice to review something that was really well made from Gotoh and the guitar body does not disappoint. Thanks.

Hmm - I saw this on the Warmoth website recently - I think one of just 5 made and had some $ over from USA trip so I bought it... Worth seeing I guess :) coming soon.

The finished Jeff Beck guitar is coming up next as I wanted to get that out of the way. Ha don't look for anything remotely like Jeff Beck in the playing... I could not do that if I wanted to! In any case just a bit of regular every day rock. But take the time to tell me which amps I used... there are 4 tracks 2 tony and 2 Alan Bruce. So were they tube amps, simulators, or something else? Alan's tracks had two amps and my two tracks were 1 amp. No cleans in sight sorry. But worth having a go to 'guess' what the amps were. Upload Saturday.
