I just updated the list. The finished edition took up around 50 percent of my maths lesson.

Great list update.... And there goes my day on YouTube! :)

Greg Koch from Wildwood Guitars is my favorite demoist hands down.

The answer is, all of them.

When you need info on gear, it's best to use all available resources to get what your looking for. I've never had a channel that consistently reviewed stuff I care about. They all make 1 or 2 videos that I used.

The best demo of the Lakland 44-01 was an Italian channel that is utterly worthless for gear reviews in all other videos. They made this one video that nailed it. Make sure you use studio monitors or you won't hear what you need to.

I like PGS Andy, he seems to find a lot of musical things to do with even the most esoteric effects and his playing style is really similar to my own, particularly his right hand technique. So for me he really lays down a solid demo. Plus I like that PGS always uses the same amp and microphone setup. Sure I prefer a naked eye ribbon and an ac30 to a royer and a deluxe reverb, but I really know what to expect from the PGS rig because I have so much experience with that gear. Andy is the best demoer if you want a clear idea what an effect does and how it sounds through your average bar gig backline.

my 2nd pick is the guys from andertons, I really dig their amp demoing... their demo turned me onto the AC4HW, an amp I play the shit out of at home.

GEAR:
  • Roland Juno-6
  • Gibson SG Standard
  • Vox AC30 Guitar Combo Amp
