"I'm kind of a vintage ju**ie." So why does Testament's Alex Skolnick play ESP?

His answer, from the clinic in our Durham studio last Sunday. Presented with ESP Guitars.

His LTD AS-1 signature is in stock now, with 18 ESP and LTD guitars on the floor, and we take custom ESP orders. Link in the first comment.

Vintage ju**ie or new-build believer?

🚨 The Fryette Valvulator Mini is FLYING off the shelves! 🚨

If your pedalboard is eating your tone or your digital rig feels a little lifeless, this mini tone saver is the ultimate secret weapon.

Running at a true 250V plate voltage, the Fryette Valvulator Mini brings back the rich dynamics, warmth, and feel of plugging straight into a tube amp. Whether you have long cable runs, a complex pedalboard, or a digital modeler, it converts your signal to low impedance while adding that sweet tube feel.

✨ Key Highlights:
• Genuine 250V high-voltage tube buffer

• Eliminates high-frequency loss & signal degradation

• Balanced XLR DI output + transformer-isolated 1/4" output

• Dual pickup load controls (impedance & capacitance tuning)

• Compact, board-friendly steel chassis

🔥 These are moving fast and stock won’t last long! Grab yours before they’re gone:
