The cynic in me always thinks the worst when I see anything branded with Randy Rhoads but this image is probably the best ad for a Gibson Les Paul ever. The image of Randy and his 1974 Les Paul Custom what springs to mind when I hear his name rather than the Polka dot Flying V it just suited him so perfecly, just check out the video below to see what I mean! ... It is one of the most iconic guitars in rock history: Randy Rhoads’ 1974 Les Paul Custom. The guitar that Ozzy Osbourne sideman Randy

One of my favourite pastimes is scouring YouTube for gear demos and one of my favourite channels is fearedse, run by a guitarist called Ola Englund from Stockholm in Sweden.

Ola demonstrates high gain amps as he is in a couple of very heavy metal bands, Feared and Scarpoint. I saw on his recent demo video above which is a track called

So first up is the Electro-harmonix Big Muff Pi with Tone Wicker for some crazy retro fuzz action and the second is the Sanyo Pedal Juice which I mentioned a little while ago on Guitar Noize and it is a
