It’s been a pretty turbulent 2023 and early 2024 for me, so I think it’s high time to slow things down. My first post of the year is usually a blog-focussed motivator for myself; Pointers on how the blog could improve and lessons learned, which hopefully other bloggers can get something from.

Line 6 Helix Guitar Multi-Effects Review
Line 6 has a lot of really great gear. I own (and have held) many different effects processors, amps, and guitars from Line 6’s catalogue. I love the Spider amps, I love my Variax guitars.
