1. Budda Superdrive amp - We got up close and personal with the Budda Superdrive Series II V-40 ahead of our review.
2. Win Sonisphere tickets - We're giving away a pair for the Knebworth festival. You could be seeing more great guitarists than you can shake a Strat at in July - including these three amigos from the national treasure that is Iron Maiden.
