If you've ever fancied Victory's acclaimed Duchess tone, but struggled with the entry price, the British amp firm has a solution for you, and we were lucky enough to get a demo from Chris Buck, the man you voted the best blues guitarist of 2019.

Eric Johnson's in town to launch his latest Fender signature guitar, the Virginia Stratocaster. We grabbed a chat.

And here's a giant Metal Zone pedal from Boss over on the @roland_us stand at #namm. Because... why not? #effectspedals MusicRadar

We cornered Orange Technical Director Ade Emsley, and quizzed him about the new Terror Stamp pedal amp.

The Fender Custom Shop has put on its usual show-stopping blingathon, and this $500k Strat is just for starters.

Pittsburgh Modular's Delay Network demoed to within an inch of its life.

We've been checking out the new LR Baggs Soundscape. It could be a gamechanger for acousgtic tone - look out for our video demo very soon.

We've just tried out the new @lrbaggsofficial Soundscape pedal and app - we'll get a demo on the site soon #namm2020 #namm #acousticguitar MusicRadar

The Lumatone isomorphic keyboard is certainly eye-catching, and potentially pretty useful, too, particularly if you like your music microtonal.

It looks like Korg is springing an FM surprise with the DX7-ish opsix.

We got an exclusive first look at Roland's latest V-Drum offerings, the TD-27 and its e-wolf in sheep's clothing, the Acoustic Design series.

More Korg. Here we have the ARP 2600 which, by the way, we've already reviewed!
