A friend of mine runs Six String Soul, a great guitar blog/forum. Earlier this week he published an excellent interview with Geoffrey Teese, the pedal guru behind Real McCoy Custom wah pedals.

If you’re a boutique effects pedal addict (and who isn’t these days), this article is a must-read. Teese hands out tons of information about what he’s done to build his pedals better than the standard wah pedal, the best ways to utilize a wah, and hints toward a new signiture wah pedal coming later in 2008.

Check it out.

I’m starting to feel like a real tech-geek…but I kind of like it!

I’ve recently set GearPipe up on Twitter. If you’re a Twitter user, and want to check it out, here’s a link. Not only am I feeding the GearPipe posts through this account (so it can be an easy way to follow what’s going on here), but I’ll also add in the typical Twitter-esque comments (a lot of talk about what kind of coffee I’m drinking, etc…). Enjoy!

Although I launched GearPipe.com less than two weeks ago, the initial response has been great. It seems that my hunch was right: The musician community was lacking a good resource for finding discounts on musical instruments.

Now that I have this rolling, I’m introducing a new feature: The BiblioPipe Music Media Library. Through special arrangement with Amazon.com, I’ve been able to set up a complete online book and DVD store on GearPipe.com, with only the products I choose.

Browsing on Amazon can be daunting, due to the tens of thousands of titles. I’ve handpicked (yes….it did take quite a while) a few thousand titles that are relevant to musicians. I think you’ll find this is a much better way to find the books and DVDs you’re looking for.

Also, I’ve set up some specialty sections that you won’t find anywhere else. For instance, there is an entire category of rock ‘n’ roll movies. One section is full of nearly 100 titles that were pictured in the linear notes of Rage Against The Machine’s Evil Empire album. Check it out….there’s much more.

Here’s the best part! You can shop on our site and load up your shopping cart, but when you’re ready to check out, you’ll be redirected to Amazon.com. This means that if you already have an Amazon account, you’re set to go. You’ll make all payments through their website and they’ll ship the product right to your door…just like if you shopped directly in their store.

Please take a second and visit BiblioPipe now, and let me know what I can do to improve the selection.
