Outdoor fixed sound installations such as singing fountains and skating rinks are a challenge to maintain. The everyday fear of moisture getting inside loudspeaker cabinets is a major concern. Having a DYNACORD D12R and D12T installed will take those worries away.  

The young and soft-spoken Cetan Clawson recently stopped by Chicago for a show, and also to show off his pedalboard to us, the stomp-a-philes at GW. One of the items sharing space thereupon is the unmistakable Dallas Arbiter Fuzz Face, which stares up at him with its logo-composed grin whenever he wants a fuzzy tone.  

Back in our favorite basement (Schubas), Tony Lucca whips out his fine, black and orange signature pick from Dunlop, and wows our socks right off. You can play acoustic, you can play electric, you can even use your thumb. This flamin' wonder won't hold you back.  

Back in the basement at Schuba's, Tony Lucca must not think anyone is listening, because now he's talking about capos. He waxes nostalgic with Pat Ogle about how the things used to look like something from SAW V, but now you can use like five of them at once without any major malfunctions.  

If you want to know how Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett gets his killer wah-tone, here's your answer: the Dunlop KH95 Kirk Hammett Signature Crybaby. Funny, I always thought he just ran a Talk Box tube into Lars Ulrich's mouth (couldn't help myself).  

Turns out, even if your aim is to make non-traditional music, you're still going to want gear that sounds good in a more or less traditional sense. Is the Dunlop Crybaby up to Matt Sekel's standards? I guess the headline kinda gives that away, huh?  

Owen O'Malley, himself, tests out the Dunlop Jimi Hendrix Octave Fuzz based on the Roger Mayer pedal Hendrix was so fond of using. Owen also pairs the Octave Fuzz up with a Tube Screamer to show how you can really make the most out of this effect.  

The Dunlop MXR M-80 is both a passive DI and a nice lil' distortion unit . . . but wait, it also has a SECRET BUTTON. Add a cup holder, and it's pretty much all the gear your bassist will need. Michael Campbell of the Fervor tells us how he loves it.  

Owen O'Malley breaks out the Dunlop Fuzz Face, a fuzz distortion that sounds like its stereotypical player looks. Just add a wah pedal and a water pipe, and you can send yourself back in time, before all of the adverse memory effects kicked in.  

The new Dunlop Glass Moonshine Slide is a hybrid of the company's Pyrex and Ceramic slides that Jim spent the better part of a year mixin' up in a warshbin in his yard whilste the cyotes hollerd n' the missus slept sound, ne'er 'spectin' ole Jim was fixn' up a new batch a geetar slides n' you kin bet the farm a batch a trouble, too, 'n boy 'd the ole lady be steamin' if'n she knowed it, WHOO BOY!  

Any flash in the pan guitarist can have a signature model on the market, but it takes years to earn the respect on the ax to get your name on accessories. Kerry King joins Zakk Wylde as the namesake behind a new series of Dunlop strings.  

Check out this video on the Dunlop Rotovibe, an effects pedal that'll have you sounding like Jimi Hendrix or Eric Clapton in no time. Chops not included.  

Sick of feeling like MacGuyver when you're working on your guitar? Personally, I'd never get sick of feeling like MacGuyver, but the Dunlop Formula 65 Neck Cradle Maintenance System provides a much more stable way to work on your ax.  

Dunlop has announced a partnership with boutique pedal designers Way Huge Electronics. The two companies will be showing the fruits of their conjunction at Winter NAMM 2008.  

Despite any preconceived notions I might have had, using the Dunlop Eric Johnson Classic Jazz III Pick will not automatically bestow upon you the skill to shred through "Cliffs of Dover." I know because I tried. In other news, if anyone is in the market for a slightly used Dunlop Eric Johnson Classic Jazz III Pick, let me know.  

The lowly guitar pick is one of the most overlooked pieces of music gear. Yes, a great guitarist can use a chunk cut from a milk carton and sound good; but generally guitarists pick a certain pick and stay with it.
