2004 Epiphone Explorer Review/Demo

August 17, 2023adamthomasmusic Leave a comment

As Epiphone are celebrating their 150th year of making instruments, what a great time for me to show off this 2004 Epiphone Explorer!

The Explorer is a model of guitar introduced in 1958 by Gibson. Later on after using Epiphone to produce more budget friendly versions of Gibson guitars, the Explorer was added to Epiphone’s roster of guitars.

This particular Explorer from 2004 has an interesting story behind it too!

When April rolls around, so does the new 23.04 version of Ubuntu Studio!

Ubuntu Studio is a GNU/Linux distribution created for creatives, including; Musicians, Video Creators, Graphic Designers, Authors, Photographers and Artists, as well as other digital creators. It bases itself on Ubuntu which itself is based on the rock solid Debian.

Here are my initial thoughts on the latest version of the distribution 23.04 ‘Lunar Lobster’, as well as a quick tour of the desktop and some of its programs.

Building My Dream Pedalboard | I Can’t Believe It’s Finally Done!

February 13, 2023adamthomasmusic Leave a comment

Well it’s taken about 11 or 12 years but here I am finally completing and perfecting my pedalboard!

Join me as I dismantle the board how it has been for a while, clean it all up then add the final pedals to it to create my ultimate pedal board. This is my main (only) board that I use for gigging, recording and general guitar playing.

I mostly play Rock and Metal, but can easily adapt these pedals to play pretty much any style, so I see this is an all rounder pedalboard.
