That’s Steve Vai — master sonic artist in his own right — setting the stage for Pedal Crush, a new 376-page hardcover coffee-table book by authors Kim Bjørn (Patch & Tweak with Moog, Push Turn Move) and Scott Harper (of YouTube demo channel Knobs) that explores the joyful mysteries of stompbox effects.

BORN FOR THE ONE THING
Joe Duplantier details the themes, tones and influences that led to Fortitude, GOJIRA’s cinematic, hard-hitting and uplifting new album (plus songcraft, Death, Whammy pedals and that fine-looking mahogany Charvel...)

generation of young headbangers, GOJIRA are the new titans of groove metal: progressive, heavy-hitting riff giants continuing in the lineage of Metallica, Sepultura, Pantera, Lamb of God and others. And just like the six-string legends that preceded them — Hetfield, Cavalera, Dimebag and more — central to the French band’s success is a modern metal rhythm guitar hero:  Joe Duplantier. But good luck approaching him with that kind of praise
