Donner Telecaster DTC-100 The ULTIMATE Cheap Guitar!!!
I picked myself up a cheap Donner Telecaster DTC-100. Like really cheap, this one at the time of purchase was $159 on Amazon. (Check my link) I have done a few of these cheap guitar videos. And most of them have been the same story, poor build quality, terrible pickups, the rest of the hardware and build suspect. This one however was different in a lot of the categories. I'm convinced you won't find a guitar in this price range with good pickups, it honestly would shock me if you did. It really seems to me that's where the line [...]
Elgato Key Light Review
What up GearZombie fam, I wanted some new lights for my studio. Everything I have is bulky, or old, or not very configurable and I was on the hunt for something different. My desires were affordable, adjustable, configurable and hopefully remote controllable if I could get it. In comes the Elgato Key Light. This thing pretty much checks all the boxes and does everything I would want. I can just bolt this to the edge of my desk, angle it and place it where I want and then control everything including brightness and color temp right from the app on [...]
How To Start A Podcast 2021
What Up Friends! Talk about podcasting just one time 😉 I get a ton of questions on how to launch your own podcast which IMO is kind of a loaded question. There are many different angles you can take when starting and I want to try to break it down for everyone. This article is going to be a some what abbreviated version of what I have in my video but I want to give you some points should you not want to watch. Also this is sort of a high level overview of what to consider. I don't cover [...]
Line 6 Helix PV Soldano Slo-100 Patch Build Firmware 3.01
What Up!! I picked up a new Ibanez and it gave me an 80's vibe... I don't know why considering all of the floating trem Ibanez's I actually own, some of which are actually from the 80's. Maybe it was the DiMarzio Tone Zone/Air Norton combo. Who knows. But either way. Here is another patch I dialed in for my fellow patch pals. Check it out and do with it what you wish. I'm going to store all these on Gearzombie.com/patches as it continues to grow but this patch is below. Leave me a comment if you wish and please [...]
Best Budget Interface of 2021 Audient Evo Review
One thing that is good and maybe bad about moving into the future is all the cool things that we wanted have become better and affordable. In some cases even just cheap. And not in the just "cheap junk" meaning (although there is a lot of that) but cool tech stuff just doesn't cost much. The Audient Evo series of computer audio interfaces is a perfect example of one of those types of things. I remember when I first got heavy into recording right around the year 2000 I ended up buying my first real interface. It was an Egosys [...]
An IceBreaker!
So, I'm working on setting up a nice lil blog with wordpress. I thought this would be a good easy way for me to put together a quick functional site in sort of a wysiwyg sort of editor. Since web development isn't really my bag of tricks this appeared to be a good solution. I almost wish I would have just started building a site myself. Now I'm trying to learn wordpress and build my site. Just not enough hours in the day. Anyway, sooner or later this will be done and it will be a nifty resource for all [...]
