Hi all

I wrote a review for HC reviews a while back and haven't seen or heard of it since...trying to email them with the links provided keeps coming up URL error and even the webmaster link for them isn't working......i know they were getting a lot of bad feedback from members on the recent upgrade to 'beta' whatever that is...all i know is there doesn't seem to have been a product review published since late 2009... anyone know whats going on....?....

I heard a rumour a while back the the guy from fulltone told them to pull the reviews of his products as some of his stuff was getting horrible reviews...i think he felt it was competitors trying to bad mouth him and do him out of business...i read one of the reviews for his choralflange pedal which wasn't about the sound( the guy actually said it was great soundwise) but about the fact it wouldn't work and wasn't relibable..! and when contacted fulltone were less than helpful in rectifing the problem...so unless HC were getting too many complaints from maufacturers about bad reviews.... all i know is that the top 50 'latest reviews' haven't changed since december....

Thats pretty pathetic if true tbh. And your right as far as effects reviews go the latest one seem to be:

http://reviews.harmony-central.com/reviews/Effects/product/Dynacord/CLS-222+Leslie+Simulator/10/1

Shame... I posted a rather cynical review of the Wh4 I wanted published

Just on an OT for a moment ..i have the dynacord CLS-22(the model just previous to this one) and it really is a very good sounding unit and can still be got quite reasonable on Ebay..


Yep Zerks has a point ..HC was bought out a while back by some company until now i didn't realise it was a big guitar chain...sorta a conflict of interest if you ask me a major shop owning HC...

i bought a guitar from GC and the label said musicans friend warehouse. if you look at the layout of all them sites it's the exact same layout.try using a finding lefty guitar.go guitar acoustic or electric then you see left handed. smaller slection but pretty easy to find the simularities. but big conflict of intrest to have big guitar chain hold major stake in a review site. with links to but products like muscians friend

notice the first review of that capo, he says how great it is for classical guitar, then at the end it says his style is punk rock.

i have never ever seen a punk rocker touch a capo.

Yeah, Social D is def punk! Green Day and Offspring seem influenced. But SD never played by the rules, most of their songs have a guitar lead!
