In this video, we determine the winners across every major category, including the most hyped releases, the best budget pedals, the top working-musician guitars, and the coveted Golden Geek Award for the absolute best product of the year.
We also tackle the controversial "Fail of the Year" and discuss which gear was simply "Pointless".
Recorded with a Lewitt 440DM through the Orange PPC212 with Celestion Vintage 30 speakers and combined with a Celestion 212 setting on a Captor X for the most accurate representation of what i heard in the room.
