In pictures: the best guitar gear of 2009
Essential instruments, amps and FX plus our hero of the year

As good as Line 6's M9 is, there's still a place in our hearts, and gigbags, for a pedal that drops jaws. It seems like Electro-Harmonix are releasing a genuinely great new product every couple of months - let's not forget the POG2 that we got our hands on back in June - but the Cathedral Stereo Reverb is the pick of the bunch.
Taking an effect that's often neglected by stompbox-builders, despite its place at the very heart of the rock 'n' roll sound, Electro-Harmonix have packed the Cathedral to the rafters with a wonderful range of 'verbs from the claustrophobic to the psychedelic. It even has a great delay mode too. What the hell did we do before it existed?

I wish that they sold thisLine 6 wireless system in the US... All the stuff we can get here looks like garbage and most of it isnt digital.

Had mine a week now - I'm blown away with it! The snob in me had assumed that a Mex Fender couldn't possibly be as well built as an American. I can tell no difference in terms of quality between this and the USA Teles I have owned in the past; it's absolutely spot on. The only slight niggle i have, is the toggle switch feels a bit flimsy to me compared to that of a Gibson. Small potatoes though, set against the huge ballsy sound, lovely chunky neck, great playability, great sustaining tone and gorgeous looks. Buy one immediately - it rocks like a moose!

Best guitar of the year - something mainly from the 70's. Best Bass - a 60's re-issue. What does this tell us something about the state of modern music when the best stuff around is a re-hash of the 60's + 70's?
