New guitar gear of the month: review round-up (April 2019)
Guitars and pedals aplenty

Electro-Harmonix Grand Canyon
If it's a new guitar or pedal you're looking for, you've come to the right place, as we've been testing loads of both recently.
Let's have a look back at all the guitar gear reviewed on MusicRadar in the month of March.
We start with Grand Canyon from Electro-Harmonix.
MusicRadar's verdict:
“This is a very practical delay and looper; the £100 more than the basic Canyon is money well spent, unless you must have something with a smaller footprint.”
4 out of 5

Ibanez AE255BT
MusicRadar's verdict:
"For a smidge under £600, you’re getting a superbly made instrument that is so much more than just another acoustic guitar.”

MusicRadar's verdict:
"A visually striking acoustic that offers a decent performance, but not one that sets it apart from the competition at this price.”
