A quick jam on the EP–133, this little sampler is way too much fun! This idea turned into a full-on mood once the Polyend MESS got involved. Dreamy, glitchy, and way too exciting to stop playing with.

We put the Blackstar IDX100 head-to-head with the Boss Katana 100, using identical mics, guitars, and settings for a fair comparison. Both amps are portable 100W powerhouses with onboard effects, recording options, and plenty of tone-shaping controls — but which one takes the crown?

🎸 Watch the full shootout and tell us which one you’d gig with!

APRA AMCOS has reported record-breaking revenue of $787.9 million for the 2025 financial year – a 6.5% increase from last year – marking the highest earnings ever for Australian and New Zealand songwriters, composers, and publishers. With streaming now accounting for over half of all revenue and international royalties continuing to surge, it’s clear that music consumption is thriving. But as more creators enter the scene thanks to increasingly accessible gear and production tools, the question shifts from how music is made to how it’s discovered and valued in the digital age.
