Guitar World
Long-running guitar publication (print + web, part of Future plc) covering players, gear, and technique. Here it’s the publisher of the analog-vs-digital-pedals explainer — a consumer-facing gear outlet whose pedal/amp/guitar coverage is the guitar-facing counterpart to the synth/plugin news sites the spoke already tracks (synth-anatomy, synthtopia, bedroom-producers-blog). Introductory, editorially-driven gear journalism; a T3 default for its explainer pieces (accurate, but broad and unmeasured rather than a bench test).
