How We Test Gear
Pretty simple. Over the course of the past 25+ years, our team has extensive experience with thousands of items related to guitars – from amps to pedals, as well as recording equipment and software.
Our reviews are based on real-world experience, meaning actual road-testing, either in a gig-environment, on the road, or inside our dedicated testing lab. We only ever recommend gear that we love, use, and regularly abuse.
And we NEVER do sponsored posts. We give it to you straight.
Everything you read about on ELECTRIKJAM has been vetted and approved by our team. If we recommend that you buy a product, we do so because we believe it is 100% worth your time. If something is junk, we call it out!
How We Make Money
Like most blogs, we use a combination of ads and affiliate links. As stated above, all of the products we feature are rigorously tested and vetted extensively – in some cases up to six to seven months.
Our writers do not know who we work with (affiliate networks), so all content is written without any bias for one particular network. All affiliate links are added after the fact which ensures anything that is recommended has been properly reviewed and vetted by our team of expert reviewers.
This way of doing things means there is no pressure from manufacturers to create “positive reviews” and it also does away with the possibly of “paid-for” reviews – something we never do, and positively hate!
If you buy something that we recommend, we get a small commission from the retailer. This commission is how we fund the site, pay our writers, cover our bills, and, generally speaking, make ends meet. It’s what make ELECTRIKJAM possible. Without it, well… we would not exist.
Why am I telling you all of this? Simple: I want you to know exactly how ELECTRIKJAM works. I want you to know that unlike some blogs and sites, we’re not just some blog that shills out affiliate posts. This is not an advertisement site. We are real people that love great gear.
We care about what we do. And we want to help; that’s the entire point of ELECTRIKJAM – spread knowledge, show beginner players what gear they should get, and help save money by making educated buying decisions.
Keep Shredding,
