The Premier Gear Award is an honor bestowed upon a piece of gear—whether guitar, amp, effect, or other gear— that has been extraordinary enough to impress the staff of Premier Guitar. Despite the high quality of all gear reviewed by Premier Guitar, only exemplary items earn the award.
“It’s definitely the heaviest pedal I have ever had the pleasure of plugging in to,” says reviewer Brian Barr. “The features of the Megalith are very interactive with each other, and depending on which way you turn each knob you can get a variety of different fuzzed-out and meaty tones. The Megalith is a must have for fuzz enthusiasts.”
“It is an honor to receive this award from Premier Guitar,” says Mountainking designer Alan Pavlica. “With such a massive amount of gear out there to choose from, the Premier Gear Award really helps the serious musician separate the exceptional from the mundane. The Megalith is one of the heaviest pieces in the Mountainking Electronics line of effect pedals, and like all Mountainking Electronics devices, it is designed to deliver a focused, commanding tone and is built solidly with high quality parts and components to help ensure years of reliability and heaviness.”
“We take the review process very seriously,” says managing editor Gabriel Hernandez. “We don’t have some guy sitting in a back room, waiting for a guitar or amp to come in the mail so he can look at it and write a few paragraphs about it. All of our reviewers are actual, very discerning musicians that take the instrument or gear and put it through its paces. They try to leave no stone unturned so that the reader can get a precise feel for whether the product will work for them or not. If you see a piece of gear in our magazine with the Premier Gear Award logo on it, that means we put it through a very rigorous test and it still blew us away!”
