My friends at Perfect Circuit sent me this lil beast to try out, and I think I’m in love. While there was definitely a learning curve, it wasn’t nearly as bad as I expected, thanks in no small part to the 64 preset patches.
Does the @Taylor Guitars AD27e Flametop sound as good as it looks? Find out as I test it mic’d up and with the pickup.
During the 200th episode of @Get Offset, Emily and @Joan of Heart asked you to send in some of your favorite memories from the past (almost) four years! Featuring notes from @MatthewsEffects, @Hondo Felder Music, @Working Class Music, @60 Cycle Hum, @TunaTone Instruments, @The Timber Owls Band and more!
Live streaming when you have a few different audio sources has traditionally been…a little tricky, to say the least. The @PreSonus Audio Electronics Revelator IO24 aims to make it easy to gain control of your stream’s audio, including two inputs (e.g., guitar and vocals) and three completely separated virtual channels. Watch to learn how to set up the #RevelatorIO24 and see what I think.
D’Addario is famous for their guitar strings—they’ve literally been making strings for centuries—but don’t sleep on their accessories. They make solutions for musicians, by musicians. That’s clear in their super smart Backline Transport Pack, the XPND pedal boards and more. Here are a few of my favorite products of theirs.
This week Emily and Joan talk about the lack of women on festival bills, working in live music/the studio/the industry as a whole, and the organizations aiming to change that. Hat tip to Kristiana London.
The SurfyTrem Deluxe by @Surfy Industries is a stereo in/stereo out tremolo pedal with two famed tremolo modes. Brown is based on the rich harmonic tremolo found on channel two of brown panel Showman amps from 1961-62 and the Black mode is an amplitude modulation tremolo based on black panel amps from 1965 and later.
The recently announced @Ernie Ball Music Man Cutlass HT takes what you already know and love about the #Cutlass guitar and applies their new SSS heat treated pickups. Expect a spanky bridge and more traditional, underwound middle and neck. Plus, the middle/neck position is dead quiet, even in a high gain environment.
What. A. Week. The guitar industry had a healthy dose of drama and gossip last week, mainly surrounding reported layoffs at Fender and a surprise move by Dean following Gibson’s lawsuits. Plus, Joan talks about her MAW demo finally being released and Emily chats about a recent gig.
