Bass Amplifiers : With 3 effects you can add to each amp chorus, filter, and octaver. You can also have up to 4 presets saved into it. I also like the fact that it has a built in tuner.

Guitar Effects : It is very easy to navigate and edit the presets, the display is large, bright and easy to read on a dark stage. This covers ALL my tones and FX needs.

by John Crowell • February 2012 Is there anything more fetishistic in music these days than the adoration of analog technology? Perhaps it’s been the proliferation of countless digital versions of classic equipment — computerized two-dimensional representations of historic electronics sealed behind a laptop screen — that leave us itching for the hulking, wood-paneled, chilled metal, softly humming real things. An artist who has an affinity for true analog synthesis is, whether intended or not, often seen as staking a claim in a technological and philosophical debate raging in the sound synthesis and recording world: digital vs. analog. It’s classic niche-market ...

"You can almost smell the pot coming out of the speakers" is the description used for a Youtube video of Terry Riley ’s landmark composition In C . Both humorous and honest, that single sentence sums up most of Riley’s aural effect. Either free time, pseudo-improvised pieces based around just intonation and a split between glacial drones and rapidly repeating riffs and arpeggios or rigidly measured units of melodic phrase are Riley’s main MO as any listener of the man’s work can attest to. Enveloping and arresting, the effect either results in total immersion or furious refusal, the ...

While we're all aware of her previous as Lizzy Grant; of father Robert's rep as a millionaire wheeler dealer hellbent on 'lil Lizzy/ Lana's musical success and subsequent ubiquity; of one of the better 'pop' releases of 2011 in Video Games there is, as with any enigma wrapped up in impenetrable blankets of industry dollar, mystery to all this madness. For once however, on the day of the release of Lana Del Rey's long-awaited debut long-player, let's insist on its musical worth in place of Hipster Runoff sideshows and the dissension engendered by whether or ...

LennarDigital's Sylenth1 VSTi is one of the most popular virtual analog synthesizers on the market. It's been used in tracks across the spectrum of electronic music from creating Booka Shade 's gooey lead line in " In White Rooms " to Sun Decade 's trance saw in " Follow You ." But if it's your first foray into the wide world of audio synthesis it can be frustrating coining your distinctive sound. Luckily Hy2rogen has come to the rescue and provided an extensive library of presets for this powerful synthesizer that you can use right out of the box or reference ...

Guitar Effects : This pedal is a must have for Peavey Vypyr products! It gives you access to the looper and 400 presets that you can edit. The pedal is only as versatile as the amp it, because it just allows you to access the effects in the amp, by foot-switch.

Yes, 'now' really was back in July, but since I haven't been paying attention to one of my favorite artists lately, they slipped right past the lighthouse. These guys are always a hoot and this album is full of happiness. 'Unite Us' is somewhere between doing cartwheels on the 4th of July at night and exchanging smiles with your best friend at a wedding. It should be no surprise that 'Unite Us' could feel a little like ' Come Together ', and since I'm smitten by the smiles I really don't care as I'm sailing in these fellows ...

1982-1988: Parade Ground - The Golden Years by Gumshoe on 12-07-2011 There’s nothing better than receiving a record and finding that more research is needed. I like to be pushed, and Dark Entries ’ output has been shoving me around like kids used to on Idaho’s finest playgrounds. Hell, I might even start delving into those old Level 242 LPs I got from COUG radio’s downsizing. And that super-old, dance-era Ministry stuff? BACK IN THE FOLD, friendo! Those choice latter Talk Talk LPs? Let’s… let’s just not go there, for now, okay? Hearing a record like Parade ...

Kinda digging this new gang of London boys, performing under the name Spector. The five-some has a sound similar to the Presets and The Strokes. Their EP is not available in the US yet, but check out their single “Grey Shirt & Tie” below!
