Brave Echidna Attacks Military. Nope.

Bread Eventually Attracts Mould. Nope.

Bear Escapes Art Museum. Nuh-uh.

Breakfast Eats A Man. Couldn't be.

Bass. Electric. Acoustic. Media.      Sounds right? You're damn right it does.

The BlackStar Amplification's ID CORE: BEAM is the Swiss Army Knife of guitar amps.

It's loaded with weaponry and equipment to cope with any conceivable situation

What ho, old bean?

Why, do my peppery peepers deceive me, or has yonder amplification doodad turned an attractive and revitalising vintage sepia tone?

Believe you me, for this is no collection of flapdoodle and fiddle-faddle, but a hotsy-totsy choice bit of calico with which to grace the musical stages and halls of the ages.

Do yourselves the indulgence of getting out of your petting pantries and spend a few wooden pennies on the investment of a lifetime!

NAMM Show 2018 has given us another huge shakeup to the guitarist’s landscape, with Fender (a brand you may have heard of dominating the electric guitar scene, and shaping rock, blues, and all other contemporary music as we know it), with THAT fender, releasing a serious, and professional range of guitar pedals covering all the most important food groups:

These all are built to a quality and standard that does an already-legendary brand proud, and are destined to become an irreplaceable part of every guitarist’s collection.

Headrush are not slowing down for one second, and are following up the hugely successful release of it’s all-in-one pedalboard last year with the announcement and impending released of a speaker that is specifically designed to be the perfect choice to run it through, or to run  any other amp modeller or multi-FX!

The FRFR-112 is a powered speaker cabinet with a massive 2000 watts of output power, and is touted as a ‘Full Range, Flat Response” speaker - this has been carefully, and painstakingly built to give you as exact a replication of your sound as it’s possible to get. No amp colour, no flavour, no change at all.

Roli have just released their new ‘Lightpad M’ block, and it’s a huge evolution on the previous models, that were already exciting and innovative already - the board is more touch-sensitive, allowing things like drumming and performance to be a lot more intuitive and clean, the lighting system is significantly brighter, enough for easy use in daylight or well-lit situations, and the touch pad is not only easier to track, with its improved grid system and subtle tactile cues, but also has, well, improved squishiness, allowing a sense of physical dynamic to your performance, too!

Couple this with the improvements to the NOISE software, the constant expanding sound packs, DAW compatibility, and more, and this is the cresting wave of the next generation of sound and DJ performance and production!

Fender have finally released their fourth series of the legendary Hot Rod amplifiers, and there’s already plenty to be gossiping about!

The Hot Rod series (15w Blues Junior, 15w Pro Junior, 40w Deluxe, and 60w DeVille) have long been renowned as THE gigging musicians amp, and that’s no exaggeration. If you’re a working musician, you already have these amps. And if you’re not, you’re either saving up for one, or wondering which amp will give you “that” sound in your head.

Do your research, and try as many brands out as you possibly can. But then try out a Fender Blues Junior, or a Hot Rod Deluxe, and you’ll have that wonderful warm feeling of realising that it was exactly what you’d been looking for all along.
