Biggest Ever Audio Mixing Contest is ON!
Clip-on tuners work by sensing the vibration in a stringed insrument, and displaying the frequency of that vibration as a musical note. Clip-on tuners have been around several years, but never fully caught on with guitar players until recently. This was largely due to the inaccuracy of the available models. Players were simply content to stick w...
The big question, does a $54 cable sound different than a $15 cable? The unexpected answer is hell yeah! I never in a million years expected to hear what I did when trying the Mogami Gold Instrument cable. A buddy of mine picked this up because he had credit at GC so he figured why not try it. Boy am I glad he did. We were both blown away by...
Ok so what can you say about a Metronome, it should keep time and have a good range of speeds, this one does that from 40 to 208BPM. Instruction manual is very good and explains the features in enough detail to understand. It looks good and appears to be built pretty well for what it is. It also has a beat tap feature to get the tempo just wh...
Every musician no matter what you play needs to be sure they are in tune. There are many choices available to us on the market but none come close to the usefulness of this little gadget. The Snark chromatic all instrument tuner should have a home in everyone’s gig bag. This little wonder can tune in two ways. The more traditional method of ...
One of if not, the most popularized attenuators out there to date. Plug it in properly and you'll be able to crank the snot out of your tube amp and control the overall volume level with the hotplate. This enables you to of course get that great tube saturation at bedroom levels. It's a very simple to use device and doesn't require much, it's re...
The Boss DB-90 Dr. Beat is an in depth metronome. I don’t know if this is something that they are still making or not. Even though most people are going to be using a click in the box, it can be beneficial to have something not on your computer, especially if you are using tape at all, which is the setting in which I’ve used the DB-90. For co...
This is an high quality metronome, most likely designed for use with piano though it could also be used with other acoustic instruments. Due to its design, I would assume that most people would like to place it atop their piano, as it has a classic, elegant look. The way that it functions is similar to the metronomes of old. The virtual pendulum...
The Kyser banjo/mandolin capo is basically just a shrunk down version of their popular guitar capo. I’ve used their guitar capos for several years so when I decided to pick up one for my mandolin it was a no brainer. I’ve used strap on elastic capos in the past and they either fit too loosely and don’t hold the strings down leading to fret buz...
The Kyser Banjo/Mandolin Capo is a mini version of Kyser's popular guitar capo, obviously designed specifically for mandolin and banjo. I've only used this capo for mandolin, although I don't own one. I usually just use my guitar capo for my mandolin and banjo at home, but this of course is a better choice for these applications due to the siz...
The K&M Heavy Duty folding music stand is definitely one of the best out of all of the folding stands out there. But hey, what else do you expect from a stand made in Germany? I have the Silver model, and while it's not as professional looking as the black version, it still looks very nice. Adjustments are made via big thumbscrews, and once you ...
