October 2017 - In This Issue:
Universal MIDI Converter from Sonuus

The G2M is "universal" because it doesn't need a special pick-up mounted on your guitar, but instead simply connects to your guitar like any other effects pedal or tuner. Designed to give accurate triggering, with very low-latency, it is a true plug-and-play solution for monophonic MIDI guitar. It can be used to sequence bass lines and guitar solos and add an edge to your live performances. See demo video

00255616 - MSRP $99.00/MAP $79.99
Guitar Volume Pedal from Sonuus

Voluum is a volume-based multi-effect stomp box with a digitally controlled high-fidelity pure-analogue signal chain. Constant high-voltage (>30V) analog power rails ensure high-headroom with low distortion and low noise for maximum signal clarity. A high-bandwidth fully-analog signal path ensures there is no digital distortion to corrupt your signal, and allows high dynamic range signals to be processed flawlessly. See introductory video

00255624 - MSRP $349.99/MAP $299.99
Analog Pedal for Guitar & Bass from Sonuus

The Wahoo combines two beautiful-sounding analog filters with digital control giving you full access to a sonic palette previously only available to skilled analog circuit designers. With one pedal you have an English wah sound, an American wah sound, and everything in between. You can even program the frequency response of the heel and the toe position. It's a phaser, envelope filter, a pitch-bend triggered wah, step filter, overdrive and much more. See demo video

from Hudson Music

In this book/online video package,  Victor reveals his musical soul. In Part 1, he outlines his ten essential elements of music, including such important and under-emphasized areas as emotion and feel, dynamics, tone, phrasing, space, and listening. In Part 2, Victor addresses the reader with personal lessons, using text, notation, tablature, and video footage to cover such key topics as warming up and hand-strengthening, tone, harmonics, thumb technique, tapping, looping, and soloing. 

00244617 - Book/Online Video - $29.99

With the introduction of the two-pickup 4001 model in 1961, the Rickenbacker bass became a phenomenon. The Beatles' use of Rickenbacker instruments was pivotal: teen groups everywhere wanted to have the same instruments the Beatles used so they could achieve the "right" sound. With its ultra-modern design that made the classic Fender precision bass look downright old-fashioned, the Rick quickly became a darling of progressive bands that loved its look as much as its different sound.
