The new Martin Ed Sheeran Signature Travel Guitar Has Arrived at Pricebeat Music
Posted on 3rd Dec 2013 @ 6:13 PM
The Martin Ed Sheeran Custom LX1E Acoustic Electric Guitar with Gig Bag
What happens when you take one the world's most respected guitar companies and mix it with one of the world's most popular contemporary musicians? The much anticipated LX1E Ed Sheeran Signature Model acoustic electric guitar. Our first shipment of this limited edition guitar has arrived from the Martin Guitar Company just in time for the holidays.They arrived already setup right out of the box and include a high quality Martin guitar backpack gig bag. The signature cross emblems denote the fact that a portion of the proceeds from the sale of this guitar will benefit the East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices (www.each.org.uk).
Our initial play testing of this is extremely encouraging...this is a serious musical instrument with good looks to match. The sound is full and complex as with other Martin guitars and the size and weight make it the perfect go to instrument for travel, practice or just convenience. The non-glossy finish resists scratches and fingerprints so your Martin Custom LKX1E should look great for years to come. Fishman Isys T electronics and SP Lifespan Martin strings round out the instrument and the included gig bag makes carrying this little gem a breeze.
Buy one now while they are available here.

Transfer of Bob Moog Archives Leads to Controversy
Ms. Moog-Koussa who is the founder of the Boob Moog Foundation had this to say: "The Moog Family is saddened and surprised not to be part of the discussion to move our father’s archives away from the organization where they would receive the most well-rounded care, and away from the area where the Bob Moog Foundation, Moog Music, and Moogfest are located."

Guitarists...I'm Feeling Loopy. Have You Seen My Ditto?
No, it's not a trick question...it's the new Ditto Looper guitar pedal from TC Electronic.

Connect a 9 volt power supply and you're ready to rock.The Ditto Looper is perfect for songwriters, solo musicians and anyone
who just wants to spark some creativity. Short on space? No problem.

in your pocket, case, pedal board or gig bag with no problem. If you're
looking for a simple way to add sound-on-sound looped layers for less money than a wild night on the town then this gadget is a no-brainer. List Price: $177

Pigtronix introduces Quantum Time Modulator pedal for Winter NAMM 2013
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Pigtronix introduces Quantum Time Modulator pedal for Winter NAMM 2013.
Pigtronix Quantum Time Modulator produces a parallel universe of analog time stretching effects with only three knobs and a single switch. Reflecting the fundamental principals of modern atomic physics in pedal form, the Pigtronix Quantum can be in any number of places at once and will change in response to both input and observation.
Pigtronix Quantum utilizes multiple bucket brigade delay lines with independent clocks modulated by a continuous blend of envelope and LFO sources. The corresponding sensitivity, speed and source controls are augmented by a Chorus / Vibe switch which allows the user to choose between pure effect or a mix of clean signal and modulated audio. This eminently flexible, yet easy to use configuration, combined with a TRS stereo output provides numerous sound field configurations for mono, true stereo, wet / dry and wet / dry / wet rigs.
Going well beyond the event horizon of existing modulation pedals, the Pigtronix Quantum slams the classic tones of complex rack units such as the Zappa's MicMix DynaFlanger, Lifeson's TC 1210 Spatial Expander & the venerable Roland Dimension D into a tiny and affordable analog stompbox while also blazing new territory that provides a musical analogy to the essential nature of reality itself. Come experience the Quantum Time Modulator for yourself at NAMM Booth 5218.
