Line 6 JTV and Paul Hindmarsh Embark On UK Tour!

September 28, 2011 Comments off

What’s your favourite superlative?  Like a rock star throwback from the 1980′s crossed with a Wayne Campbell (Mike Myers) wannabe: My favourite superlative has to be AWESOME!… I say it far more than any self respecting guitarist should, but much like my GAS (Gear acquisition Syndrome), it’s a hard habit to break.

On this occasion I am forced to make an exception, and only because AWESOME! just will not cover it.

Marshall Will Release Joe Satriani JVM410JS

September 26, 2011 1 comment

Well it’s not really new news, as the first report of Satch moving back to Marshall came from http://www.guitarnoize.com/joe-satriani-returns-to-marshall-amps/ in June 2009… But info has been around since January 2011 that Marshall is in fact about to release a Joe Satriani Signature version of the JVM410H at NAMM in January 2012.  Marshall are officially denying this at the moment via official retail channels… Which is a bit silly really!

POD HD Pro User Review – Which POD HD Is Best For You?

September 24, 2011 4 comments

 

Pro

What does ‘Pro’ really mean… yeah ok, you got me, of course it means Professional. But what does that word mean to you?  Does it mean a job.. A career.. Or perhaps a vocation?  When listening to your guitar heros (and playing air guitar to their uncommonly good chops) do you dream of a day when you too could be a guitar hero with others listening to you on their iPods, etc. Would you then consider yourself a Pro?

Line 6 POD HD Series Comparison Chart

September 24, 2011 Comments off

Choices.  It’s great to have them, but occasionally it’s not to easy to decide which choice is the right one.

Take the POD HD series of revolutionary amp modelers and multi-FX devices from Line 6.  There are 5 to choose from, and they’re all brimming with great features.

So to help you decide which one you want to buy, and which one will fit any requirements you have, I’ve gathered information from several different sources on Line 6′s website, and collated it into one single document.

Check out the comparison document here: http://rowbinet.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/pod-hd-series-comparison.pdf

Upgrade To Propellerhead Reason 6 for $1/1EURO (or more)

September 21, 2011 Comments off

Nope you didn’t read this wrong… If you already own any version of Reason AND any version of Record.  Then from 30th September to 31st August 2011 you can pay what you want for the upgrade to Reason 6 (although there’s a minimum of $1/1EURO).

There’s no catch at all, and the only thing is it’s only a downloadable license (i.e. you get no boxed product), but it’s a full version of the license with no catches.

Line 6 Announce POD HD Pro Rack Processor

September 16, 2011 Comments off

The mothership has landed, and what an impressive mothership it is!

The latest Line 6 multi-FX and amp modeler to be branded with the POD HD moniker is the all new POD HD Pro.  It’s similar to the rest of the POD HD family and still boasts 22 amazingly detailed amp models, 16 cab models, 8 mic models, and over 100 high quality M-Series FX.  The easy to use interface will be familiar to you if you’ve used a POD HD500 or HD bean, but simple to work out if you’re new to the POD HD line or amp modelers in general.  Obviously the Pro model has some extra features which will certainly appeal more to studio users as well as those of us who like to keep our gear in a rack at the back of the stage and control it with an FBV Shortboard front of stage.
