I recently went to buy a Pignose for my Tele Deluxe for home/portable use. I ended up with the Pignose Hog 30 Amp instead. It has an 8″ speaker and a 30W amp. Funk Bass switch for extra punch and depth. Also features volume and master volume controls as well as a 3-band EQ. I like it a lot (for what it is), but it depends on the sound your after. They are also very affordable pignose amps. It doesn’t do Fender clean, but then neither do the ‘Noses that I’ve heard. If the Fender sound is your thing, try the Fender Pro Jr.

I use ozone 4 and it is very easy to use. It is worth every penny. I am planning to upgrade to Izotope Ozone 5. I understand they made improvements in a lot of their algorithms. The user interface is also upgraded with a little more felxibilty. Again very easy to use. I am not a trained master mixer but learned a lot be just taking a wave and going trough to see what each plugin does. Just play with it, the learning curve is very easy and again worth every penny. You will be surprised how you can take a mediocre recording and turn it into something special.

You’re in for a treat if you are going to use an AC30. I believe Mike Blumfield played Les Paul into a AC30. Peter Green is another one. Pedals will become more important than with a single coil cause in my opinon its going to be more picky. Its gonna be some dark and some hairy…all good things. I play mostly through my neck pickup with the tone rolled all the way up and the volume at about 8 (leaving a little room to roll it up the rest when wanted.) My lead or bridge pickup with the tone rolled almost all the way down. The volume I roll almost all the way up, to equal the neck pickup or I roll the volume all the way off to move the switch selector back and forth as a strobe kinda deal (only end one song a set like this, or your gonna look like a douche.) Ac30 and a Paul is awesome in my opinion. If you have gear like your favorite artist all you will ever do is sound like someone who is already getting the credit for that sound. (Cept me, in cover bands..when I get to play, cause that’s sometimes the point). Visit the link to shop vox ac30

A lot of people love to sing. They sing in karaokes, in parties and even at home. Some have their own mini karaoke systems at home and are able to sing their favorites songs any time. To make the voice even more natural, a microphone like the Shure SM57 at Music123 is used. It can be really fun hearing yourself sing like a professional.

Though many people like playing the piano or the guitar, there are also those who like to play other instruments like the violin, flute or clarinet. They all have a certain sound that distinguishes them from other instruments. Someone who is interested in musical instruments can be given gifts like trombones or Yamaha clarinets at wwbw. If they are interested in a certain instrument, it will surely be a great gift for them and you would immediately hear them trying to play it.

Not all guitar players are good at tuning their guitars. They sometimes have their guitars tuned by somebody else or by the dealer. It takes a good ear to tune a guitar and sometimes when in a crowded place, it’s not so easy tuning the guitar. Though guitar players practice also tuning their own guitars, a lot buy guitar tuner for easier and faster tuning especially when in events and concerts. There are just some times when these tuners are needed because of time constraints and it is also a big help for those who have not yet learned how to tune their guitars properly.
