3rd Power British Dream
3rd Power's handwired, all-tube British Dream 1x12 45-watt combo offers two channels—one inspired by a ’59 Vox AC30, the other by a ’68 plexi Marshall—and a half-power switch. The amp’s 12" Celestion Alnico Gold is housed in 3rd Power’s proprietary Switchback triangular enclosure. The British Dream has an MSRP of $2899.

The latest offering from AmpTweaker is the TightMetal—a high-gain distortion box for players seeking ultra-saturated tones. Like other TightDrive pedals, the TightMetal sports an effects loop and a Pre/Post switch. Other features include a Mid EQ thrash switch and Gate with Chomp switch.

Tech 21 RotoChoir
Tech 21's RotoChoir emulates the entire signal chain of a mic’d Leslie cabinet, from the tube power amp to the low-frequency speaker and high-frequency horn to the XY stereo-mic setup. The pedal’s Fast/Slow switch lets you slow down, ramp up, or even pause the simulated rotary speaker in a variety of positions. The RotoChoir has a buffered bypass, a Bi-Amp switch, a Drive control, and stereo outputs. MSRP $295.

on 01/14/2011 		The Godin 5th Avenue Jazz quite obviously has a mini humbucker in the NECK position, not in the bridge position, as stated in your article. You guys get paid to do this for a living, right?

on 01/14/2011 		Let us know if any new camcorders are available to compete with the Zoom Q3HD? Two features absolutely required are 1) a screen on the front (and back?) of the camcorder so you can see yourself when videoing yourself; and 2) a Line In connector (the Q3HD has this feature) so external mics/mixers can input audio signal vs. using the camcorders mic.
Steve M
on 01/14/2011 		Am I to believe that NO ONE on your staff chose the new Line 6, James Tyler Variax guitar line as a standout (IMHO revolutionary) product? Maybe for Day #2?
Barry Morse
on 01/14/2011 		I can't wait to play the Boostassio a pedal with an EF86 whoa...
