Vola Guitars Releases the OZ RV TNC Model

Vola Guitars Releases the OZ RV TNC Model

An all-new model loaded with high-end specs, a light-weight mahogany body, and unique pickup positioning.


This brand-new Oz model, the OZ TNC, has a light-weight mahogany body and a flame maple top comes in three gorgeous color options: Light Tiger Eye Burst, Sapphire Blue Gloss, and Tribal Black Gloss. In addition to the new look, Vola designed a unique pickup positioning known as the Fanned Pickup Layout. This new design increases the response from the treble strings and gives the player more control over the low-end strings.

Vola added a push/pull volume control for the neck pickup, a tone knob that can push/pull to coil-tap for front & rear pickup, a versatile 5-way switch, and a ā€œblowerā€ switch, which allows the player to bypass the volume & tone controls.

Vox’s Valvenergy Tone Sculptor

Two new pedals from the Valvenergy series use a Nutube valve to generate unique dynamics and tone ranges that can be used to radical ends.

When tracking in a studio or DAW, you’re likely to use compression and EQ on most things. Many enduringly amazing and powerful records were made using little else. And though many musicians regard both effects as a bit unglamorous and utilitarian, EQs and comps are as capable of radical sounds as more overtly ā€œweirdā€ effects—particularly when they are used in tandem.

Boss streamlines the size, features, and price of the already excellent Waza Tube Expander with little sacrifice in functionality.

Many of our younger selves would struggle to understand the urge—indeed, the need—to play quieter. My first real confrontation with this ever-more-present reality arrived when Covid came to town. For many months, I could only sneak into my studio space late at night to jam or review anything loud. Ultimately, the thing that made it possible to create and do my job in my little apartment was a reactive load box (in this case, a Universal Audio OX). I set up a Bassman head next to my desk and, with the help of the OX, did the work of a gear editor as well as recorded several very cathartic heavy jams, with the Bassman up to 10, that left my neighbors none the wiser.
