 | Pagelli Louis Christ Acoustic Guitarfrom Guitar NoizeThis is one of those guitars we could look at all day and still not be sure whether it is beautiful or just crazy. It is crafted to resemble the shape of a woman''s body. Check out Pagelli''s site for other unique acoustics -- we like the "Wallpaper." |
 | Instruments from Car Partsfrom Courier Mail (Australia)Apparently Ford is really into music right now (see their most recent Fender partnership). They''ve disassembled a Ford Focus and made 31 instruments out of its parts, including a guitar made from the clutch. Looks like this one will be airing across the pond, but chances are it will show up on eBay eventually. |

A warm, analog optical compression designed to offer plenty of sustain, attack, and release that can be blended in to taste.
In the Spanish language, Mira is a command that translates to look, see, and call attention to and today Walrus Audio is bringing attention to their newest pedal offering, the Mira Optical Compressor. Starting with the bonus features: Walrus decided to also provide a push-button High Pass Filter in the side-chain (the part of the circuit that controls the optical element in the compressor). This is designed for preventing bass frequencies 120Hz or below from engaging the compressor as much as higher frequencies. The keen result of this keeps the compressor from overworking on lower notes and is great for bass guitar or keeping low-frequency dynamics dramatic for guitar players.
The Mira is a true bypass optical compressor offering studio-grade sound sculpting and sustain packed with controls you’d normally only find on studio units. Mira also offers in-depth control over Attack, Release, Ratio, and a Make-Up knob to help maintain unity levels after your signal has been compressed. Use the Blend knob to mix in your compressed sound with your clean tone to maintain note clarity while offering increased sustain.
