 | David Gilmour Strat On Its Wayfrom GPGGFinally, the rumors have been substantiated. David Gilmour''s official website broke the news of his "Black Strat" Custom Shop instrument, with further details coming from Dolphin Music''s Guitar Player Gear Guide blog. We''re in for a regular version and a relic''ed version -- and apparently neither will be so limited that only the President and the Pope can get one. Yippee! |
 | Cream Reuniting Againfrom Contact MusicLooks like Eric and the boys are getting back together for a one-night-only performance as a tribute to drummer Ginger Baker. With the monstrous success of reunion tours like the Police, we''re crossing our fingers for more than one night. |
 | And in "Still Not Real Guitar" News...from The Escapist, Digital JournalThis just in -- Rock Band creators claim that Guitar Hero''s gameplay isn''t as faithful to the music. What''s rock without catty feuds? More exciting, an air guitar legend (yes, apparently air guitar has legends), had to have a toe amputated after a particularly rowdy performance. Now that''s rock n'' roll! Kind of. |
 | Random Guitar Tidbit: The Guitar Fishfrom WikipediaFor those of you that don''t frequent your local aquarium, you may not be aware that there is such a thing as a Guitar Fish. Well, now you are. But don''t let this children''s story misinform you about the animal''s origins. |

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.
