Sublime Guitars Releases the Tomcat Deluxe

A new take on the classic offset electric.

Lakewood, FL (November 20, 2017) -- Sublime Guitars’ flagship model, the Tomcat, sees a major upgrade with the new Tomcat Deluxe. With a new production method, upgraded electronics and player friendly price-point, the Tomcat Deluxe is set to Sublime’s best blend of quality and value to date.

The Tomcat Deluxe retains Sublime’s take on the classic offset electric. It’s subtle curves give it a recognizable body shape with features that set it a part from the pack. The Tomcat Deluxe has a solid alder body with a stunning roasted flame maple neck with ebony fretboard. By roasting the neck, it provides better stability and less wood movement. The Tomcat also comes equipped with two Porter designed pickups; an H90 in the neck and a versatile humbucker in the bridge.

The Tomcat Deluxe utilizes Sublime’s new approach to manufacturing and is what really sets the guitar apart. Their new Globally Crafted production, means having the roasted neck, alder body and electronics all sourced from around the world and chosen solely by the quality of their craftsmanship rather than their price-point. By avoiding the single-factory, mass production approach, the Tomcat has a feel and sound unseen in its price range.

The new Tomcat Deluxe is available for pre-order at an MAP of $899. The Tomcat comes in two gloss finishes; Delano Teal and Onyx Black. With its player friendly features, elevated craftsmanship and musician friendly price-point, the Tomcat Deluxe is poised to be the new standard barer for the import electric.

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.
