Watch the video for "Victorious" now featuring vocalist Dorothy. New album The Call of the Void out July 7.
Los Angeles-born guitar ace Nita Strauss recently announced her brand new album The Call of the The Void, out July 7 via Sumerian Records.
"'Victorious' is the anthem I always wanted, a song about inspiring change, marching forward relentlessly, being willing to save yourself instead of waiting for someone to do it for you, and never backing down from a fight," Strauss shares. "Dorothy was the perfect powerhouse voice and personality to stand and deliver, and knock this one out of the park."

Dorothy shares Strauss' enthusiasm for the track, stating, "I'm honored to be a part of 'Victorious' with my friend Nita Strauss. She is the embodiment of a bold, beautiful, strong woman. The song and video scream #GIRLPOWER and we know you'll love it!"
The video features two cameos. 13-year-old rising guitar star Charlotte Milstein plays the role of a young Nita, while U.S. Olympian, former WBO and IBF champion Mikalea Mayer, a childhood friend of Strauss and former bandmate, also appears. Learn more about their relationship here!

The 1,000-piece run celebrates the 50th anniversary of Santana's sophomore album, 'Abraxas', and pays homage to the iconic album's cover.
Today, PRS Guitars has announced a Limited Edition SE Santana Abraxas 50th Anniversary guitar; only 1,000 pieces will be available worldwide.
Carlos Santana's longstanding creative relationship with Paul Reed Smith has done much to shape the destiny of PRS Guitars, including influencing the development of the PRS SE Series more than twenty years ago. The PRS SE Santana Abraxas 50th Anniversary Limited Edition honors this alliance, celebrates the 50th anniversary of Santana's sophomore album, Abraxas, and pays homage to the iconic album's cover.
"It is an honor to co-join with PRS Guitars in celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Abraxas with a new Santana SE Abraxas 50 guitar. Abraxas represents beauty, power, grace and the mystical, and PRS allows you to access this vocabulary at your fingertips with the universal tone that delivers power and clarity, allowing you to find your own voice in your heart's music. We invite you to spread your wings and find your voice with this beautiful instrument!," said Carlos Santana.
The mahogany back, maple top guitar is adorned with the Abraxas angel and features the classic Santana combination of 24 frets, a shorter 24.5" scale length, and PRS patented molded tremolo. With two full octaves available and the more relaxed feel of a shorter scale length, PRS Santana signature instruments are comfortable and satisfying to play. The PRS Santana "S" treble and bass pickups on this model offer a warm, soulful tone. Additional specifications include a Wide Fat mahogany neck, and rosewood fretboard. The guitar ships with PRS Classic 9-42 guitar strings and a PRS SE gig bag.
"Abraxas is a Santana record that changed my life. The songs, the recording quality, and the extraordinary playing and grooves helped shape my love of music and the way I play. Helping to honor that moment with Carlos is a joy for us," said Paul Reed Smith.
For more information, please visit www.prsguitars.com and follow @prsguitars on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter to stay in the conversation. This announcement comes just days ahead of Santana's newest album release – Blessings and Miracles – due out October 15th.
The silver stomp is a four-stage transistor fuzz featuring a series of selectable diode clipping options.
Detected by its strong magnetic field emanatingfrom the lunar crater Tycho, the TMA-1 was found buried 15 meters beneath thesurface of the moon. The moment 9 volts of direct current hit the TMA-1, a powerfulsignal burst across the universe, searching for other devices of its kind. This is howthe new fuzz pedal from Acorn Amplifiers came to be.
The TMA-1 fuzz is a four stagetransistor fuzz featuring a series of selectable diode clipping options. Germanium,silicon, and bypass clipping diodes are switchable in two separate stages of the fuzzcircuit, allowing for a vast array of shapable fuzz tones. A giant glass lens indicatorglows red on the face of the pedal to remind humans of the impending singularitythat threatens to doom mankind, and also to let you know when the fuzz is engaged.
Features include:
- Toggle switches to select between different clipping options in two separate gain stages
- Enormous glass lens LED indicator
- Powered by standard 9VDC pedal power
- True bypass
- Hand built and hand wired from start to finish by obsessive compulsive perfectionists in Atlanta, GA
- Assembled entirely with high-quality, audio grade components and rugged latching foot switches and metal Switchcraft jacks
