Fishman TriplePlay
Here’s a left-field offering from renowned pickup brand Fishman – a Midi controller app called TriplePlay Connect. It’s designed to help you build bridges between the guitar and iPad, giving you the ability to build loops, play virtual instruments, add effects and more.
Harmony H650 amplifier
At its Summer NAMM booth, Harmony showcased the Series 6 amplifiers along with the recently released electrics. We managed to score some time with the H650 amplifier, a 50-watt, 1×12 combo with plenty of range.
Sundragon Jimmy Page amplifer
At the beginning of this year, Jimmy Page launched the Sundragon, a limited-edition recreation of the original amp he used on Led Zeppelin I. Announced alongside this exclusive unit was a more accessible “Standard” model, which we had a chance to encounter at Summer NAMM 2019.
EVH Bumblebee
It’s been 40 years since Eddie Van Halen’s Van Halen II was released. To commemorate the 1979 record, EVH has released a special tribute model dubbed as the ‘Bumblebee’.
Line 6 Spider
Line 6 has unveiled the second edition of its Spider V amp range. The new series, including five modelling amps and a single cabinet, is touted as the brand’s most versatile offering to date.
Gretsch Electromatic
Gretsch has pulled the curtains back on a new Electromatic model: the G5232T Electromatic Double Jet FT with Bigsby. This double-cut beauty features a chambered mahogany body and an arched maple top. It’s also loaded with the brand’s new Black Top Filter’Tron humbuckers voiced for that classic Gretsch tone.
