On the road and in the studio...

Greetings fellow gearheads!
It's been a couple of days since I've updated this site for good reason. I've been on the road working my tail off and when I am home I've been working on upcoming projects for Sorcerer Radio on Live365. Be patient, the site will get back up to speed when I get back. In the meantime please take a look at some of my older posts. Enjoy!

Joan Jett Blackheart from Gibson USA

To celebrate her achievements, Gibson USA introduces the Joan Jett Blackheart, a guitar made in the image of her own simple yet powerful go-to Gibson, but with upgraded appointments befitting a deluxe artist’s model. With the Melody Maker’s light and incredibly resonant solid-mahogany body, a quarter-sawn solid-mahogany neck with 17-degree headstock pitch, a Tune-o-matic (ABR-1) bridge with stopbar tailpice and a Corian nut to keep it all ringing true, and a single zebra-coil BurstBucker 3 pickup in the bridge position for a hot yet vintage response, the Joan Jett Blackheart is equipped for your most aggressive sonic assault, while still capable of singing sweetly when desired.

Single Volume and Tone controls provide all the sound crafting you need, while a sideways mounted “kill switch” toggle lets you cut out when necessary, while avoiding any accidental dead air when you’re thrashing hard. To dress up this lean, mean rockin’ machine, the guitar’s neck wears an ebony fingerboard with red dot inlays in the traditional positions of the single dots, with two white hearts at the 12th fret, and a satin ebony black nitrocellulose finish to let you know it means business. All guitars come with a plush-lined Joan Jett hardshell case, and a Gibson Owner’s Manual with full care instructions. Check out a Joan Jett Blackheart at your authorized Gibson dealer, and get ready to rock.

Taking a few more days off from blogging!

Hello ToneFreq readers. I'm sorry I haven't posted since last Tuesday, I've been overloaded with work and being under-the-weather. I'll be taking a couple more days off from blogging but should be back in action with more cool video posts and reviews. Thanks for "tuning-in" every day. The whole point of this site is to share whatever guitar gear I find to be interesting or cool. Thanks for digging what I've been putting out. In the mean time please feel free to e-mail me, I'd love to hear from you. Hopefully this weekend I'll be putting up some posts and videos of my favorite gear in my arsenal. Until then ROCK ON!

ToneFreq's Daily Pedal: More Morley Guitar products!

Westside distribution announces four new Morley guitar products for 2010.

Mini Morleys

Two new optical pedals for 2010, the Mini Morley Wah and Mini Morley Volume. Both pedals are as fully featured as you would expect from Morley but measuring only 4.5 (W) x 6.75 (L) x 2.75 (H) inches, are perfect for pedals boards when space is at a premium. Both pedals feature cold rolled steel housing, LED indication, easy access battery door and can be powered from one 9V battery or an optional 9V adaptor.

ABY MIX

An ABY box with a difference. Each input signal has an independent control for the perfect mix. A highly flexible pedal with myriad uses. Separate footswitches allow you to turn on or off each output source in any combination. Two guitarists can play at the same time into one or two amps. The pedals can be used to mix down a CD and MP3 player to mixer, or use to route two keyboards to a monitor and the PA. Dual level controls, output LED indication, runs off one 9V battery or optional 9V adaptor and of course features Morley’s super tough cold rolled steel housing.

Accu-Tuner

A combination Strobe and Chromatic tuner in a stompbox format. The tuner remembers last tuner mode and stays there until switched. Dual outputs allow for through and mute capabilities. Also equipped with calibration and choose note features and sports the largest segment LED display on a floor tuner. Features road-worthy die cast housing with easy-access battery door, and can be powered by one 9V battery or optional 9V adapter.

With its simple operation and stellar analog tone—the MXR Micro Chorus joins the ranks of MXR Classics such as the Phase 90, Dyna Comp, and Micro Amp.

The Micro Chorus is designed with old-school bucket brigade technology for warm analog tone and features true bypass for pure guitar tone when the pedal is off. Its road-worthy hardware and components are housed in a space saving Phase 90 sized box.

ToneFreq's Daily Pedal: Kilpatrick Audio Guitar Effects Pedals

Canadian company Kilpatrick Audio has added two new models to their line of guitar effects pedals. All of the models are combination effects, giving players two or more effects in one pedal. The effects are highly adjustable and can be used simultaneously or switched on and off individually. The pedals are made of solid steel in an attractive vintage style and give off an impressive feeling of overall high quality and durability.

One of the new models, The Vibro Man combines tremolo and vibrato effects with a modulating band-pass filter. There is a Touch footswitch which causes the effects to react to your playing. The vibrato gets deeper the louder you play, enabling outstanding expression not possible with conventional effects. This feature is great for solos and adding just the right amount of funk without having to adjust the knobs.

Another new release is the Chora Lush, a combination chorus with reverb pedal. Both the chorus and reverb are rich and smooth sounding and like the Vibro Man, the effects are versatile and compliment eacho ther beautifully. The Chorus has a choir mode that stacks multiple voices for a robust effect and a solo mode for a more subtle and classic chorus. The name suits the pedal well, it is a supremely lush sounding chorus with a lot of character.

The original Lush Puppy (reverb with delay) and Echo Centric (echo with stereo synchopation) are both outstanding pedals and these new models round out the Kilpatrick Audio collection nicely. With the combo-effect design, each pedal is an original with a personality all it’s own. The effect combinations are well matched and masterfully tuned with an excellent range of adjustable control. In a boutique pedal market over saturated with basic overdrive and fuzz boxes, Kilpatrick Audio’s unique combination reverb, delay and modulation effects are like a breath of fresh air.

The Kilpatrick Audio pedals cost $279 USD and can be purchased through authorized dealers or directly at www.kilpatrickaudio.com

ToneFreq's Daily Pedal: MXR ZW38 Black Label Chorus

The new MXR Black Label Chorus is Zakk's secret weapon to thicken up his wall of distortion and add liquid dimension and texture to clean passages. At the heart of the Black Label Chorus is its bucket brigade circuitry—the only way to get truly rich and warm analog chorusing. Its vintage style tones are dialed in by High and Low cut filters and Level, Rate and Depth controls. For the ultimate in spatial chorusing, hook up two amps via the two outputs for a wide and sweeping stereo spread. Like all MXR pedals, the Black Label Chorus comes in a heavy-duty housing with durable jacks and switches for a lifetime on the road.

The Gibson Guitar App Has Arrived

Gibson Guitar Releases Its Own Free To Download App Exclusively For The iPhone and iPod Touch from the Apple App Store

Nashville, TN…March 2, 2010…Gibson Guitar, the world’s premiere musical instrument manufacturer and leader in music technology, is proud to announce the highly anticipated launch of the Gibson Guitar App. This free to download App will be available exclusively for all Apple iPhone and iPod Touch users directly from the Apple App Store 25th February 2010. This is one App every guitarist and fan of Gibson Guitar must own. Over the past two years over 3 Billion Apps have been downloaded around the world, the Gibson Guitar App cements Gibson’s reputation as the industry’s leader in innovation and music technology.

The Gibson Guitar App includes a number of special features, such as a traditional chromatic tuner which starts in “All Notes” mode that tracks whatever is played. Owners of the App can choose a tuning on the “Mode” page so the tuner will only track notes for that particular tuning. Also included is a standard chromatic tuner, a simple tuner which allows less advanced users to tune to Standard tuning Open G, Open D etc by touching the key. For iPhone users, the Gibson headstock inlay will automatically change color indicating if the string is sharp, flat or in tune. For iPod Touch users they can turn the “Play Notes” option on so they can hear the appropriate tuning since they do not have a microphone facility.

The Gibson app also features a standard metronome that allows users to choose a specific BPM or tap the screen three times to automatically set the tempo. Other key features of the app include over 30 chord charts with finger markings to help the user with mastering the chord. For those who prefer to learn new guitar riffs, licks or chord sequences via video tuition can now have that option from their Gibson App. The app will be updated frequently with new video content so users of all guitar ability can improve their technique from the comfort of their home.

For those who want to keep up with everything Gibson Guitar related including the announcement of new products, artist activity, news stories, interesting and factual features, exclusive contests and special events to name a few can now do this via the Gibson.com option. By popular demand the Gibson Guitar App is a multi-purpose and fully interactive guitar application which can be used at home, on the road or in the Studio. It’s a must have for guitarists and music enthusiasts of all ability and style, and best of all its free.
