MONO Pedalboards
MONO has released its first range of ergonomic,
adaptable pedalboards.
The five pedalboards in the range are all cut
from a single piece of 3 mm anodized aluminum
to be lightweight and durable. The cut-outs on
top of the board are designed to accommodate
any custom cable routing configuration and every
pedalboard is shipped with 3M Dual Lock fasteners.
The pedalboards are flat or set at a 10-degree incline
for ergonomic stomping and easy reach. There are
rubber feet for stability and shock absorption.
MONO’s pedalboard range includes five sizes,
from the Lite, measuring 14 x 5.25 x 1.25 in., up to
the Large, measuring 32 x 16 x 3.5 in.

Grover EQlipse Dual Apex Snare
Drums
Grover Pro Percussion has released the EQlipse Dual
Apex snare drums, which include the 5 x 14-in.
G1-EQ-5E and 6 x 14-in. G1-EQ-6E. The EQlipse Dual
Apex snares provide two distinct bearing edges: a
double 45-degree edge for a bright, contemporary
sound and a rounded edge for a traditional, dark
vintage tone.
The aluminum Tone Belt acts as a structural
brace, removing tension from the wood shell. Inside
the Tone Belt is a ceramic-coated maple ring, which
amplifies transient high-end frequencies. These
features give the EQlipse its multi-shell character.
In addition, the snares sport both silver and bronze
non-spiral snare wires. Increased contact with the
snare head produces power and projection beyond
that of ordinary snares.
To change the bearing edge, the user just
removes the batter head, flips over the Apex Ring,
and puts the head back on.
