➍ ELECTRO-HARMONIX DOUBLES DOWN ON LOOPING WITH THE 720 ➍ Electro-Harmonix has doubled the loop time of its groundbreaking 360 looper to 720 seconds (12 minutes) across many patches. Users also get a switch for Undo-Redo, Reverse and Half Speed for handy implementation. The 720 also features high-quality A/D/A converters with a 44.1kHz sample rate for CD quality loops. A Level knob helps players let loops run behind the action or up front for complicated soundscapes. ➎ DAVID ALLEN PICKUPS UNVEILS THE TRU 59 S V STRAT PICKUP SET ➎ After two years of prototyping, the David Allen TRU 59 S V set is ready to launch.

The set began with an approximation of a famous Stevie Ray Vaughan tone but then arced into an everyday tone that players of all walks could enjoy. David Allen assures players that his ’59 packs enough juice for Stevie tones while still being able to nail all sounds of the era. ➏ FUZZHUGGER(FX) GETS PSYCHEDELIC WITH THE NEW SONIC SHROOM ➏ After plenty of experimentation, Fuzzhugger(fx) has updated its classic AB-Synth fuzz and transformed it into the Sonic Shroom.
