Drum Workshop has extended its range of custom Collector’s series snare drums with the introduction of the Ultralight Edge snare. Super lightweight, it’s crafted from space carbon, a high-grade material that is upcycled from private sector space program manufacturing. The new 5.5- by 14-inch Ultralight Edge snare is assembled by hand at the California Custom Shop using the same tried-and-tested Edge construction. It utilizes a carbon weave cylinder fitted precisely over machined aluminum Edge rings, creating a high-tech hybrid that delivers brightness, articulation, volume, sensitivity and unique tonality.
Orange Amplification’s Guitar Butler is a complete guitar rig in a pedal. Like its sibling, The Bass Butler, this dual-channel guitar pre is intuitive to use and is ideal for gigging, playing at home, recording, touring, and for use with a P.A. system or DAW. Designed to provide comprehensive service to the guitarist’s signal chain, the Guitar Butler can be used either as a stand-alone or as part of a rig. Featuring a vintage voice, the Guitar Butler has been created to make it easy to place pedals up front. It has top mid and front controls in its tone stack, and the precise control offered by its sweeping EQ adds further warmth to humbuckers.
