Akai Professional’s MPK Mini Plus builds on the brand’s line of keyboard controllers. The MPK Mini Plus adds a new 37-key, three full-octave Gen 2 keybed. With an onboard sequencer, USB/CV/gate/sync/MIDI connectivity and RGB-backlit MPC Pads, the MPK Mini Plus is an ideal hub for any studio setup.
Aguilar Musical Instruments’ Storm King distortion fuzz micro pedal delivers a unique sound, along with a shape control feature that offers a wide sweep of tones — from a light, tube-like saturation to an aggressive, ripped-speaker tone and everything in between. The kick button delivers a frequency boost for a bump in presence and punch. Whether players are looking to give their instrument a saturated tone, cutting distortion or a massive fuzz sound, the Storm King delivers at every turn.
On-Stage’s DG600 Drum Gels let players dampen resonance, ringing and sustain to achieve their desired drum tone. By placing a gel or multiple gels in various locations on a drumhead, different resonances can be controlled to refine and alter a drum’s tone and dampen excessive ringing. Made using a nontoxic formula for safe handling, the self-adhering gels are easy to apply, reposition and remove without leaving behind a residue. Reusable many times, the DG600’s stickiness can be maintained by washing with soap and water when needed. The pack includes six gels and a canister that keeps them clean and protected during transportation.
