Recording King’s new RK Madison OT26 features a Whyte Laydie tone ring that offers traditional banjo tone with a percussive lilt that makes for an ideal accompaniment to the classic singing style. With a hand-rubbed satin finish, a maple neck with adjustable truss rod and a true steam-bent maple rim, the Madison RK-OT26 is a vintage-style picking machine. The traditional scalloped Whyte Laydie tone ring features a warm but punchy tone, letting each fundamental note speak clearly without distracting overtones. The banjo also features a no-knot tailpiece and precise tension control from the 24-bracket tension hoop.
Black Rooster Audio’s TD-201 Plug-in is a virtual take on vintage tape echo — effectively bringing the sound of an analog classic into the 21st century as an in-the-box tape delay. The plug-in delivers the sought-after vintage character of the increasingly inaccessible hardware concerned in an easy-to-use reimagining that offers a variety of customization options for maximum usability.
