Fishman’s Loudbox Micro packs 40 watts of clean acoustic power into a lunchbox-sized acoustic combo. A sealed-cabinet design paired with a bi-amplified driver configuration generates rich, full tone from acoustic instruments. The amp features a dedicated microphone channel alongside an instrument channel with a master volume knob and Fishman’s preamp and tone control design. Musicians can use the digital reverb and chorus on the instrument channel to create space and textures, while reverb is there for the ready on the microphone channel. Loudbox Micro also includes an aux input, a balanced XLR DI output and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
Boss has introduced special 50th anniversary versions of its DS-1 Distortion (DS-1-B50A), SD-1 Super Overdrive (SD-1-B50A) and BD-2 Blues Driver (BD-2-B50A) pedals, three of the most popular models from the brand’s compact pedal lineup. These collectible versions have been produced in limited numbers, with only 7,000 units available. The DS-1 Distortion is prized for its edgy attack and smooth sustain, while the S-1 Super Overdrive improves on the OD-1 model by introducing a tone control and other subtle circuit enhancements. The BD-2 Blues Driver offers nuanced gain tones that let guitarists’ feel and technique shine through.
