Gator has released a USB-C rechargeable compact tuner for guitar, bass, ukulele, violin and other instruments. The Gator G-SCALE-CLIP tuner includes five tuning presets: chromatic, guitar, bass, ukulele and violin, along with a calibration function adjustable from 430Hz to 450Hz. Its vibration-based sensor provides tuning accuracy and can help players tune in louder environments where microphone-based tuners may be less effective. To support precise adjustments, the tuner features a bright display that shows pitch deviation in cents. Four points of articulation, including 360-degree dual-axis rotation, let the screen be positioned for clear viewing from a variety of angles while attached to an instrument.
Boss has launched the EX-4 Effects Expander, a compact effects processor that infuses any pedalboard setup with a boost in sonic versatility. Players carefully curate their pedalboard builds, and every slot must earn its place. The EX-4 delivers up to four simultaneous effects from a vast onboard library. Every category is available among the 120 effect selections, including overdrive and distortion, modulation, delay and reverb, as well as bass-tuned effects and Boss favorites like Slow Gear and Slicer. The EX-4’s Gear Suite feature makes it quick and easy to call up ready-to-go sounds. Each effect type comes with multiple pre-made Gear Suite settings with professionally tuned parameters.
