0 Comments

Well, with no fanfare whatsoever Electro-Harmonix has added two new guitar effects pedals to their line-up––what appears to be a nano-sized reissue of the classic ’70s Soul Preacher Compressor/Sustainer, and something called the #1 Echo. Unfortunately, in usual Electro-Harmonix fashion, specs are pretty much nonexistent, so it’s not even apparent whether the new Soul Preacher is [...]

New For 2007: Fender ‘62 Heavy Relic Stratocaster

18. May 2007

Fender continues to expand its popular (and somewhat controversial) line of “Relic” guitars with the recently announced 2007 Custom Shop Limited Release ‘62 Heavy Relic Stratocaster (quick, say that ten times fast.)
