HOT GEAR Reloop Tape 2 DJ Mix Recorder Reloop has released the Tape 2 audio recording device for DJs, featuring an integrated lithium-ion battery and retro cassette tape styling that allows DJs to record their mix in WAV or MP3 format directly to a microSD card. The built-in A/D converters offer 24-bit sound recording to ei- ther lossless WAV or MP3 (320 kbps) formats. The Tape 2 is portable thanks to the internal lithium-ion battery with up to six hours of recording on a full charge. Line-level or mic sources, such as CD players, DJ mixers, or dynamic mics, can be directly connected to Tape 2 via the 3.5 mm input. The audio signal can either be moni- tored with headphones or looped through to the main speakers. The Tape 2 now offers a lock function that locks/unlocks all control elements. This eliminates the risk of accidentally pressing stop in the middle of a recording session. It can be used in dark surroundings with the bi-coloured, various status LEDs.

RockBoard Looper/Switcher Cables RockBoard has expanded its range of space-saving special cables with the RockBoard Looper/Switcher Cable. The connector cables are designed to be extra flat and space saving in order to optimize pedalboard real estate. They feature a slim rectangular cable and extra-thin angled or com- pact straight plugs to keep musicians’ setups tidy and neat look- ing. RockBoard has optimized its Flat Patch Cables for use with looper/switchers or effects pedals with tightly-spaced jacks. The Looper/Switcher Cables are available in four lengths: 20 cm, 40 cm, 60 cm, and 100 cm.

Cusack Music Resound Digital Reverb Pedal Cusack Music has released the Resound digital reverb pedal, which is based around the Spin Semiconductor FV-1 micro. The Resound pedal features eight different reverbs, the ability to save up to eight presets, and an Extend switch to help create complex ambient soundscapes. Other features include separate Live and Preset modes, a Level switch to boost or cut the overall output signal from the pedal, and a Mix knob that controls the dry/ wet mix. The Trails switch controls whether the reverb effect com- pletes or not when the pedal is bypassed. Cascade, when used in combination with Extend, controls whether new notes are added to the extended reverb or not.
