full size concert steel string with a resin
injected rosewood fingerboard that is more
resistant to low humidity and temperature
changes than traditional fingerboard technologies. Every few months, several new
school designs will be introduced as they are
approved by the Collegiate licensing authorities. These schools will be chosen by fan
demand for these colleges. Here that Illini
and Northwestern fans? Initial production
run will include several guitars that will retail
for $299.95, with a strictly enforced
street/MAP pricing of $199.95. Other musical
products and accessories are also being
developed that include
straps and picks. For

TECH 21
Hot Rod Plexi Pedal
The Hot-Rod Plexi pedal from Tech 21 is
inspired by vintage amps of the same nickname. While those hulking stacks are known
to sound best at ear-bleed levels, this pedal
can painlessly transform your existing amp
without pulling a muscle.
With the Hot-Rod
Plexi, you can change
the personality of a
clean amp or use it as an
instant mod to a dirty
amp. Portions of Tech
21's all-analog SansAmp
technology have been
incorporated into the
Hot-Rod Plexi to generate organic tube amp distortion characteristics. In Stock mode, it mimics the signal path
from the input jack to the speaker jack (without the speaker emulation) of a stock '68
Plexi. Hot mode engages an extra "12AX7"
pre-amp gain stage. With its own level control, Hot can kick in up to 28dB of pre-amp
boost. Tone cuts the high end without losing
mids or getting muddy and Drive adjusts the
overall amount of gain and overdrive. Punch
is a wide-band mid-range EQ control that
gradually changes its bandwidth with the
amount of cut or boost, so you can dial in just
the right amount of balance. Other features
include a high-impedance input, a lowimpedance output, and a silent-switching,
custom footswitch actuator. Operable with
9V battery or an optional DC power supply
MSRP is $215.00. More details can be found at
