ACCESSORY ROUNDUP
BOSS AC-22LX Acoustic Guitar Amplifier Cable Cups & HexHider
and save them in one of the fifteen memory slots . The Onboard Rhythm Box has 15 various patterns from five different types of percussion .
If you are seeking an all-in-one acoustic guitar amplifier that can also double as a PA , play percussive beats , and let you loop , here is the new BOSS AC-22LX . When the AC-22LX arrived for review we expected the typical straight forward acoustic amplifier in a smaller backage that was more portable , that doesn ’ t even scratch the surface of this amp . Air Feel is a new feature that provides 5 different guitar settings , four of which are different microphone positions on a guitar . Sound is projected through a pair of 5-inch twin-cone speakers driven by a 10-watt stereo amp . The instrument channel has its own three-band EQ and has Chorus and Reverb effects . The dedicated Mic channel features and XLR input , Reverb effect , phantom power option and a two-band EQ . Dial in your favorite sounds for specific songs
Connectivity includes mono or stereo output and USB audio interface . A looper is built-in but it requires the optional BOSS FS-6 footswitch ($ 84.99 ) or I would recommend if you add on the Bluetooth option ($ 59.99 ) then go with the wireless FS-1 pedal ($ 129.99 ). However you slice it , I would recommend adding a foot pedal to have hands free control of your effects . The BOSS AC-22LX can be powered by 8 AA batteries or the power cable provided . At $ 399.99 this acoustic amp looks and sounds incredible . The only features I would request would be a cover or gig bag , tilt back option to direct sound up and a mic stand mount on the bottom . Plug into the new BOSS AC-22LX Acoustic Guitar amp and you will buy one , even if you only use it as a monitor and a direct box ! www . boss . info
Sometimes cool music gear products find us and then we want them . Such is the case with Cable Cups created by the owner of Small Stage Company . Imagine if you will , an instrument shaped flexible rubber holder that has micro suction cups to hold it to the top of your amp ? It is designed to secure your picks , tuner , capo , slide and guitar cable . Sounds too good to be true , but it ’ s not . And they come in Strat body , Strat headstock , Tele body , Tele headstock ( newest ) and pick shaped . The micro-suction cups don ’ t leave any residue on your amplifier , or other location , and they are reusable so you can transport them in your gig bag , case , or backpack .
Pigtronix Pedal Tuner
There is something comforting about a dedicated pedal tuner on your pedalboard . Pigtronix has just released their new 2NR Chromatic Tuner which has a high contrast LED screen and a footswitch on top and
nothing else ! Yes , it is that simple which I wish more things in life were like the Pigtronix 2NR Chromatic tuner . On the front of the pedal , you have a ¼ ” input and output and a plug in for the power supply . The aluminum chassis looks great and feels solid . The LED screen is so big and bright that your drummer will be able to see if you are in tune from his throne . Pigtronix 2NR ( say it with an Arnold Schwarzenegger accent ) costs $ 99 and is the perfect edition to your pedal board that has no tuner now . Simple is better thanks to Pigtronix . www . pigtronix . com
Besides the awesome Cable Cups , checkout their HexHider tool for adjusting your locking tremolo . The magnet on the back of the HexHider secures it to the tuners on the back of your guitars headstock so you have it when you need it most . They are available in single packs , 2-packs or 4-packs depending upon your need and prices start at $ 9.49 . Cable Cups range in price from $ 16.99 to $ 19.99 . Both items are helpful guitar accessories we can all use . www . smallstage . co
