GUITAR ACCESSORY ROUNDUP | Eric Dahl
CLIP-ON TUNER IN FLIGHT PRS guitars just released a new clip-on tuner that will make your tuning soar ! When your note is in tune the PRS bird inlay logo fills the screen . Unique features about this new clipon are the extended clip to fit odder shaped headstocks , wide screen horizontal display for easy viewing and it is USB rechargeable , so it is eco-friendly . Tested on a variety of instruments the tuning was precise and consistent even on 12-strings . I ’ m certain the new PRS Clip-On tuners are flying off the shelf since they only cost $ 29.99 street . The carbon fiber shell gives it a classy look also .
POWER UP WITH ERNIE BALL Pictures don ’ t do Ernie Ball ’ s new Volt isolated power supply justice or reflect how small it is at 3.5 ” by 2.3 ”. The Volt isn ’ t only designed to power your pedals but also to isolate the power , so you don ’ t end up with the 60-cycle hum of the blender from the fellowship hall in your mix . It can juice up your 9 & 18-volt effects pedals , and includes 5 x 1-1 ½ foot cables pedals . The LED status indicators are a nice feature also . At $ 99.99 street Ernie Ball ’ s new Volt provides sound power in a small footprint at a reasonable price .
If you need an extra Pegwinder the new Plus model has a sturdier grip , bridge pin puller for your acoustics and smooth ball bearing action . The neon color makes it easy to find in your gig bag and a $ 14.89 restring insurance plan from Ernie Ball is worth the investment !
