Recording King Updates Slope Shoulder Guitars with Tons of New Features!
Street price From $499.99 HAYWARD, CA— Recording King's updated our Slope Shoulder guitars with an extended scale length and vintage styling.We’ve  taken everything great about our slope shoulder guitars and added a  bunch of new features that will please both modern players and vintage enthusiasts. Following the early  mid-century “Jumbo” to “advanced Jumbo” change, we’ve extended our scale  length to the full dreadnought scale of 25.4” for a little more punch  and projection. The classic body shape still delivers the sweetness and ideal tonal blend characteristic to slope shoulder  guitars, but the longer scale gives it just a touch more volume to help  cut through the mix. The 1-11/16” bone nut is perfectly comfortable for  strumming, fingerstyle or flatpicking, and combined with the bone saddle, helps to give these guitars an additional degree  of brightness and clarity.To celebrate the sonic upgrades, we’ve made some changes in the detailing too, with ivory body and fretboard binding, pearl fretboard dots, vintage-inspired Golden Age tuners and the classic Recording King headstock logo inlay.Our  slope shoulder guitars are available in two different models to fit the  needs of any player. The RAJ-126 has a solid AA grade Sitka spruce top and solid African Mahogany back and  sides. It’s finished in vintage sunburst with a classic firestripe  pickguard, and ivory Golden Age tuning machines.The RAJ-116 has the same AA grade Sitka top with Mahogany back and sides. It’s finished in natural, with the same firestripe pickguard but with vintage-style Grover tuners. The  Recording King Slope Shoulder guitars start at a MAP of $499.99 with  solid Sitka top and Mahogany back and sides, and come with Recording King's industry-leading lifetime warranty.See a demo video of the RAJ-116 Slope Shoulder here:The Recording King Solid Top Slope Shoulder RAJ-116 See the whole 2012 line of Recording King guitars and banjos at http://www.recordingking.com/ Connect with us: http://www.facebook.com/RecordingKing http://twitter.com/Recording_King

Voxengo CurveEQ 3.1 Spline Equalizer Plugin Released
May 17th, 2012: Voxengo CurveEQ update version 3.1 is now available for download. Voxengo CurveEQ, available in AudioUnit and VST plug-in formats (including native 64-bit support), for Mac OS X (v10.5 and later), and Windows computers, is a spline equalizer plugin for professional music and audio production applications. Version 3.1 update includes the following changes: * Spectrum matching is now working correctly in all groups. * The "Load CSV" and "Save CSV" text file functions added.   CurveEQ implements spectrum matching technology that allows you to transfer spectrum’s shape of one recording to another.

CurveEQ features: * 3 EQ curves per channel group * Linear- and minimum-phase filtering * Spectrum matching * Freeform EQ curve drawing mode * CSV file import/export * Real-time FFT spectrum analyzer * Stereo and multi-channel processing * Internal channel routing * Channel grouping * Mid/side processing * 64-bit floating point processing * Preset manager * Undo/redo history * A/B comparisons * Contextual hint messages * All sample rates support * 53 ms compensated processing latency Voxengo CurveEQ is available for purchase on-line for USD 99.95.

Wampler Pedals Releases "Tweed '57" Overdrive and Tone-Shaping Pedal
Martinsville, IN  May 14, 2012 - Always a fan of classic tones, Brian first made the Black '65 Overdrive and Tone Shaper, but amp history didn't begin in the '60s. Reaching further back and using every bit of his design expertise, Brian has created the Wampler Pedals Tweed '57 Overdrive and Tone Shaper, designed to do for the late '50s what the Black '65 does for the mid '60s: offer musicians those classic tones without any hassle and at a fraction of the cost. Wampler Pedals, makers of the Paisley Drive™ and Black '65™ Overdrive among other pedals, has a new addition to their Heritage Series of pedals in the Tweed '57™ Overdrive and Tone Shaper.  Brian Wampler, President of Wampler Pedals, Inc. and pedal designer, comments on Tone Shaper pedals: "Pros and players have been 'stacking' pedals for decades, but pedals designed to shape the whole sound into a different, amp-inspired tone, that's new. The Tweed '57™ is an overdrive first, and has a ton of functionality there, I didn't hold back anything to get that part of it perfect. But it's also capable of being put right before your amp and changing the whole sound to be like the tone of the old tweed Bassman, or Deluxe, or Princeton, depending on how it's set. I think more and more people are really appreciating that kind of versatility in pedals. One trick ponies aren't my thing and I don't think players are satisfied with them either." The Tweed '57™ features a three-band EQ named "Vintage American Tone Structure;" a Gain knob, a Volume knob, and a unique "Input Simulator" toggle-switch feature with Normal, Bright and Linked modes. Brian explains, "Everyone knows that the blackface Fender tone does a great 'just on the edge of breakup' sound, and I think we captured that very accurately with the Black '65™ pedal. With the Tweed '57™, I wanted to capture the magic of tweed-covered, mid-to-late '50s cranked Bassman, or Deluxe, or a Champ tones all in one pedal. Our customers are telling us we nailed the sound and more importantly the feel of those tones extremely well with the Tweed '57™. Dialing in the amp tone you're after comes down to using the Input Simulator feature; I worked hard to make that as close to the sound of the 'real thing' as possible. It's extremely gratifying and humbling to hear your customers tell you that you accomplished your goal." • Hand-made in the U.S.A.• Completely true bypass• Battery connection and 9v power jack (barrel plug like Boss)• Power draw: 3mA• Controls: Volume, Gain, "Vintage American Tone Structure" EQ with Bass, Middle and Treble• Unique "Input Simulator" that reacts like the different input options of the amps of this era• 2.5" x 4.5" in size (63.5mm x 114.3mm)• 5 Year Transferable Warranty• Powder coated, durable finish• Completely original circuitry• Stacks very well with other pedals Released: May 14, 2012 Price: $199.97 MSRPAvailability: Direct at www.wamplerpedals.com, or through the dealer network worldwide at http://www.wamplerpedals.com/dealers/north-america.html
