| The Guitar Tab Wars |
|
| Music publishers are taking action against guitar fan websites which they say infringe songwriters copyrights. Publishers have started to use copyright law suits to shut down sites which share notations which help musicians to play songs at home. Called guitar tablature, or tab, the notations indicate where players should put their fingers. Books filled with tab are available in shops, but a number of websites make tab notations available for free. Now trade bodies are taking action against those sites. |

| Visual Sound Jekyll & Hyde Ultimate Overdrive Pedal |
|
| There has never been an overdrive pedal quite like this baby. Two separate overdrives in one pedal, each with separate controls, but with the ability to use them individually or together. The Jekyll half is designed to accurately reproduce the sound of the TS-808 original TubeScreamer. Hyde is a heavier distortion with more bottom end and is extremely versatile. Not just a "Turbo" version of Jekyll, Hyde has a wide range of sounds that can be discovered by using the EQ knob to scoop out the midrange or add more, a Sharp/Blunt switch to go from a more compressed distortion to very bright, and the usual Drive, Tone, and Volume knobs to set the overall style of sound. |
