Zion Guitars Release New Bent T Guitar Model

Zion Guitar Technology has created the Bent T model, a variation of the Maple T model. The Bent T's figured maple top is bent down to conform to the back, giving a gentle slope under the picking forearm. This makes for a much more comfortable body to play for long periods. It is a very subtle modification and does not change the overall appearance of the guitar but after a few hours on the bandstand, the Bent T just feels better. The peghead is now angled back ten degrees and has a body matching face on it. The truss-rod now adjusts from the peghead end and features a two-way rod. Standard is the Neutrik locking jack that is recessed into the side of the guitar. By use of this jack, the cable is locked into the guitar until released by a small button next to the plug using one hand.

BSM Releases New VX-1 Treble Booster Pedal
The BSM VX-T model is based on the Vox Treble & Bass booster made in the late 60's in England, used by many british band at the time. The VX-T improves upon the original though with tighter and more powerful bass. The VX-T model features a single knob, a tone control, to shape the sound. When knob is set to maximum, the unit will produced a very glassy tone - like the "jingle jangle" sound of Roger McGuinn in Byrds in mid 60s. When a middle setting is dialed in, the result is a punchy tone with mild highs and bottom, somewhat like a wahwah pedal set in mid position, emulating the sound of Michael Schenker in UFO or Mick Ronson, guitarist in early 70s backing band called SPIDERS of David Bowie. Set to the minimum, the unit produces a bluesy bottom with enough mids and a litte bit of highs.
