| Jerry Donahue Signature Omniac Guitar |
|
Peavey proudly introduces the new Omniac guitar, designed with rock 'n' roll guitar legend Jerry Donahue. The signature Omniac corrals five groundbreaking rock tones into a fully modern, expertly crafted guitar. When it comes to the time-tested single-coil tones that helped define rock 'n roll guitar, the most influential guitar and pickup designs were created prior to the mid-1950s in two instruments: a two-pickup design and a three-pickup design. Until now, working guitarists would have to drag at least two guitars to a gig or session in order to capture all of these celebrated rock tones. The Omniac captures the best of these tones in one two-pickup instrument.

| Soldering Tips and Tricks |
|
| The art of making a good solder joint is essential to anyone who wants to make electronic equipment, and it is an art form that is not too hard to master, once the basics are learned. Without good solder joints, your project will not perform up to its potential. To start with, you need the proper equipment. This means, at the minimum, a soldering iron and solder. For working with components, IC chips, transistors, resistors, etc., you need a low wattage iron. Typically a 20 to 35 watt iron is good for this purpose. If you are working with connectors, cables and other devices that have more mass to absorb heat, then a higher wattage iron may be necessary. |
