| New - Kerry King KFK-1 10-Band EQ From MXR |
|
| If MXR's M-108 10-Band EQ isn't heavy enough for you, check out its evil twin, the Kerry King 10-Band. Designed in conjunction with the legendary Slayer guitarist, this tattoo-covered pedal sports the same great features and hardcore construction as the M-108, but the King can punish two amps at once thanks to its dual outputs. Use it as a boost for solos or to create scooped-mid rhythm tones. |

| Sonic Implants Releases Talk Box Guitar Sample Collection |
|
| Those unfamiliar with the "Talkbox" by name will almost certainly be familiar with the litany of distinctive sounds it can produce, as popular artists as diverse as Joe Walsh, Peter Frampton, and Bon Jovi have used the Talk Box over the course of the last thirty years of popular music. In short, the Talk Box is an apparatus that allows guitarists to effectively 'talk' guitar notes by routing the guitar's amplified sound through a piece of tubing the player holds in his mouth. Fluctuations in mouth position relative to the tubing enable the player to evince all manner of artificial 'speech' using the guitar as the players 'voice'. |
