The NAMM show was needless to say one of the best experiences I have had both as a musician and as a salesperson at Easy Music Center. My eyes feasted upon the plethora of new and exciting gear from a full drum set played with nothing but your feet, to a brand new line of “intelligent” PA gear by Line 6. Though I digress, as a guitar player, one of the most exciting was the release of the new GT-100 by BOSS.

BOSS has done it again! (No surprise for those of us who live and love BOSS). The new GT-100 has a new sleek design, the most striking of which is the unique dual LCD screens. This new feature, along with the 8 easy grab knobs, makes it easy to tweak your sound on the fly. There are no menus and everything is easy to access and ready to go. Boss also remodeled the entire amps and effects section; they sound better than ever! Thanks to a new DSP engine, your COSM tones will soar higher than ever before. But, it wouldn’t be complete without a new set of vintage sounding amps from high-gain models to smooth and clean. The most impressive part of this new flagship has to be the new Accel pedal, allowing control of multiple parameters at once.

All in all, this is a MUST SEE pedal! I was blown away by Robert Marcelo at the NAMM show and his flawless execution of all it’s features as he proceeded to melt my face off. Be on the lookout for it here at Easy Music Center!  I wish my video didn’t come out distorted…Robert was killing it as always!

COMING SOON!!!

Loopers … More and more people are getting into them….Here are some of our best sellers from Boss, Digitech, and Line 6.

In this video I will show you one of the many possibilities of adding a looper to your set up. I am using a stereo amp and an  A+B switcher with a BOSS looper and FX unit to sample a few patches and blend them together while also having the ability to pan them left and right . This is a great way to step out of the box and  a great starting point for creating your own looper set up.

Changing the recording pattern on the BOSS RC-30 couldn’t be any easier. By watching the YouTube video below or following the few simple directions, you can change the recording pattern from RECORD/OVERDUB/PLAY to RECORD/PLAY/OVERDUB.

Step 1: While RC-30 is powered off, hold down the TAP TEMPO button.

Step 2: Insert 1/4 INCH CABLE to power on the RC-30 (while still holding the TAP TEMPO button).

Step 3: (Display will read “RD” meaning Record/Overdub).  Press the UP ARROW button so that the display reads “RP” meaning (Record/Play).

This product is for all you solo musicians that want more versatility in your looping abilities.  You can record multiple tracks on one phrase.  That means you can have a bass line on one track and rhythm on another and switch between tracks, turning off the first one you started. The video below has a brief example of starting a loop, switching the tracks, and stopping the existing tracks.  Check it out. I hope this gives you some ideas!
