THE SWEETWATER DIFFERENCE — EXPERIENCE IT TODAY!<br />

<strong>VG</strong> <strong>Strat</strong> Q&A<br />

<strong>VG</strong> <strong>Strat</strong>ocaster<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>VG</strong> <strong>Strat</strong>ocaster ® includes all of the features you would<br />

expect from Fender’s flagship American Series <strong>Strat</strong> ® — handrolled<br />

fingerboard for broken-in feel, calibrated pickups, staggered<br />

machine heads, and reduced body cavity routing (more wood equals<br />

more tone). At first glance, the <strong>VG</strong> <strong>Strat</strong>ocaster looks like a stock<br />

alder American Series <strong>Strat</strong>, which is what it is deep down inside. But<br />

at closer inspection you notice there’s certainly something going on<br />

under the hood. <strong>The</strong> pickguard sports four knobs rather than three,<br />

there’s a battery light, and a Roland GK pickup — and that is where<br />

this <strong>Strat</strong> really departs from the norm.<br />

Two knobs control<br />

volume and tone with<br />

the other two knobs<br />

opening the door<br />

to amazing sonic<br />

possibilities. <strong>The</strong> “T”<br />

knob selects<br />

the tuning<br />

with standard,<br />

Drop D, Open<br />

G, D Modal, and Power at your fingertips! Instantly<br />

Baritone tunings access which tuning and voicing<br />

available is currently being output by the <strong>VG</strong><br />

along with <strong>Strat</strong> with these two mini-knobs.<br />

a 12-string<br />

sound. <strong>The</strong><br />

“M” knob accesses faithful models of humbuckers, a<br />

Telecaster, an acoustic guitar, or a <strong>Strat</strong>. This modeling is<br />

made possible by the Roland GK pickup installed between<br />

the bridge and the bridge pickup and the onboard Roland<br />

<strong>VG</strong> modeling electronics. This <strong>Strat</strong> is a dream <strong>com</strong>e true for<br />

the performing guitarist. Now a single guitar can instantly<br />

change tunings or models with the twist of a knob. To<br />

ensure that the legions of <strong>Strat</strong>ocaster fans feel right at<br />

home on the <strong>VG</strong> <strong>Strat</strong>, Fender packaged all these innovative<br />

features inside an American Series <strong>Strat</strong> body with a<br />

familiar <strong>Strat</strong> neck so the feel is just what you’d expect from<br />

a Fender.<br />

Q: Is the <strong>VG</strong> <strong>Strat</strong> a guitar synth?<br />

A: It’s not a guitar synth — it’s an<br />

American Series <strong>Strat</strong> with onboard<br />

Roland <strong>VG</strong> technology. <strong>The</strong>re’s no need<br />

for a synth interface, and no MIDI out<br />

— it’s a fully functional, stand-alone<br />

electric guitar with additional built-in<br />

modeling capabilities.<br />

Q: What other equipment do I<br />

need to operate the <strong>VG</strong> <strong>Strat</strong>?<br />

A: Just what you’d need for a standard<br />

guitar: a regular guitar cable, an amp,<br />

and four AA batteries.<br />

Q: Why is there a “virtual”<br />

<strong>Strat</strong>ocaster on the <strong>VG</strong> <strong>Strat</strong>?<br />

A: <strong>The</strong> modeled <strong>Strat</strong> sound mimics<br />

an ash-bodied <strong>Strat</strong> for more sonic<br />

options, and is free of 60-cycle<br />

single-coil hum! Plus you can use the<br />

modeled tunings with it.<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>VG</strong> <strong>Strat</strong>:<br />

What’s Inside?<br />

<strong>The</strong> Roland GK pickup opens the door to 37<br />

different tones with the twist of a knob. Here’s an<br />

overview of what’s hiding inside the <strong>VG</strong> <strong>Strat</strong>.<br />

Models:<br />

• <strong>Strat</strong> — with a lively ash body<br />

• Telecaster — plenty of “spank”<br />

• Dual humbuckers — fat and beefy<br />

• Acoustic guitar — five variations<br />

Tunings:<br />

• Drop D<br />

• Open G<br />

• D Modal (DADGAD)<br />

• Baritone<br />

• 12-string guitar<br />

<strong>The</strong> magic of the <strong>VG</strong> <strong>Strat</strong>ocaster<br />

lies within the Roland GK pickup<br />

and the onboard <strong>VG</strong> electronics,<br />

which enables it to accurately model<br />

different electric or acoustic guitars<br />

and quickly switch tunings at the<br />

turn of a knob.

You could make the case that Fender ® electric guitars were responsible — at least in great part — for<br />

the sound of modern rock ‘n’ roll. Leo Fender’s masterpieces, which include classics like the<br />

<strong>Strat</strong>ocaster ® , the Telecaster ® , and the original Precision Bass ® were at the core of a musical revolution that spawned<br />

everything from surf to country to punk! No other guitar manufacturer can match Fender for the sheer number of available<br />

color, wood, and hardware options, as well as every imaginable accessory from picks to pickups and much more.<br />

Eric Johnson<br />

Texas guitarist Eric Johnson is known as a<br />

perfectionist, and this may just be the perfect <strong>Strat</strong> for you!<br />

<strong>The</strong> Eric Johnson <strong>Strat</strong>ocaster, the brainchild of Eric himself,<br />

features a light 2-piece alder body dressed in a very thin nitrocellulose lacquer, a 1-piece<br />

quarter-sawn soft “V” maple neck with a 12" fingerboard radius, and 21 highly polished<br />

frets. Additional features include staggered vintage-style machine heads (eliminating<br />

the string tree), custom pickups wound to Eric’s specifications, and a highly contoured<br />

body and neck. It includes a ‘57-style string recess with no paint between the base plate<br />

and the block. Other unique appointments featured on Eric’s signature axe include a<br />

custom neck plate engraved with an “EJ” and Kokopelli etching, a 4-spring tremolo, and<br />

countersunk pickup mounting screws.<br />

Stevie Ray<br />

Vaughan <strong>Strat</strong><br />

Sometimes you can spot a guitar a mile away and immediately<br />

associate it with the player who made it famous. Here’s a prime example! Stevie Ray<br />

collaborated with Fender just before his untimely death to produce the stellar-sounding<br />

Stevie Ray Vaughan <strong>Strat</strong>. Now you can recreate the sound of Stevie Ray’s Texassoaked<br />

blues, with Fender Texas Special pickups for tone, jumbo frets for dramatic blues<br />

bends, and Stevie’s favored inverted left-hand vintage tremolo unit (a nod to one of his<br />

heroes, Jimi Hendrix). <strong>The</strong> guitar is finished in a 3-color sunburst over an alder body<br />

with a jewel-like polyurethane finish. <strong>The</strong> 12" radius, gloss-finished maple neck includes<br />

gold-plated Fender/Gotoh vintage-style tuning machines.<br />

Eric Clapton <strong>Strat</strong><br />

<strong>The</strong>re are few names in the guitar world that<br />

<strong>com</strong>mand as much respect as Eric Clapton. <strong>The</strong><br />

Fender Eric Clapton <strong>Strat</strong> ® has been updated to create one of<br />

the most versatile <strong>Strat</strong>s ever. It starts with a lightweight solid alder body with a slick<br />

black polyurethane finish and a single-ply white pickguard (just like Clapton’s famed<br />

“Blackie”). <strong>The</strong> maple neck and fingerboard sport a 9.5" radius and soft “V” profile<br />

for playing <strong>com</strong>fort. Thanks to the active midrange boost and TBX circuitry, you can<br />

go from crystal-clear tone to a full-throated growl with the spin of a knob. Add three<br />

Vintage Noiseless pickups and a “blocked” American vintage synchronized tremolo,<br />

and you have a truly soulful instrument.<br />

Series Jeff Beck <strong>Strat</strong>ocaster reflects the significant changes Jeff has made to his<br />

guitar to ac<strong>com</strong>modate his constantly evolving style. You’ll notice the new neck shape is a<br />

softer “C,” not as large or deep as Jeff’s previous choice, plus there’s a contoured heel for<br />

easier access to the higher registers. <strong>The</strong> guitar features the new Fender Special Design<br />

dual-coil ceramic Noiseless pickups and 5-way switching for a variety of tonal options.<br />

<strong>The</strong> alder body is loaded with Tex-Mex single-coils with an especially hot bridge pickup<br />

provides excellent playability. Far more than just “Stevie Ray’s brother,” Jimmy Vaughan<br />

of a built-in Roland GK-2A pickup system, allowing<br />

you to drive peripherals directly from the guitar’s<br />

on-board controls. <strong>The</strong> original <strong>Strat</strong> had three single<br />

Roland Ready <strong>Strat</strong> <strong>com</strong>es standard with<br />

a modern 5-way blade switch, making it<br />

easy to access all the standard <strong>Strat</strong> pickup<br />

<strong>com</strong>binations. A 3-position mini-toggle<br />

switch selects between guitar only, synth<br />

only, or a <strong>com</strong>bination of both. Two push<br />

buttons allow you to send <strong>com</strong>mands (like<br />

preset up or down) to the synth module.<br />

Three standard single-coil pickups<br />

deliver the classic <strong>Strat</strong> sounds that<br />

have made it famous, with all the<br />

“spank” and sparkle you’d expect,<br />

<strong>The</strong> Fender Custom Shop is celebrating 20 years of building dream guitars for the cream of the guitar crop. From faithful<br />

reproductions of classic axes of the past to fully tweaked customs built to an individual’s personal specifi cations, few instruments<br />

<strong>com</strong>mand the level of respect afforded Fender Custom Shop models. <strong>The</strong>re are two different degrees of Fender Custom Shop models:<br />

Stock Team-built and Team-built Custom. Stock Team-built instruments are handcrafted by an elite team of veteran builders<br />

and offer a series of stock instruments that incorporate the Custom Shop’s most requested features and confi gurations of<br />

the past few years. With a Team-built Custom guitar, you can pick and choose any feature you want. If you can dream it,<br />

they can build it! A select few instruments — known as Masterbuilt instruments — are handbuilt by the Master Luthiers,<br />

the same luthiers that build custom instruments for the likes of Eric Clapton, Keith Richards, and Merle Haggard.<br />

<strong>Strat</strong>ocaster Pro<br />

<strong>The</strong> folks at the Fender Custom shop crafted a beautiful <strong>Strat</strong> that’s<br />

made for the pro player. <strong>The</strong> <strong>Strat</strong>ocaster Pro’s select alder body<br />

and “C”-shaped maple neck offer that classic <strong>Strat</strong> feel, with a<br />

difference: this instrument includes a special neck heel that<br />

was previously available only on theJeff Beck Signature<br />

<strong>Strat</strong>ocaster. You also get a big-peg headstock, Custom<br />

Classic tremolo, locking tuners, and a roller nut — this<br />

axe is built from the ground up to stay in tune during even<br />

the wildest gigs. <strong>The</strong> <strong>Strat</strong>ocaster Pro also includes Fender’s<br />

own Greasebucket tone circuit and incredible Samarian<br />

Cobalt Noiseless pickups, which give you the <strong>Strat</strong><br />

tone you want without the 60-cycle hum. This guitar<br />

gets Fenders’s “Closet Classic” treatment, which<br />

imparts the appearance of a classic, slightly used<br />

instrument.<br />

1957 <strong>Strat</strong> & Pro Jr.<br />

Fender is issuing the George Fullerton 50th<br />

Anniversary 1957 <strong>Strat</strong>ocaster with a Relic’d Pro<br />

Jr. amp to mark a special milestone in the history of the<br />

<strong>Strat</strong>ocaster. <strong>The</strong> <strong>Strat</strong> was actually born in 1954, but the<br />

<strong>Strat</strong>ocaster really hit its stride in 1957, hence the release<br />

of a 50th Anniversary set. This unique <strong>com</strong>bo pays tribute<br />

to George Fullerton — a founding father of this landmark<br />

instrument — with a 3-piece blade-cut alder<br />

body <strong>Strat</strong>ocaster sporting a 2-color sunburst<br />

Rory Gallagher<br />

Tribute <strong>Strat</strong>ocaster<br />

Irish guitar phenom Rory Gallagher is remembered with this replica<br />

of his 1961 worn-to-the-wood <strong>Strat</strong>. <strong>The</strong> Rory Gallagher Tribute<br />

<strong>Strat</strong>ocaster is loaded with “one-off” appointments that<br />

make this a truly unique instrument. Among the novelties<br />

on this axe are a mismatched Gotoh tuner (the other five<br />

are Sperzel) and a white plastic 12th-fret dot marker instead<br />

of the original clay dot. Aged plastic parts, a bone nut, and<br />

custom-wound ’60s single-coil pickups round out this tribute<br />

to a guitar master.<br />

Fender’s Custom Shop Time Machine Series offers instruments that are built just like<br />

they were in their respective years. Original materials and tooling are used to make sure that<br />

every instrument is period-correct. <strong>The</strong> Time Machine Series is available in three distinct fi nish<br />

packages: N.O.S. (New Old Stock) instruments are conditioned as if the guitar was discovered in a<br />

warehouse after many years, never played and showing no signs of age or wear and tear; Closet<br />

Classic guitars show their age a bit, with minor dings and scratches and slightly aged hardware; Relic models look as if the guitar has been<br />

used nearly daily for years. <strong>The</strong> fi nish is heavily worn, the hardware is rusty, and overall the guitar looks as though it has seen years touring<br />

and playing clubs. We have access to Fender’s entire Custom Shop line, so if you don’t see your axe of choice, give us a call and we’ll get it!<br />

Merle Haggard<br />

Signature Telecaster<br />

<strong>The</strong> “Telecaster twang” is synonymous with country music,<br />

and few players had an impact on modern country like Merle<br />

Haggard. <strong>The</strong> Merle Haggard Signature Telecaster<br />

merges these two country legends into a truly stunning tone<br />

machine. <strong>The</strong> maple center block is flanked by tonechambered<br />

select alder wings and topped by a figured maple<br />

top with ivoroid binding. Electronically, a pair of Texas Special<br />

single coils are wired to a 4-way switch that offers access to<br />

the neck and bridge pickups individually along with pairings<br />

in both series and parallel for more sonic options. <strong>The</strong> neck is<br />

made from figured maple and is set rather than the Fenderstandard<br />

bolt-on. Gold hardware and a mother-of-pearl<br />

“Tone Dog” headstock further accentuate this rocker!<br />

Fender celebrates the life and music of punk icon Joe<br />

Strummer with the Joe Strummer Telecaster. At the<br />

four decades of music styles. Gibson’s close relationship with musicians is evident in signature models from<br />

specifications of rock stars Pete Townshend, Jimmy Page, Joe Perry, and more.<br />

50th Anniversary 1958 Les Paul<br />

1958 was a pivotal year for Gibson. <strong>The</strong> Explorer, Flying V, and<br />

ES-335 all first saw the light of day, as did the first non-Goldtop Les Paul,<br />

which is what this limited run Paul <strong>com</strong>memorates. Limited to just<br />

200 instrument worldwide, the 50th Anniversary 1958 Les Paul<br />

celebrates the birth of the Les Paul Standard, arguably the most popular<br />

Les Paul ever built. This beauty is constructed from a mahogany back<br />

with a carved, figured maple top sporting a washed cherry Murphyaged<br />

finish and single-ply cream binding. <strong>The</strong> long tenon mahogany<br />

neck is crowned with a rosewood fingerboard and sports a<br />

period-appropriate 1950s neck profile. Vintage tulip tuners<br />

reside in the holly veneer headstock, with trapezoid neck inlays<br />

and ABR-1 bridge and aluminum tailpiece rounding out the<br />

physical features. Electronically, this Les Paul is loaded with<br />

amazing vintage tone and jaw-dropping looks of the best Les<br />

Pauls — <strong>com</strong>plete with mahogany body and a carved maple<br />

top — with the addition of classy gold-appointed, open-coil ‘57<br />

humbuckers. Reminiscent of the legendary Black Beauty<br />

Les Pauls of the past, this baby is dripping with class. But<br />

a more subdued satin finish, lending the look of a well-loved, well-played instrument<br />

SG Special Faded 3-Pickup<br />

Originally introduced in 1961, the SG Special continues to offer<br />

an exciting <strong>com</strong>bination of looks, functionality, and value that<br />

has made it a much-loved guitar for decades. <strong>The</strong> SG Special<br />

Faded 3-pickup model gives you the playability, tone, and<br />

ornery charm that made the SG famous, with a couple of<br />

twists thrown in. Three humbucking pickups give you high<br />

output and great tonal options, great for everything<br />

from screaming metal leads<br />

to mellow, bluesy runs. <strong>The</strong><br />

slim mahogany body sports a<br />

worn finish for that “broken<br />

in” look — if you didn’t<br />

know better, you’d swear<br />

it had seen quite a bit of<br />

quality stage time. Likewise,<br />

the Flying V Faded 3-pickup<br />

model carries on the retro-futuristic<br />

vibe of a classic axe, with the same<br />

3-pickup configuration and finish<br />

<strong>The</strong> Flying V’s angular and<br />

both eye-catching and easy<br />

to play.<br />

SG Standard<br />

<strong>The</strong> Gibson SG body style has remained in<br />

production nonstop since it was first introduced<br />

in 1961. <strong>The</strong> <strong>com</strong>bination of a double cutaway for upper-fret<br />

access plus the sustain of a mahogany body is still a favorite of guitar<br />

players of all styles. <strong>The</strong> rounded profile mahogany neck has a rosewood fingerboard<br />

with pearloid trapezoid inlays. Schaller green key tuners grace the headstock. Dual<br />

humbuckers, a rosewood fingerboard, and a Tune-O-Matic bridge make<br />

ES-137 Classic<br />

<strong>The</strong> ES-137 Classic <strong>com</strong>bines two classics<br />

— the look of Gibson’s single-cutaway semi-hollowbody<br />

guitars and the hot sound of a Gibson Les Paul Classic. <strong>The</strong> 490R<br />

Modern Classic pickup features tonal characteristics similar to the ‘57<br />

Classic, but delivers a slight increase in the upper mids, and the 498T, with<br />

its higher output and emphasis on mid-ranges and highs, is the perfect rock pickup.<br />

<strong>The</strong> ES-137’s 16" body is beautifully crafted with curly laminated maple with multi-ply<br />

cream binding, and its 22-fret neck is 3-piece maple.<br />

<strong>The</strong> same spirit of innovation that drove Epiphone to push the boundaries of guitar design over 125 years<br />

ago can also be seen in those who chose to play them; musicians who themselves were visionaries.<br />

George Van Epps, Howard Roberts, and Joe Pass would make music history with Epiphone guitars, as would blues legend<br />

John Lee Hooker. <strong>The</strong> most recorded song ever written, “Yesterday,” was recorded with Epiphone guitars the Beatles<br />

purchased in 1964. It is an incredible legacy that continues today with Noel Gallagher, Lenny Kravitz, and other artists who<br />

choose to make their music with Epiphone guitars.<br />

Elitist '65 Casino<br />

In 1964, <strong>The</strong> Beatles went “Epi” when George<br />

Harrison, John Lennon, and Paul McCartney<br />

bought Epiphone Casinos (the Epiphone Casino is mostly<br />

associated with John Lennon). <strong>The</strong> Elitist ‘65 Casino is equipped<br />

with a maple body, mahogany set neck, and a rosewood fingerboard, which imparts a<br />

warm midrange sound. <strong>The</strong> custom-wound pickups add to its classic tonality.<br />

Epiphone Elitist Byrdland is essentially a Gibson L-5 with a<br />

rounded cutaway and shorter, fast neck for quick runs and extended chords. Equipped<br />

with two vintage-style humbuckers, 24k gold hardware, ebony bridge, AAA flame maple<br />

back and sides, and solid spruce top, the Elitist Byrdland offers you vintage jazz tone at a<br />

Tak Matsumoto<br />

Standard<br />

In Japan, Tak Matsumoto is a guitar legend. As leader of the Japanese band, B’z, his<br />

Les Paul has carried him to the top of the charts. <strong>The</strong> Elitist Tak Matsumoto Les<br />

Paul Standard features a quilt-maple top finished in “Takburst,” a unique faded<br />

Black Beauty 3<br />

<strong>The</strong> Les Paul Custom made its debut in 1954, with a 3-pickup<br />

version soon to follow. <strong>The</strong> beautiful ebony finish was a nice<br />

contrast to the standard Goldtop finish of the day, and earned it the nickname “Black<br />

Beauty.” This Les Paul Black Beauty 3 is a recreation of the 3-pickup Custom that<br />

offered guitarists an additional humbucker that expanded the tonal capabilities of<br />

the instrument. <strong>The</strong> mahogany/alder body sports a set mahogany neck and a trio of<br />

for anyone new to the instrument<br />

— there’s nothing small about the tone.<br />

Custom Series<br />

<strong>The</strong> Custom Series holds a special place in the PRS line.<br />

It was the very first production guitar built in the original<br />

Annapolis, Maryland shop on Virginia Avenue. Paul Reed<br />

Smith took the Custom 24 to his first trade show in 1985,<br />

and it’s still the core of the PRS line. It still <strong>com</strong>es with<br />

the patented PRS tremolo bridge, locking tuners, and the<br />

beautifully carved, figured maple top that is a PRS hallmark.<br />

Today, PRS actually builds two versions of the Custom: <strong>The</strong><br />

Custom 24 features 24 frets with HFS bridge and Vintage<br />

neck pickups.<br />

<strong>The</strong> first major change to the PRS Custom model<br />

came in 1993 with the introduction of the Custom<br />

22, which was, in effect, a production version<br />

of the <strong>com</strong>pany’s upscale Dragon guitar. <strong>The</strong><br />

Custom 22 shipped with Dragon II pickups, a<br />

wide-fat neck carve and came standard with<br />

a stop tailpiece, 5-way rotary pickup selector,<br />

and pearl and abalone moon inlays. A PRS<br />

tremolo and a wide-thin neck carve are nocost<br />

options. Upgrades include premium grade<br />

flame or quilt maple tops and abalone bird inlays.<br />

<strong>The</strong> PRS Custom series guitars perform flawlessly to<br />

deliver an evenness of tonal color, amplitude, and<br />

feel, no matter where you are on the fingerboard.<br />

CE Series<br />

During the music explosion of the ‘70s, guitar<br />

makers were rushing to produce enough guitars to<br />

meet demands. Due to sloppy procedures, the bolt-on<br />

neck got a bad rap — when executed properly, the<br />

bolt-on design provides excellent tonal transfer and<br />

ease of repair. That’s what makes the CE 22 such an<br />

outstanding value and exceptional instrument. Paul<br />

Reed Smith is known for using innovative, quality<br />

construction techniques while respecting the history<br />

of the instrument; he put this <strong>com</strong>bination to<br />

good use in the design of this guitar.<br />

<strong>The</strong> CE 22 is a true player’s guitar, with a full<br />

tone, incredible finish, and <strong>com</strong>fortable neck<br />

shape. A beautiful carved figured maple top<br />

is paired with a mahogany back, while the<br />

bolt-on 25"-scale rock maple neck sports a<br />

22-fret rosewood fingerboard. <strong>The</strong> CE 22<br />

is capable of a wide range of great tones,<br />

thanks in part to Dragon II bass and<br />

SE Custom<br />

Semi-Hollow<br />

Paul Reed Smith guitars are known for being as visually<br />

striking as they are great to play. Every detail is refined<br />

with tone and playability in mind. <strong>The</strong> distinctive PRS<br />

SE Custom Semi-Hollow guitar lets you tap into the<br />

signature PRS tone and arresting style at an affordable<br />

price. This looker features a semi-hollow mahogany<br />

body with a single sound hole, paired with a maple<br />

top. This <strong>com</strong>bination of tonewoods <strong>com</strong>bines to create<br />

a sound reminiscent of larger-bodied semi-hollows,<br />

but keeps the body size more on par with traditional<br />

solidbody designs.<br />

<strong>The</strong> 25"-scale, wide-fat mahogany neck<br />

is topped with a rosewood fretboard<br />

with gorgeous PRS-design moon inlays.<br />

Electronically, the SE Custom Semi-Hollow<br />

is equipped with PRS-design treble and<br />

bass humbuckers that provide great<br />

tone and output, and a stoptail bridge<br />

provides great tone and tuning<br />

stability. <strong>The</strong>se stunning instruments<br />

are available in either natural or Blue<br />

Matteo with a black back.<br />

SE Custom<br />

If you’ve been pining for the PRS sound and feel, but<br />

your budget won’t stretch quite far enough to bring<br />

home a Custom 22 or 24 (see page 292), then the PRS<br />

SE Custom serves as your introduction to Paul Reed<br />

Smith tone and quality. <strong>The</strong> SE Custom features a solid<br />

mahogany body with a visually stunning maple cap<br />

with flame maple veneer, a glued-in mahogany neck,<br />

two PRS-designed SE standard humbucking pickups<br />

with zebra coils, and a PRS stoptail bridge.<br />

Designed to take full advantage of the<br />

resonant properties of the guitar, the<br />

PRS stoptail bridge provides direct<br />

transmission of string vibration to the<br />

guitar body and makes set-up a breeze!<br />

<strong>The</strong> mahogany body gives you the<br />

rich midrange, while the maple<br />

cap adds just a touch of high<br />

end to your tone. Speaking<br />

of tone, all PRS pickups are<br />

designed in-house to Paul’s<br />

exacting standards, so you<br />

know when you plug in your<br />

SE Custom there’s no need<br />

to think about hot-rodding<br />

your pickups. <strong>The</strong> SE Custom is<br />

THE SWEETWATER DIFFERENCE — EXPERIENCE IT TODAY! (800) 222-4700<br />

In the ’50s, Eddie Cochrane and Chet Atkins shaped the sound of pop music with Gretsch guitars. In the<br />

’60s, Gretsch defined the sound of <strong>The</strong> Who’s rock opera, Tommy. <strong>The</strong> Beatles used them, and so did<br />

Jimmy Page, Stephen Stills, Brian Setzer, and everyone from Aerosmith to Billy Zoom. In fact, Gretsch guitars are what gave<br />

Bono his “Edge.” In 1967 the Gretsch Company was sold, and without the family dedication that had driven the business for so<br />

many years, the <strong>com</strong>pany began to drift. In 1985, Fred Gretsch III took back his grandfather’s legacy with a little help from his<br />

friends, and has brought back the great Gretsch sound in all its glory with reissues of the finest classic Gretsch guitars.<br />

Brian Setzer Tribute<br />

This is no ordinary “artist signature” tribute guitar — this one’s<br />

true to the original, right down to the last detail. Gretsch introduces<br />

the Custom Shop Limited Edition Brian Setzer Tribute, a<br />

painstaking recreation of the ‘59 6120 Setzer used during the heyday<br />

of the Stray Cats. It could be argued that Setzer was responsible for<br />

bringing Gretsch back into the public eye when the Stray Cats first hit<br />

the airwaves in the ‘80s, and he’s been rockin’, rollin’, and swingin’<br />

with Gretsch ever since. In honor of Setzer’s original instrument,<br />

only 59 of these amazing tribute guitars are being offered. This<br />

single-cutaway hollowbody features a laminated maple top<br />

and body, hard rock maple neck, two TV Jones ® Classic<br />

pickups, an ebony fingerboard with thumbnail fret<br />

markers, and a Bigsby tremolo. Believe it or not, every<br />

sticker and scratch you’d see on Setzer’s original can be<br />

found here — even the wear marks are recreated. And<br />

the hole that used to house a tone switch on Setzer’s<br />

6120? It’s here, too. <strong>The</strong> Custom Shop Limited Edition<br />

Brian Setzer Tribute <strong>com</strong>es <strong>com</strong>plete with a ton of<br />

extras, including a deluxe Relic® cowboy case,<br />

Chet Atkins<br />

Hollow Body<br />

Chet Atkins was a country legend whose unique<br />

playing style was often imitated, but never<br />

duplicated. Nicknamed “Mr. Guitar,” Chet was almost as famous for his work with<br />

Gretsch designing guitars . <strong>The</strong> Chet Atkins Hollow Body is a throwback to the classic<br />

hollowbody guitars Chet made famous in the ‘50s and ‘60s. <strong>The</strong> flame maple top, back,<br />

and sides lend a more modern vibe to this legendary guitar, while the High Sensitive<br />

Filter’Tron pickups and Bigsby B6 tailpiece provide the classic “twang” that made<br />

Gretsch a favorite of country and rockabilly players.<br />

THE SWEETWATER DIFFERENCE — EXPERIENCE IT TODAY!<br />

<strong>The</strong> Sound of Rock and Roll<br />

Marshall Amplification began in 1962 in the UK, where Jim Marshall had a music shop and taught drums.<br />

As drummers came to his shop, so came their guitarist bandmates. <strong>The</strong> guitarists spoke to Jim Marshall<br />

about the guitars they wanted and the qualities they were looking for in an amplifier — qualities that they<br />

couldn’t find anywhere at that time. It was from such conversations that Marshall launched his amp manufacturing business.<br />

It’s a journey that he is still on today and still enjoys as much as ever. Regardless of your playing style and needs, there is a<br />

Marshall setup that’s perfect for you. So, are you ready to rock?<br />

JVM 4-channel Series<br />

4-channel Tube Head<br />

Ultimate Marshall tone, unprecedented control! <strong>The</strong> 100-watt JVM410H all-tube head gives you four<br />

channels, each with three distinct modes: Green, Orange, and Red. <strong>The</strong> channels and modes <strong>com</strong>bine<br />

for a whopping 12 unique amp sounds, allowing you to dial in everything from a clean, pristine tone<br />

(channel 1) to classic crunch (Plexi to JCM800 range, anyone?) on channel 2. From there, Marshall<br />

ups the ante with another gain channel, bringing you great metal and shred tones. <strong>The</strong> fourth<br />

channel adds even more gain (!), unleashing even more rich harmonics and blanketing sustain. Five<br />

ECC83 (12AX7 for us Yanks) preamp tubes and four EL34 power amp tubes are at the heart of this<br />

beast, which can be kept in check remotely with the included 6-way, fully programmable footswitch.<br />

<strong>The</strong> front panel of the JVM410H features the simple, logical kind of layout you’ve <strong>com</strong>e to expect<br />

from Marshall, with dedicated Gain, EQ, Volume, and Reverb controls for each channel. A master<br />

section features dual Master Volume knobs, plus Resonance and Presence controls for quick tonal<br />

tweaks. <strong>The</strong> 1960 Series cabinets, loaded with four 12" Celestion speakers, offer an ideal match to<br />

this head. <strong>The</strong> 1960A is the angled, or “top” cab, while the 1960B is the straight-front bottom. Also<br />

available are the 1960AV and 1960BV cabinets, which contain Marshall/Celestion 70-watt Vintage<br />

Plugging into the Vintage Modern 2266<br />

all-tube, 50-watt head gives you the best of<br />

two great worlds. This single-channel amp<br />

actually functions like two amps from different<br />

eras, courtesy of two footswitchable “dynamic<br />

ranges” that actually change the gain staging<br />

of the 2266’s preamp. Choosing the Low range<br />

gives you vintage Marshall tone and gain, while<br />

the High range lights up an extra preamp tube<br />

for classic rock tones. Modern features include<br />

a master volume, mid-boost switch, and FX<br />

loop. <strong>The</strong> Vintage Modern 2466 gives you<br />

the same features in a 100-watt head, while the<br />

Vintage Modern 2266C is a 50-watt, 2 x 12"<br />

Fender, where amps began!<br />

'57 Amp<br />

Limited Edition 12-watt Handwired All-tube Amp<br />

At heart, Fender’s ‘57 Amp is a reissue of the revered Tweed Deluxe, an<br />

amp with the classic tone that helped propel Fender tube amps to the top<br />

of the “most wanted” list of guitarists the world over. <strong>The</strong> ‘57 Amp boasts<br />

the classic sound of a Tweed Deluxe, but rather than being covered in the<br />

skin <strong>com</strong>monly associated with a tweed amp, the ‘57 Amp is shrouded<br />

in a black “piano-lacquered” dovetail-joint maple cabinet. <strong>The</strong> original<br />

Tweed Deluxe amp of the 1950s is well known for being one of the finest<br />

tone machines ever devised. Fender’s ‘57 Amp ups the ante, updating the<br />

Tweed Deluxe with a 12" Celestion Alnico Blue speaker, and adding all-new<br />

knobs, handle, and other hardware. <strong>The</strong> vibe is very familiar, yet very new<br />

ONLY $84/mo.<br />

and exciting at the same time. Limited run of 300.<br />

'57 Deluxe<br />

12-watt All-tube Combo Amp<br />

Knowing that vintage Fender tube amps are in short<br />

supply, Fender graciously releases the ‘57 Deluxe ,<br />

a handwired all-tube tone machine that’s great for<br />

any style of rock, blues, or country. <strong>The</strong> pine cabinet<br />

is covered in genuine lacquered tweed with vintage<br />

brown/gold grille cloth. Two 12AX7 preamp tubes, along<br />

with a matched pair of Groove Tubes GT6V6 output tubes,<br />

provide the sound we’ve all grown to expect from vintage<br />

Fender tube amps. Fender also thoughtfully incorporated<br />

a 5Y3 rectifier tube, which adds natural tube <strong>com</strong>pression<br />

and “sag” when the amp is pushed harder. <strong>The</strong> ‘57<br />

Deluxe boasts the classic sound of an original Fender<br />

Deluxe amp of the 1950s, which was a medium-powered<br />

amp that quickly gained favor with guitarists of the day<br />

and found its way onto countless live stages and recorded<br />

performances. <strong>The</strong> solid pine cabinet and 12" Jensen<br />

P-12Q speaker — just like the original — further<br />

contribute to the ‘57 Deluxe’s trademark sound.<br />

600<br />

5-watt All-tube Amp<br />

Fender’s 5-watt<br />

Champion 600 is<br />

small on size but big on<br />

tone and style, with a 6"<br />

speaker and classy 2-tone cosmetics. It’s great<br />

for practice or recording. <strong>The</strong> controls couldn’t be<br />

simpler — a single volume knob and an on/off switch.<br />

Fender added a higher-gain preamp circuit to boost the<br />

overdrive and high- or low-gain inputs for sonic options.<br />

This is a great no-fuss way to get classic Fender tube tone<br />

integrated into your setup. <strong>The</strong> original Champ was used<br />

on countless classic recordings from the ‘60s and is still<br />

used today. For tone-obsessed guitarists on a budget, the<br />

Champion 600 is a must have!<br />

Reverb<br />

85-watt Vintage<br />

Reissue Tube Amp<br />

Keith Richards once<br />

said that Fender guitars<br />

sound their best through Fender<br />

amps, and the ‘65 Twin Reverb is a shining<br />

example of that. With 85 watts of pure Fender tube tone,<br />

the Twin Reverb is the epitome of the Fender clean sound,<br />

and gets nice and gritty, too. A pair of 12" Jensen C-12K<br />

speakers and tube-driven reverb and vibrato circuits<br />

<strong>com</strong>plete this wildly popular vintage reissue from the<br />

<strong>com</strong>pany that defined American guitar amplification.<br />

— not to mention that<br />

both the reverb and<br />

vibrato are tube-driven<br />

— the incredible 22-watt<br />

‘65 Deluxe ® Reverb<br />

just bleeds tube tone. A single<br />

12" speaker puts the finishing touches on the fat sounds<br />

conjured by this reissued classic. This is the perfect amp<br />

for anyone who craves pure Fender tone, but doesn’t need<br />

a ton of wattage. Black vinyl and silver grille cloth round<br />

out the vintage look of this beauty.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Blues Junior takes<br />

Fender’s popular 15-watt<br />

tube preamp and power<br />

amp platform (three 12AX7<br />

and two EL84 tubes) and<br />

unleashes it through a 12"<br />

for a thick, overdriven lead sound.<br />

Blues Junior. With its portability and punch, you can’t<br />

tone for a killer blues or rock sound.<br />

Blues Deluxe Reissue<br />

Vintage Combo Amp<br />

Here’s a great throwback<br />

to a bluesier time — the<br />

Blues Deluxe Reissue!<br />

It’s a reissue of the 1993<br />

Fender “Tweed” series<br />

that takes a great old<br />

collectable 1950s Deluxe<br />

and customizes it with channel switching and reverb.<br />

It produces 40 watts into a single 12" Special Design<br />

speaker by Eminence, and features a bright switch,<br />

Celebrate a half-century of incredible Vox tone in style<br />

with this unique, handwired amp! <strong>The</strong> AC15H1TV<br />

MTS Series<br />

Modular Tube<br />

Amplifiers<br />

We all want an amp that’s as<br />

flexible as humanly possible,<br />

able to jump from style to style<br />

at the flip of a switch. Randall<br />

takes that concept a bit further with<br />

their MTS Series of modular tube amps. <strong>The</strong> genius behind the MTS<br />

amps is that you can mix and match your favorite flavors of amps, from British Invasion jangle to<br />

face-melting metal, and everything in between. <strong>The</strong> heart of the MTS series lies in the amp itself, with a 100-watt head<br />

(the RM100S) available. <strong>The</strong> RM100S will hold three, and incorporates 6L6s in the power amp section.<br />

And here’s where the real fun begins: choosing your modules. <strong>The</strong> MTS series of tube preamp modules offers a signature<br />

Dan Donegan module (MTS 1086), a George Lynch signature module (the aptly titled Mr. Scary), a trio of<br />

Kirk Hammet signature modules with Clean, Vintage, and Modern tones (for more Kirk Hammett inspired tones<br />

check out the KH120RHS and corresponding <strong>com</strong>bo amp below). <strong>The</strong>re’s also a whole host of modules that faithfully<br />

mimic some of the most sought-after amps from history, including both British amp manufacturers (Plexi, JTM, and<br />

Top Boost) that powered the rock revolution in the ‘60s, classic American clean tones (Blackface), modern metal<br />

favorites (Treadplate), and even boutique amps (XTC). If you prefer spank to crunch, the Clean module may just be<br />

the ticket. And if you want to get the max out of your RM100S head, add the matched RA412XLS 4 x 12" cabinet.<br />

a stage-worthy 100-watt amplifier, it’s got the sound that<br />

made Edward Van Halen a household name! This head’s<br />

<strong>com</strong>bination of custom-made transformers and special<br />

biasing help you get that elusive “brown sound” that the<br />

legendary guitarist uses so well.<br />

Plus, the 5150III Head’s preamp is designed to add lots<br />

of harmonic content for extremely rich, expressive tone.<br />

<strong>The</strong> included footswitch has color-coded LEDs, allowing<br />

you to switch between any of the amp’s three channels<br />

and effects loop with ease onstage. This magnificent amp<br />

accentuate the harmonics of your playing — are also<br />

available. Per Eddie’s specification, the cabinets are<br />

constructed from premium birch with a bolt-on back<br />

panel to keep the cabinet relatively lightweight and very<br />

resonant. This amp is a must-have for Van Halen fans,<br />

and discerning tone-chasing guitarists will love it, too!<br />

amp <strong>com</strong>bining boutique<br />

features and hot-rodded tones. <strong>The</strong> ValveKing 100 features four 6L6GC and three 12AX7<br />

two 12" ValveKing speakers. <strong>The</strong> 1 x 12" ValveKing 112 runs 50-watts through two<br />

Redesigned with an all new chassis,<br />

the Classic 30/112 features<br />

the same renowned circuitry and<br />

all-tube tone that has defined<br />

Peavey’s successful Classic Series,<br />

first launched in 1991. Weighing just<br />

under forty pounds, the Classic 30/112<br />

is an excellent and feature-filled<br />

portable practice amp that boasts<br />

footswitchable channel selecting and reverb, 3-band<br />

passive EQ, a dedicated effects loop, and external speaker<br />

capability, all in a rugged chrome-plated chassis. Available in beige or black<br />

with tweed covering, the Classic 30/112 pours out warm, versatile tone using one 12AX7<br />

and four EL84 power tubes and a 12" Blue Marvel ® speaker. Both stylish and affordable,<br />

the Classic 30/112 is loaded with features — an excellent value for its price!<br />

ValveKing Royal 8<br />

5-watt All-tube Combo<br />

This little amp gives you amazingly big tone. <strong>The</strong><br />

Peavey ValveKing Royal 8 is a true Class A guitar<br />

amplifier designed to give players the kind of dynamics<br />

and classic tones that hearken back to the early<br />

days of rock and roll. <strong>The</strong> dual-input <strong>com</strong>bo is great<br />

for use as a practice or recording amp, and lets you<br />

dial in tones quickly and easily. Tone is tweaked via<br />

a single knob, and master volume and gain controls<br />

can be adjusted for either Class A “breakup” poweramp<br />

tones or preamp distortion. Guitarists love to<br />

record with small amps such as this one because, by<br />

driving the power section, the amp’s true range of tonal characteristics can be heard at<br />

reasonable volume levels. <strong>The</strong> ValveKing Royal 8’s single-channel design uses one 12AX7<br />

preamp tube and one EL84 power tube to produce much more tone and headroom than<br />

you would expect from such a small package.<br />

JSX Mini Colossal<br />

5-watt, Class A All-tube Combo<br />

<strong>The</strong> Peavey Mini Colossal all-tube Class A guitar<br />

amplifier is living proof that you don’t always need<br />

a big amp to create big tone. In fact, some of the<br />

greatest recorded guitar tones have been obtained by<br />

driving low-wattage amps hard. Peavey collaborated<br />

with the legendary Joe Satriani to create this mini<br />

tone monster, which uses one 12AX7 and an EL84<br />

power tube to pump out five watts of power. An XLR<br />

direct output with mic simulation lets you send the signal from the Mini Colossal directly<br />

to a recording device, while a Power Sponge attenuator adjusts the power output to the<br />

8" speaker. Onboard tremolo adds a vintage vibe.<br />

25-watt Practice Amp<br />

<strong>The</strong> Peavey Rage 258 is one<br />

plenty of sound, pushing 25<br />

watts into an 8", super-duty Blue<br />

has two switchable channels<br />

(clean and lead). <strong>The</strong> Rage 258<br />

features Peavey’s TransTube ®<br />

tube emulation circuitry for<br />

vintage tube sound, a 3-position EQ<br />

voicing-switch (great for blues harp), a 3-band passive EQ, and a<br />

low damping factor that gives you tube amp sound at any volume. Added perks include a<br />

1/4" CD input for jamming along with your favorite bands and even a headphone output<br />

for rehearsing anywhere, anytime. At just eleven pounds, the Rage258 is a versatile amp<br />

and an amazing value!<br />

Backstage<br />

2-channel Mini Combo Amp<br />

<strong>The</strong> big surprise about the Backstage <strong>com</strong>bo<br />

amp is how many features they manage to<br />

pack into it for the money. Those features<br />

include EQ controls, a 6.5" speaker, TransTube ®<br />

overdrive, a tape/CD input for jamming along<br />

to your favorite songs, and a headphone input.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Backstage’s patented TransTube ® preamp<br />

actually tailors the gain level for any amount of<br />

drive and emulates 12AX7 tubes very effectively.<br />

Even mimicking the “push back” response of real tube<br />

circuitry, the Backstage is an excellent, ultra-affordable practice amp,<br />

especially for those guitarists accustomed to interacting with a larger tube amp on stage.<br />

Guitar Player reviewer Barry Cleveland raved about the Backstage in his March 2004<br />

product review: “This is easily one of the best-sounding mini amps I’ve ever heard. It<br />

delivers a great assortment of tube-like tones and offers excellent dynamic response, all<br />

in a pint-sized package and for a very modest price.”<br />

“I had an original GA5T, which was called the Skylark Tremolo model. I love this amp<br />

(the Les Paul Junior) because it gives me that incredible sound I remember from that<br />

amp. Just turn it on and turn it up. Five watts is a LOT of sound from a real tube amp!<br />

Think of a sound that is reminiscent of the early Marshalls on 10. <strong>The</strong> speaker can<br />

actually handle the output now — the original speaker couldn’t. So we have a reissue<br />

that exceeds the tone and performance of the original. Get this<br />

for your vintage amp tones, mic it and go!” —Brian Cravens, Sales Engineer, Ext.1278

Building guitars is more than just a process. For Taylor, it’s a way of life. Construction begins with the selection<br />

of the finest tonewoods the world has to offer. <strong>The</strong> tops, backs, and sides of every full-sized guitar (except the<br />

100 and 200 Series) are crafted from solid wood, which is seasoned and shaped to ensure that it meets Taylor’s<br />

exacting standards. Premium guitar features include ebony bridges and fingerboards. Taylor takes the luthier’s<br />

craft one step further with their innovative NT neck design, Expression System ® electronics, and UV-cured finishes.<br />

T5 Electric/Acoustic<br />

Hybrid<br />

Taylor’s T5 guitars are gaining a stellar reputation for their<br />

ability to bridge the gap between acoustic and electric tones,<br />

and they continue to move the bar. <strong>The</strong> versatile, ultra-playable<br />

from an array of sources: a lipstick tube classic electric bridge<br />

pickup, a dynamic neck pickup that’s actually mounted in<br />

the neck, as well as Taylor’s excellent onboard acoustic<br />

preamp system. You can literally take this guitar from<br />

pristine acoustic sparkle to down-and-dirty grunge,<br />

to warm jazz tones with the flick of a switch. <strong>The</strong><br />

shallow body design imparts a natural acoustic<br />

tone, and it’s a blast to play! You can also get the<br />

T5 with a beautiful koa top.<br />

If you want to take the T5’s tone another step<br />

further (without sacrificing playability), check<br />

THE SWEETWATER DIFFERENCE — EXPERIENCE IT TODAY!<br />

What can we say about Martin guitars that does justice to the supreme quality and desirability of these<br />

exquisite instruments? For 175 years, C.F. Martin & Company has maintained the traditions of oldworld<br />

craftsmanship while creating the archetypal modern acoustic guitar. Using the finest tonewoods,<br />

time-tested bracing, and precision assembly, Martin guitars have a rich, warm sound all their own.<br />

From the original dreadnoughts to the travel-friendly Backpackers, there’s a Martin for every taste. <strong>Sweetwater</strong> was honored to<br />

host the final public showcase of Martin’s one-of-a-kind “millionth” guitar in 2005, and we’re equally proud to offer you the fine<br />

instruments described below.<br />

HD-28<br />

In 1796 a 15 year-old German cabinet maker left his hometown and<br />

traveled to Vienna to apprentice with Johann Stauffer, a renowned<br />

guitar maker at the time. Proving himself a gifted apprentice,<br />

he returned home to open his own shop where he was soon met<br />

with a campaign of criticsm: could an ordinary cabinet maker<br />

have the artistry to create a musical instrument? Unwavering in<br />

his determination to create guitars, C.F. Martin ignored purist<br />

criticism and moved across the ocean to New York City where he<br />

set up his own small shop and soon changed guitar history.<br />

Since then, Martin has continually been a leading,<br />

innovative acoustic guitar manufacturer, creating<br />

instruments loved by guitarists everywhere for<br />

their rich, warm tone, and smooth playability.<br />

When Martin brought the Dreadnought body style<br />

to prominence in 1931, a new era of acoustic<br />

manufacturing began – an era that culminates<br />

with the HD-28. With herringbone trim and<br />

scalloped bracing, many players today consider<br />

the HD-28 to be the best sounding of all<br />

Martin guitars, ever. Featuring a Sitka<br />

spruce top, rosewood sides, and ebony<br />

fingerboard, the classic HD-28 delivers the<br />

tone rightfully born from six generations<br />

of guitar making.<br />

DC-16RE Aura<br />

Aboard a 14-fret cutaway dreadnought with<br />

a solid spruce top and East Indian rosewood<br />

back and sides, the DC-16RE Aura features Fishman<br />

Aura electronics. Six different acoustic “images” are onboard,<br />

matching this guitar’s unique tonal characteristics and giving you an<br />

amazing live playing experience. <strong>The</strong> DC-16RE Aura sounds amazing plugged in, yet also<br />

features time-tested Martin acoustic design and craftsmanship.<br />

D-18<br />

A true American classic, the D-18 was first<br />

introduced in 1931 and is the archetypal 14-<br />

fret Martin dreadnought. Most Americans got<br />

their first look at a D-18 in the hands of another American<br />

classic when Elvis Presley appeared on television playing a 1942<br />

model. With a solid spruce top and solid mahogany back and sides, the D-18 is loud<br />

F512 with D-TAR Pickup<br />

System<br />

Some 12-string models seem to be just glorified versions of their<br />

closest 6-string kin, while the keepers, the ones that have real staying<br />

power, are built from the ground up to be 12-strings — you know<br />

the difference as soon as you pick them up and strum that first<br />

rich chord. Count this great Guild among the best of the latter.<br />

One of the renowned guitar builder’s very first jumbo-shaped<br />

12-string models, the F512 originally appeared in the late 1960s<br />

and helped cement the <strong>com</strong>pany’s reputation as a quality<br />

brand. This modern version sports several of the<br />

features that made the model a popular mainstay,<br />

and boasts a solid AAA Sitka spruce top, solid<br />

rosewood back and sides, and an ebony fretboard<br />

and bridge. An onboard D-TAR Wave-Length pickup<br />

and preamp system gives the F512 with D-TAR<br />

amazing amplified tone reproduction, with easy<br />

access to the volume and tone controls. Now<br />

you can take the lush tones of a classic<br />

12-string to the stage, studio, living room<br />

— anywhere you play it, this 12-string<br />

sounds astounding!<br />

GAD-50PCE<br />

Guild’s legacy of being a leading builder of dreadnought<br />

acoustic guitars reaches back to 1963, and their classic acoustic<br />

instruments are favored by players for their exceptional tone,<br />

responsiveness, outstanding projection, and sustain. <strong>The</strong> Guild<br />

dreadnought is famous for its full-bodied, high-volume sound<br />

that incorporates a special emphasis on string-to-string balance,<br />

ensuring that the treble, mid, and bass tones project evenly.<br />

<strong>The</strong> result is one of the most musically versatile dreadnoughts<br />

anywhere, and a guitar that has been the preferred choice of<br />

guitarists for over 40 years.<br />

<strong>The</strong> GAD-50PCE acoustic/electric cutaway is a<br />

full-sounding, all-solid-wood dreadnought that<br />

gives you that great tone Guild is famous for. <strong>The</strong><br />

dreadnought body shape has been in use for more<br />

than 70 years, and its popularity continues to<br />

this day due to its <strong>com</strong>bination of warmth,<br />

projection, and definition. <strong>The</strong> GAD-50PCE<br />

features a cutaway design, solid spruce<br />

top with scalloped bracing for lively tone,<br />

solid African padauk back and sides,<br />

a one-piece mahogany neck, and a<br />

<strong>The</strong> Fender ® Precision Bass ® , arguably the most popular bass of all time, has long been a favorite of rock bassists<br />

thanks to its fat, punchy, driving sound. <strong>The</strong> original P Bass ® was equipped with a single piece, 4-pole pickup and had<br />

a simple, non-contoured body design. In 1954 the body was contoured with beveled edges for <strong>com</strong>fort. In 1957, the<br />

pickup was changed to a single split-coil design, the headstock was enlarged for stability, and the pickguard was radically changed. <strong>The</strong><br />

‘57 design remains the standard for electric bass.<br />

Butler (Six Feet Under), session ace Carol Kaye, and many others. <strong>The</strong>se unique instruments provide<br />

a <strong>com</strong>bination of sonic firepower and ergonomic design characteristics that defy classification,<br />

which is the main reason such a diverse selection of artists rely on Ibanez basses daily. Many Ibanez basses<br />

SR1000EFM<br />

Prestige<br />

If you’re looking for a solid, well-built<br />

bass guitar that will last you a lifetime,<br />

look no further than the SR Series<br />

<strong>com</strong>bines classic good looks with<br />

premium tonewoods. It’s also surprisingly<br />

lightweight with a superbly balanced,<br />

<strong>com</strong>fort-contoured maple body and<br />

a gorgeous flame maple top and<br />

neck-through construction. <strong>The</strong> 5-piece<br />

maple and bubinga neck has a rosewood<br />

fingerboard and is the thinnest and fastest<br />

in its class. This translates to incredible<br />

playing <strong>com</strong>fort! <strong>The</strong> dual Bartolini<br />

pickups and 3-band EQ deliver<br />

the kind of monster tone usually<br />

associated with custom-built<br />

EDB550<br />

Talk about <strong>com</strong>fortable! <strong>The</strong> EDB550 represents the<br />

evolution of a bass lineup that’s amazingly balanced and<br />

offers the kind of little details players appreciate. <strong>The</strong><br />

original Ibanez Ergodyne EDB basses were constructed<br />

from man-made materials — at the time, the<br />

technology just didn’t exist to manufacture affordable<br />

wood versions in such 3-dimensional ergonomical<br />

shapes. Now, the technology has caught up with the<br />

concept, and the EDB550 is ready for some serious<br />

playing action. Its light ash body joins a slim, ultra-fast<br />

wenge/bubinga neck (with rosewood fretboard),<br />

providing great tone and sustain while keeping<br />

the weight down. Mounted in the EDB550’s<br />

innovative body, two Duncan/Ibanez pickups<br />

provide plenty of rich, expressive tone. Added<br />

tone-shaping capability <strong>com</strong>es courtesy of an<br />

onboard EQ. Form definitely follows function<br />

in the EDB550’s All Access neck joint and deep<br />

cutaways (giving you easy access to the entire<br />

fretboard), sculpted body, and uncluttered<br />

controls. This bass is obviously designed<br />

around the task at hand, rather than<br />

simply being beautiful for beauty’s sake.<br />

If you want massive tone from a no-nonsense<br />

instrument that won’t bust your bank account,<br />

look no further than the SRX590. Ibanez’s<br />

Soundgear Xtreme line of basses is already full<br />

of great-sounding, powerful instruments, but<br />

the SRX590 takes it to another level entirely.<br />

In addition to its beefy PFR-4N neck/PFR4B<br />

bridge pickups, this axe packs an active<br />

EQB-IIDX 2-band equalizer circuit to give you<br />

total <strong>com</strong>mand over your tone. <strong>The</strong> SRX590’s<br />

around on this bass is incredibly easy, thanks<br />

to its fast neck shape, generous cutaways, and<br />

well-balanced design. And when you’re<br />

generating monster tone onstage, the last<br />

thing you want to worry about is staying in<br />

tune, so Ibanez bolted on their super-stable<br />

the Growler doesn’t cut corners. <strong>The</strong> Growler is loaded<br />

ABOUT<br />

Ampeg Ampeg debuted the 300-watt SVT (Super Vacuum Tube) bass amplifier with a matching 8 x 10" cabinet in 1969 in response to the need<br />

for more power as concert venues grew larger and larger. By the end of the year, SVTs were seen backing the Rolling Stones on tour, being used for<br />

both guitar and bass. Still today, the Ampeg SVT is the amp that the most demanding bassists turn to night after night in clubs and arenas — not to<br />

mention recording studios — all around the world.<br />

SVT-3PRO<br />

450-watt Professional Tube Bass Head<br />

<strong>The</strong> SVT sound is, well, classic. But the times have<br />

changed and bass rigs have evolved over the years. Now<br />

rackmounted rigs are <strong>com</strong>monplace, and the perfect<br />

bass head may not <strong>com</strong>e with rack ears. <strong>The</strong> good folks<br />

at Ampeg are well aware of this fact, and offer up the<br />

SVT-PRO Series of rackmountable bass heads with tons of<br />

power and plenty of tone.<br />

Designed for players that want the familiar sound of an<br />

SVT, but need the tone-shaping capabilities afforded by<br />

modern bass amp designs, SVT-3PRO and SVT-4PRO<br />

are 450-watt and 1,200-watt bass heads, respectively.<br />

Both models are loaded with 9-band EQs, three 12AX7<br />

tubes in the preamp stage with the SVT-3PRO adding<br />

another 12AX7 and a 12AU7 for additional drive. Either<br />

of these brutes provides the perfect front end to a bass<br />

rig, blending the best of vintage and modern into a single<br />

unit with plenty of attitude. When you’re in need of some<br />

serious bass amplification, Ampeg always fits the bill.<br />

Check out our full line of SVT cabinets to round out your<br />

new bass rig!<br />

SVT-CL<br />

300-watt All-tube Bass Amp<br />

Since 1969, the Ampeg SVT has been the amp<br />

head that set the standard for bass amplification.<br />

<strong>The</strong> crunchy, punchy tones are unmistakable,<br />

and bassists worldwide have clung to them since<br />

their inception. <strong>The</strong> SVT-CL is arguably one<br />

of the most popular bass heads ever, with users<br />

ranging from P-Funk to Kiss and all points in<br />

between. Three-hundred tube-driven watts offer<br />

up tones that are pure signature Ampeg. A 3-band<br />

EQ and 5-position mid-tone control switch lets you sculpt your perfect bass sound. Your custom bass tones can be<br />

passed through the amp and directly to a mixer or recording deck via the DI output. <strong>The</strong> SVT performs double-duty as<br />

a super-high-power guitar amp as well. To get a hint as to<br />

what the SVT can do for your guitar sound, check out the<br />

classic rock documentary Gimme Shelter, as the Stones<br />

used SVTs extensively during that tour.<br />

For SVT fans that are in need of even more power or need<br />

to watch the budget, the SVT-450H is a 450-watt solidstate<br />

head with MOSFET circuitry that faithfully mimics<br />

SVT-style tube distortion. <strong>The</strong>re’s a good reason why the<br />

SVT is the standard by which all other amps are judged<br />

— shouldn’t you plug into one and see why? Don’t forget<br />

the SVT cabinet (left) to <strong>com</strong>plete that classic SVT sound!<br />

A great bass sound stems from two things: power and tone. <strong>The</strong> right amount of power<br />

allows the lowest bass notes to be faithfully reproduced while the higher notes are good<br />

and punchy. SWR brings you a bass amp head with new tone-shaping features, beefier<br />

and more effective power delivery, and a brand-new 5-year transferable warranty:<br />

the 400-watt WorkingPro 400. It <strong>com</strong>es loaded with a 4-band active EQ, Aural<br />

Enhancer , automatic limiter/<strong>com</strong>pressor, pre/post EQ XLR output, and sidechain effects<br />

loop. <strong>The</strong> Bass Intensifier circuit makes a 400-watt amp sound like a 700-watt monster.<br />

Of course, you’ll need a cabinet for your head, such as the WorkingPro 410. <strong>The</strong> four<br />

10" speakers and 400 watts of power handling offer plenty of great bass tone.<br />

1215<br />

500-watt Bass Combo<br />

Trace Elliot bass amps are known<br />

for their power and tone-shaping<br />

capabilities. Sporting a 12-band<br />

EQ, the 1215 may just offer<br />

the most tone-shaping options<br />

of any bass amp around. Those<br />

12 bands are augmented by six<br />

footswitchable features that include<br />

pre-shape, valve (to add warmth or<br />

overdrive), dual-band <strong>com</strong>pressor<br />

with separate controls for the high<br />

and low bands, effects loop with<br />

level control, and an output mute<br />

(mutes all outputs except tuner<br />

1215<br />

out). <strong>The</strong> 1215 boasts<br />

a 15" Celestion with a<br />

cabinet tuned to 42Hz<br />

for low-end punch!<br />

A “valve” control<br />

lets you dial in great<br />

tube-style distortion<br />

AH1000-12<br />

for the perfect amount<br />

of crunch. An XLR<br />

out serves as a DI for live or studio use. <strong>The</strong> AH-1000-12 head shares many of the same<br />

features found on the 1215 <strong>com</strong>bo, including pre-shape for the classic Trace sound, valve<br />

for warmth or overdrive, 12-band classic Trace Elliot EQ, and a dual band <strong>com</strong>pressor. <strong>The</strong><br />

only difference is, the AH1000-12 does it all in stereo.<br />

VB-2<br />

225-watt All-tube<br />

Bass Head<br />

Since the dawn of<br />

amplification, tubes have<br />

been an integral part of tone.<br />

Even bassists have taken<br />

advantage of the punch and<br />

crunch that a only a tubedriven<br />

amp can provide. <strong>The</strong> Peavey VB-2 bass amplifier head gives you amazing tonal<br />

options, with headroom to spare when you need it. Everybody knows that tube watts are<br />

much louder than solid-state watts, and the 225-watt VB-2 takes full advantage of it.<br />

<strong>The</strong> all-tube preamp and power sections — populated by a pair of 12AX7s with a 12AT7<br />

and six EL34s respectively — let you dial in everything from crystal clear and punchy<br />

to growling and edgy,<br />

and its active EQ features<br />

a multi-frequency mid<br />

adjustment, allowing you<br />

to be heard no matter what<br />

stage you’re on — and<br />

sound great in the process!<br />

If you want to harness real<br />

tube tone for your bass<br />

rig, the VB-2 is your head!<br />

Match it up with Peavey’s<br />

great-sounding, road-ready<br />

Tour Series cabinets,<br />

If your preference is to play<br />

the smaller to medium-size<br />

venues, there’s no reason why<br />

you shouldn’t have the same<br />

Hartke sound quality and<br />

feature set as the big arena rigs. You deserve it and so does your audience. <strong>The</strong> Hartke<br />

2500 inherits a sonic fortune from the older and wiser HA3500 while receiving a shiny<br />

new silver face in the process. Its 250 watts will fill the room, and the built-in variable<br />

<strong>com</strong>pressor keeps your sound defined. Additional tone-shaping features include a<br />

10-band graphic EQ that gives you a broad enough base (no pun intended) to optimize<br />

your sound and cope with any unexpected acoustic conditions that gigging from room to<br />

room can bring. Other pro features include selectable passive or active inputs, tube and<br />

solid-state preamps, a high-low-frequency contour control, and an XLR direct out. <strong>The</strong><br />

5500 offers similar features with 500 watts of power.<br />

<strong>The</strong> HyDrive Series <strong>com</strong>bos from<br />

Hartke offer another bass innovation from<br />

the <strong>com</strong>pany that gave us the punchy<br />

legendary Hartke aluminum cone with a<br />

traditional paper cone. <strong>The</strong> result:<br />

an entirely new speaker that<br />

blends the amazing midrange<br />

of the aluminum cone speaker<br />

with the warmth of a traditional<br />

paper cone speaker. <strong>The</strong>re are<br />

<strong>The</strong> 210c is loaded with a pair of<br />

the innovative speakers in the 10"<br />

Hartke came to <strong>Sweetwater</strong> to show us these modern marvels, they brought none other<br />

than bassist extraordinaire Stu Hamm, who treated us to an hour-long solo bass concert<br />

using the HyDrive-equipped cabinet. Needless to say, these speakers deliver in a way that<br />

THE SWEETWATER DIFFERENCE — EXPERIENCE IT TODAY!<br />

It’s all about Line 6<br />

What was life like before Line 6?<br />

Imagine being in a stuffy recording studio<br />

already brimming with guitars, amps, and<br />

stompboxes, and everything’s ground to a halt<br />

because the guitarist is looking for that elusive<br />

“it” sound that sits just right on a track.<br />

Picture a stage with a monster backline of<br />

amplifi ers and harried roadies running on- and<br />

offstage with guitars, looking like ball boys at<br />

a tennis match as they try to keep up with the<br />

band’s need for tonal variety.<br />

In the mid-1990s came a change, however.<br />

Line 6 created the world’s fi rst digital modeling<br />

amp, the AxSys 212, providing guitarists with<br />

dozens of classic amp models, as well as<br />

modeled stompbox and effects. Just around<br />

the corner came more Line 6 amp varieties,<br />

more models, and fi nally, the next step: POD.<br />

Representing the next step in guitar recording,<br />

POD freed players not only from being limited<br />

by their amps, but even from being limited by<br />

their recording environments. Now guitarists<br />

could get great tone anywhere, anytime, from<br />

a few simple knob twists on Line 6’s distinctive<br />

kidney bean-shaped units. <strong>The</strong> POD line has<br />

expanded to include bass models, fl oor and<br />

rackmount versions for live use, even new<br />

expanded models that include guitar, bass, and<br />

even vocal modeling capabilities.<br />

<strong>The</strong> newest generation of Line 6’s (now) old<br />

standby, the modeling amp, has emerged with<br />

an amazing convergence of up-to-the minute<br />

digital modeling technology and classic tube<br />

amp power.<br />

It’s Line 6’s world. We’re just playing in it.<br />

Pocket POD<br />

Portable Amp and Effects Modeler<br />

Line 6 packed 300-plus presets, 32 great amp models, 16<br />

cabinet models, and 16 effects into a unit roughly the<br />

size of a handheld tuner (that’s built-in, too)! You can<br />

use the Pocket POD as an effective practice tool, or as a<br />

full-blown multi-FX processor with your amp. It includes<br />

a USB connection and access to free editing and tone<br />

library software!<br />

POD X3<br />

Dual-channel Amp and Effects Modeler for<br />

Guitar and Vocal<br />

Leave it to Line 6 to up the ante, this time bringing you a POD<br />

that’s capable of accepting two separate input sources at once.<br />

<strong>The</strong> new flagship of the POD line, POD X3 lets you plug in two<br />

guitars at the same time, or even a guitar and a vocal! That’s<br />

right: POD X3’s onboard models include mic preamps, too.<br />

You can run each input source into an entireley independent<br />

signal chain to double your fun. If you’re just plugging one<br />

guitar in, though, the fun is just beginning — POD X3 lets<br />

you play through two amp and effects chains at the same<br />

time! Loaded with over 100 amp/cab models, an assortment<br />

of top-notch mic preamp models, and over 90 modeled<br />

effects, POD X3 is an incredibly versatile tool for any player.<br />

POD X3 Live puts all this functionality into a stage-worthy<br />

box, <strong>com</strong>plete with 12 footswitches, expression pedal, and<br />

easy-to-reach knobs. Both units <strong>com</strong>e loaded up with<br />

every model available for POD including bass models, a<br />

Variax input, USB 2.0 connectivity, and S/PDIF out.<br />

PODxt<br />

Amp and Effects Modeler<br />

Line 6’s PODxt gives you an astounding array of painstakingly<br />

modeled amps, dozens of classic stompbox<br />

models, and even microphone models — all<br />

housed inside PODxt’s distinctively-shaped<br />

<strong>com</strong>pact chassis. With 128 user/factory<br />

presets , you’ll have instant access to an<br />

unbelievable collection of classic guitar<br />

rigs. Imagine the sonic possibilities of<br />

having all the coolest amps, cabs, mics,<br />

stompboxes, and studio reverbs all<br />

tweaked, wired-up, and ready to go. and<br />

PODxt has a USB port for direct digital<br />

<strong>com</strong>puter recording. And its flash-based<br />

memory means easy upgrades to keep your<br />

PODxt on the cutting edge. PODxt Live puts all<br />

that functionality and tone into a handy pedal-style<br />

unit, and piles on 80 more great effects models courtesy<br />

of the included Effects Junkie Pack. <strong>The</strong> PODxt Pro<br />

packs all that POD power and more into a top-notch<br />

rackmountable unit.<br />

POD 2<br />

Guitar Modeling and Effects Processor<br />

When POD first arrived on the scene, it revolutionized guitar<br />

amp modeling. Now, POD is everywhere — the biggest tours, the<br />

biggest records, the rigs of some of the best guitarists around. <strong>The</strong><br />

really cool thing is how guitarists of all styles love POD 2. It’s the<br />

huge variety of amp modeling options that pulls them in, but it’s<br />

the remarkable detail and realism of the sound that keeps them. In<br />

short, POD 2 sounds so much like the real thing, you won’t believe<br />

your ears. You get 32 customizable models of some of the world’s<br />

most legendary amps including 1952 Fender Deluxe, 1995 Mesa<br />

Boogie Dual Rectifier Head, 1964 Fender Deluxe, 1990 Marshall<br />

JCM-800, 1989 Soldano SLO Super Lead Overdrive, and tons<br />

more. POD 2 not only “models” the amp or cabinet, but<br />

also the way a real cabinet sounds when recorded with a<br />

microphone. <strong>The</strong>re are also 16 pro quality digital effects<br />

such as Reverb, Compressor, Flange, and many more. All<br />

settings can be instantly tweaked and saved for further<br />

recall from any of the onboard 36 presets. Also available:<br />

Rather than offer a smattering of generic echos and delays, the Line 6 DL4 Modeler<br />

Phase 90<br />

A modern classic! <strong>The</strong>re’s no easier way to get swirling,<br />

shimmering phase effects than with the MXR Phase 90.<br />

This <strong>com</strong>pact pedal’s single speed control lets you go from a<br />

slow, subtle wave effect to all-out watery warble — and, as<br />

any guitar guru worth his or her salt will tell you, the mark<br />

of a truly great effects pedal is how cool it sounds when you<br />

crank it all the way open. This one absolutely fits the bill!<br />

<strong>The</strong> Phase 90 has found favor with such luminaries as Eddie<br />

Van Halen, Nancy Wilson, and Dave Grohl, to name just a<br />

few. And its amazingly rich effect doesn’t just make guitars<br />

sound great; the Phase 90 works equally well with keyboards,<br />

bass, and vocals. It’s housed in a druable metal enclosure<br />

and features a bright<br />

indicator light, and a<br />

premium-quality switch.<br />

Tremolo<br />

If you love the buttery, vintage tremolo effect<br />

your favorite guitarists achieve onstage and<br />

in the studio, rest assured that many of them<br />

are getting it from this incredible trem pedal.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Tremolo pedal actually uses the very<br />

same lamp/photocell assembly that’s found<br />

in some of the most popular vintage guitar<br />

amplifiers to provide classic trem tone and<br />

vibe. In addition, the Tremolo’s slope control<br />

lets you veer from smooth, vintage-style vibe<br />

all the way to hard on/off strobe-like effects.<br />

You can use this versatile pedal’s speed and intesity<br />

controls to go from a subtle, slow throb to a staccato stutter. A<br />

Sparkle Drive<br />

Take the sound and vibe of a vintage 808 distortion pedal,<br />

add an adjustable “clean” control, pack it into a sturdy,<br />

stage-worthy metal housing, and you’ve got a versatile<br />

winner that will never leave your pedalboard. Voodoo Lab’s<br />

Sparkle Drive pedal lets you pour on the drive for great<br />

overdrive and distortion tones, while adding a clean twist:<br />

a separate clean control knob adds a boosted direct (clean)<br />

signal to the distorted sound, allowing you to restore attack<br />

and note definition. Depending on the adjustment, you can<br />

go from an aggressive bark with enhanced bite to a totally<br />

clean, transparent gain boost — perfect for driving the<br />

front end of a tube amp for even more cool tone options! <strong>The</strong><br />

hand-built Sparkle Drive also features true bypass switching.<br />

footswitches, and large, easy-to-use control knobs that<br />

are perfect for onstage tweaking. Distortion III gives you<br />

controls for Output, Tone, and Distortion, allowing you<br />

to go from natural grit and overdrive to intense, searing<br />

distortion. It’s great for kicking your solos up a notch,<br />

overdriving your amp’s input, or providing realistic<br />

amp tones on its own. <strong>The</strong> Distortion III is a proven<br />

distortion stompbox and is as versatile as they <strong>com</strong>e.<br />

a stompbox like this!<br />

Crossroads<br />

Eric Clapton Artist Series Modeling Pedal<br />

<strong>The</strong>re are two ways to get the sound Eric Clapton had<br />

on his classic tracks with psychedelic-blues powerhouse<br />

Cream, Derek and the Dominos, and later as a solo act.<br />

One way is to buy the amps, guitars, effects, and mics<br />

used for the sessions. Or, you can buy a Crossroads<br />

pedal, which emulates the tones of seven classic Clapton<br />

songs: “Badge,” “Crossroads,” “Sunshine of Your Love,”<br />

“Layla” (both the 1970 original and the unplugged<br />

version), “Lay Down Sally,” and “Reptile.” With a<br />

single stompbox, you can now mimic some of the most<br />

famous guitar sounds ever from one of the world’s most<br />

revered axe slingers.<br />

X-Series Pedals<br />

Great pedals can be the difference between tones that “wow” and a sound that falls flat.<br />

Whether it’s phase shifting, distortion, or delay, the right effect can really tie your song<br />

together. <strong>The</strong> DigiDelay ® pedal, just one of DigiTech’s X-Series, gives you up to four<br />

seconds of delay and lets you select various delay types, such as stereo ping-pong and<br />

tape delay, plus tap tempo so you can set the delay time exactly to the beat. <strong>The</strong> Hot<br />

Rod TM pedal offers up a great dirty “rock” tonal palette. At the top end of the distorto-meter<br />

<strong>com</strong>es the Metal Master TM . Both have spectral-contouring EQ and a second<br />

output with cabinet emulation so you can go direct to your board or recorder. <strong>The</strong> Multi<br />

Chorus ® is a true multi-voice pedal, with up to 16 voices of lush chorus flowing from<br />

your speakers. It even has randomization that thickens the chorusing<br />

further as you add more voices, and switchable cabinet emulation.<br />

Do you need a whole mess o’ boogie for your guitar? Is your<br />

Hendrix Pedal<br />

blues sounding a little too mellow yellow? Does your metal<br />

sound dead when you try to shred? DigiTech has the answer:<br />

Bad Monkey TM produces the smooth natural character of<br />

Jimi Hendrix sent ripples through the guitar world like few<br />

an overdriven tube amp while maintaining your guitar’s<br />

others have. <strong>The</strong> Jimi Hendrix Experience TM pedal was<br />

distinct tone. Low and high tone controls give you the<br />

created referencing the original master tapes at Electric<br />

ability to boost or cut the bass and treble frequencies for<br />

Lady Studios with legendary producer Eddie Kramer. <strong>The</strong><br />

just the right sound; the Screamin’ Blues TM is designed<br />

presets include lead sounds for “Purple Haze,” “Little<br />

for guitarists who need a pedal that responds to playing<br />

Wing,” “Voodoo Child,” “All Along the Watchtower,” “Foxey<br />

dynamics. Playing lightly gives you mild overdrive, but<br />

Lady,” “Wind Cries Mary,” and “<strong>The</strong> Star-Spangled Banner”<br />

ultra-rich harmonics and sustain. <strong>The</strong> multipurpose Hot<br />

flexible tone-shaping, so even though this distortion is<br />

THE SWEETWATER DIFFERENCE — EXPERIENCE IT TODAY!<br />

ToneLab LE<br />

Guitar Effects Pedal<br />

with Modeling and<br />

Tube<br />

Vox’s approach to<br />

modeling classic<br />

amps and cabs is to<br />

use a tube-driven<br />

circuit that actually<br />

reconfigures itself so its characteristics are<br />

the same as the amps it’s modeling (Class A, Class AB, negative feedback<br />

circuit, etc.). This reconfiguration process is based around a 12AX7 dual triode tube, a virtual output<br />

transformer, and a dummy speaker circuit that simulates the reactive load of a real speaker. <strong>The</strong> latest generation<br />

in the ToneLab line is the ToneLab LE.<br />

Offering 16 sonically outstanding models including Vox’s own AC30, plus a range from classics to built-to-order<br />

handmade amps, the ToneLab LE is sure to please even the most discriminating guitarists. Eleven cabinet models<br />

replicate the cabinet shape and the number and type of speakers. Vox doesn’t ignore the legions of effects fans<br />

either; the ToneLab LE is loaded with new distortion models, 16 pedal types, 11 each of modulation effects, delays,<br />

and reverbs. To connect to a <strong>com</strong>puter for recording, the ToneLab LE has a S/PDIF output plus MIDI I/O. A single<br />

expression pedal puts control over the effects at your feet. Amp, cabinet, and effects settings can be saved into 120<br />

program locations, and for each of these, two channels can be saved. For the meat and potatoes of rock, Vox is<br />

your box.<br />

V847A Wah<br />

Vintage Reissue Wah<br />

Pedal<br />

Introduced in 1967, the Vox<br />

wah-wah made a name<br />

for itself in the rock n’<br />

roll history books. <strong>The</strong><br />

sound of a Vox wah<br />

is unmistakable,<br />

and this reissue is<br />

the closest a Vox wah<br />

has been to the original<br />

design since the ‘60s. <strong>The</strong><br />

V847A is totally authentic, built to<br />

the exact specifications of the original with some minor<br />

design enhancements to further improve the sound<br />

quality. From the classic chrome foot controller to its<br />

redesigned inductor for the closest tone to the original as<br />

humanly possible, this is the classic wah. Vox also added<br />

an input buffer to prevent loading of the guitar signal.<br />

Vintage Overdrive Distortion Pedals<br />

<strong>The</strong> newest members of the Tonebone Series<br />

continue Radial’s tradition of creating actual tubedriven<br />

pedals that preserve the integrity of your<br />

tone. <strong>The</strong> Tonebone Classic is an extremely<br />

flexible distortion pedal with three drive settings<br />

and a variable drive control so you can dial in<br />

anything from dirt to drastic and everything in<br />

between. With the Tonebone TriMode, Radial<br />

offers the best of five generations of classic<br />

American tube amps with the simple push of a button.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Tonebone Plexitube faithfully replicates the sound and feel of a classic<br />

Marshall Plexi, with clean, rhythm, and lead tones all contained in a single box.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Tonebone Hot British takes you from fat, hot-wired Marshall tones to<br />

huge scooped mid sounds. Based on high-gain amplifier designs, it’s tailored to<br />

extract ultra-rich harmonics and saturated tube settings without mud or noise.<br />

Radial loaded the Tonebone pedals with extremely high-quality <strong>com</strong>ponents<br />

to make sure that every aspect of your guitar’s tone makes it to your speaker.<br />

All four models employ true bypass, and the Plexitube and TriMode both have<br />

effects loops on their lead channels. Radial has found a place in the rigs of<br />

some of the most discerning ears in music. Doesn’t your guitar deserve the<br />

best tone imaginable?<br />

<strong>The</strong> Radial JX•2 Switchbone is an AB-Y box that’s designed to let an electric<br />

guitar drive two amplifiers at the same time without introducing noise, hum,<br />

or coloration into the signal path. <strong>The</strong> Boost Switch increases volume for solos<br />

or switching from using both amps down to one. <strong>The</strong> primary signal path is<br />

pure Class A for minimal coloration. <strong>The</strong> JX•2 doesn’t use chips or op amps in<br />

the primary audio circuit — the main concern is sound quality, and the JX-2<br />

truly delivers!<br />

THE SWEETWATER DIFFERENCE — EXPERIENCE IT TODAY!<br />

Few effect pedals have had the sonic impact of<br />

the wah-wah pedal, with its ability to bend a<br />

tone from one extreme to the other by simply<br />

rocking the pedal back and forth. <strong>The</strong> sound<br />

mimicked crying, hence the name. <strong>The</strong><br />

Crybaby wah-wah pedal was made famous<br />

by the burning licks of such guitar greats as<br />

Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton in the ‘60s, and has now<br />

found a home beneath the feet of recent guitar legends such as Slash and Joe<br />

Satriani. Also available: the Crybaby 535Q Multi-Wah, with an adjustable frequency<br />

sweep and adjustable,<br />

footswitchable boost.<br />

Jimi Hendrix Fuzz Face<br />

Vintage Reproduction Fuzz Pedal<br />

Jimi Hendrix was able to mold his guitar tones<br />

into incredible sonic textures and shapes,<br />

using only a few effects in addition to<br />

his cranked-up amp and guitar. In the<br />

process, he created an iconic sound that<br />

still makes jaws drop nearly 40 years<br />

later. Now you can use some of his favorite<br />

tools, painstakingly brought back to life<br />

by Dunlop. <strong>The</strong> Jimi Hendrix Fuzz Face<br />

is a faithful recreation of the fuzz pedal the<br />

guitar legend used to launch an incredible array<br />

of revolutionary sounds, styles, and songs. Dunlop<br />

went through several vintage Dallas Arbiter Fuzz<br />

Face units, picking a select few and closely examining<br />

them for accurate reproduction. As a result, this<br />

Jimmy Hendrix Fuzz Face stays true to the best of<br />

the originals, including a handwired circuit board,<br />

original-style circular housing and knobs with a<br />

turquoise hammertone finish.<br />

<strong>The</strong> cool white Jimi Hendrix Octavio octave divider gives<br />

you a stellar recreation — right down to every knob,<br />

jack, switch, and circuit. Considered the “holy grail”<br />

of octave fuzz pedals, this“octave up” pedal was used<br />

by Hendrix to achieve incredible tonal textures. <strong>The</strong><br />

Crybaby Jimi Hendrix Signature Wah offers<br />

the same throaty, expressive tone of the original.<br />

It also shares the original’s flashy chrome top and<br />

black crinkle body finish.<br />

Brew up some voodoo tone<br />

with these classic pedals!<br />

Womanizer<br />

Put some tube amp feel<br />

in your guitar tone!<br />

<strong>The</strong> Womanizer<br />

utilizes two 12AX7 tubes<br />

to provide distortion with<br />

dual-cascading gain stages<br />

and tube output, emulating the<br />

feel and sound of a tube <strong>com</strong>bo.<br />

<strong>The</strong> analog opto-<strong>com</strong>pression adds thickness to clean<br />

guitar tones and warmth and sustain to lead riffs. For<br />

recording, the Womanizer accurately emulates classic<br />

rock-style guitar tones — specifically tube <strong>com</strong>bos found<br />

on countless rock recordings from the ‘70s.<br />

Glass Nexus<br />

Put a rack full of amazing<br />

studio-quality effects<br />

right at your feet! <strong>The</strong><br />

Glass Nexus is a<br />

tube-driven multieffects<br />

box providing<br />

This digital pedal sports a 96kHz processing path for<br />

signal purity, making it an ideal <strong>com</strong>panion for toneconscious<br />

Selecting the right strings for your guitar or bass is every bit as personal as selecting the instrument itself — the elements of feel, musical style, and<br />

player’s physicality are all factors that must be taken into account. As such, a certain amount of experimentation is necessary. <strong>The</strong> subtle differences in<br />

the way a string feels, how long it sustains, and its durability are determined by a number of factors including raw material type, tensile strength, and most<br />

importantly, the size-ratio of the wrap to core wires. Since each string manufacturer has their own unique formula resulting in a different feel and sound,<br />

<strong>Sweetwater</strong> carries the widest possible range of strings from all the top string <strong>com</strong>panies and guitar makers. If you need help finding the perfect strings to<br />

Guitar Polish<br />

Wood has to resonate in order to produce<br />

sound, and a guitar that’s covered in grime<br />

not only looks dull, but it sounds dull since the<br />

wood can’t vibrate properly. But you can’t just<br />

use any polish. This Gibson Guitar Polish is<br />

formulated for nitro-cellulose lacquer. Use with<br />

a Gibson Polish Cloth for best results.<br />

Finger-Ease<br />

Guitar strings are subject to airborne corrosives<br />

that cause them to tarnish and pit, making<br />

them more difficult to play. Finger-Ease spray<br />

allows your fingers to glide without friction<br />

along the strings, cutting down on fudged notes<br />

and sore fingertips. Finger-Ease does all this<br />

without mucking up your strings or fretboard.<br />

G7th Performance Capo<br />

A capo’s a capo, right? Not anymore! <strong>The</strong> G7th<br />

Performance capo sports a unique spring-and-clutch<br />

design that secures the capo<br />

“<strong>The</strong> G7th Capo is quite literally one of the best I have ever<br />

used. <strong>The</strong> design is quite different in that it uses a clutch<br />

system with a spring rather than just a spring. <strong>The</strong> result is no<br />

re-tuning due to less pressure on the strings — no matter the<br />

size of the fret! <strong>The</strong> design is amazing and<br />

innovative to say the least! “<br />

Acoustic Feedback<br />

Acoustic guitar bodies<br />

they can generate nasty<br />

stop pesky feedback at its source,<br />

effectively plugging the soundhole. It installs in seconds,<br />

XDR95<br />

Rackmountable Digital Wireless<br />

System for Guitar and Bass<br />

Using a rackmounted effects rig rather than a<br />

pedalboard, but still want to take advantage of the clarity<br />

and freedom of the X2 wireless system? No problem, with<br />

the XDR95! <strong>The</strong> rackmountable unit plugs straight<br />

into your effects rig and lets you broadcast crystal-clear,<br />

<strong>com</strong>pander-free signal from your guitar to your amp.<br />

<strong>The</strong> XDR95 boasts a longer transmission range than its<br />

stompbox counterpart, so if playing huge gigs at stadiums<br />

is on the horizon, you can freely roam the stage with no<br />

fear of getting out of range and experiencing a dropout.<br />

Like the XDS95, the XDR95 operates at 900MHz, which<br />

means that it will be immune to be<strong>com</strong>ing obsolete<br />

or interfered with in 2009 when the use of the current<br />

wireless frequency bands change hands. It’s pretty clear<br />

that as the world evolves, everything will be going digital.<br />

X2 is a step ahead of the curve, bringing digital wireless<br />

to the masses today!<br />

connect the 1/4" output plug directly to your amp, make<br />

sure your transmitter and the XDR-1 receiver are set to the<br />

same channel, and you’re ready to go! High-quality A/D<br />

resolution gives you the best possible signal quality, and the<br />

onboard LED display shows power, link, channel, battery,<br />
