GHS Boomers GBL 6-String Roundwound Electric Guitar Strings Light 10-46 GHS have been manufacturing high-quality guitar strings in the USA since 1964. The Boomers® series are and have been the flagship set of GHS Strings since day one. Used by musicians in every genre, the Boomers® have shown to stand up to any playing style. Now known as “The Power String”, GHS Boomers® continue to make their mark on music across the world. The roundwound guitar set is made with Nickel-Plated steel wrapped tightly around a round core wire. The combination provides the string with its bright characteristic and long-lasting tone. Nitro-Pack singles for fresh strings every time GHS’s Nitro-Packs use a revolutionary packaging method to ensure each one of your guitar strings is brand-new and corrosion free when you open the pack. Each string is individually housed in a nitrogen-sealed packet that eliminates any oxygen from around the metal. This sterile environment protects the string from any contaminant and corrosive, and the tear-proof packets have a transparent side for help identifying each string before having to expose them to oxygen. All of this goes into making sure that when you put a set of GHS strings on your guitar, you’re getting the freshest and most clear-sounding strings possible.
Yamaha CLP765GP Clavinova Digital Piano More than a century of building some of the world’s finest acoustic pianos and unparalled electronics expertise combine in what is one of the finest Digital Pianos that Yamaha have ever offered. Powerful 2-way speaker system, Bluetooth® Audio functionality and a superb GrandTouch-S keyboard with wooden keys offer unprecedented performance capability to pianists of all abilities and this digital piano never needs tuning – ever. • New Yamaha CFX and Bösendorfer Imperial piano samples • Yamaha CFX and Bösendorfer binaural sampling • 38 voices, including 2 fortepiano voices (Mozart Piano/Chopin Piano) • Incredible VRM (Virtual Resonance Modeling) • Real Grand Expression Modeling • GrandTouch-S™ keyboard with Wooden keys and Synthetic Ebony and Ivory Tops and Escapement • Two Amplifiers (50 watts + 42 watts) • Dual Two-way 16cm + 5cm Speaker system • USB Audio Recorder (Playback/Recording: WAV) • 20 rhythms • Built-in Bluetooth® audio • Wireless connection to the Smart Pianist app via Bluetooth® MIDI • A Matching Polished Ebony Bench is included • Five Year Warranty GrandTouch-S™ keyboard with wooden keys Yamaha’s latest keyboard action features a broad dynamic range and faithful response to every nuance of touch that puts a wide expanse of tone—from delicate to bold—at the pianist’s fingertips. The highly consistent grand piano hammers replicate the pleasing response felt when the hammers strike the strings, enabling precise control of the tone. Highly absorbent synthetic-ivory white keys and synthetic-ebony black keys prevent slipping even during extended play and feel just like those of a grand piano. GrandTouch-S keyboard of the CLP-765GP features wooden keys that showcase Yamaha’s expertise with wood for pianos. Just as with grand piano keyboards, the solid wood is cut from the very best parts of well-dried lumber, making the keys more resistant to warping than keyboards made of laminated wood. The wooden texture and structure of the keys create a more grand piano-like feel. Escapement mechanism of Clavinova keyboards The escapement mechanism in a grand piano moves the hammers away from the strings quickly after they strike them, in order to prevent any interference with string vibration. This mechanism produces a slight clicking sensation when the keys are pressed gently. The Clavinova keyboards feature an escapement mechanism that reproduces this sensation near the bottom of the key dip. They have been designed in such a way that the click is discernible only on the lightest keystrokes, similar to the keyboard of a grand piano. These keyboards have been adjusted to provide additional friction that balances key repetition and response without impeding performance. Yamaha Clavinova CLP765GP Design philosophy Clavinova pianos boast excellent playability and versatile functions, along with a refined, authentic design that blends a compact form with modern aesthetics in a manner befitting the instrument that sets the contemporary standard for pianos. At the heart of the Clavinova design concept is the way the player feels when they take their seat in front of a Clavinova piano. Unnecessary elements are removed from the player’s field of vision to create a convincingly natural space that feels just like sitting at an acoustic piano. This represents Yamaha’s consideration to players who practice on Clavinova and perform on grand pianos—they are able to take the stage free of tension or worry because everything feels normal, as it should. A Clavinova piano is a part of the player’s everyday life—contemporary accents and color variation are available to mesh with any interior design or lifestyle. Yamaha Clavinova CLP765GP – Grand Expression Modeling The interaction and interplay of the hammers, dampers, and strings inside a grand piano respond to the subtlest nuances of the pianist’s touch, creating a limitless range of tonal expression. Touch refers to the pianist’s control, not only of intensity (softness/loudness) in playing and releasing the keys, but also of the speed and depth with which the keys are pressed. The Grand Expression Modeling introduced in the CLP-700 Series translates the widely varied input from the pianist’s fingers into the same limitless tonal variation of a grand piano. This makes it possible to vary the output by playing the keys to different depths and with different speeds, even when using techniques such as trills or legato or emphasizing the melody over the accompaniment. Grand Expression Modeling excels at faithfully reproducing the output expected of these techniques in many well-known songs. In Debussy’s “Clair de Lune,” a loose touch creates the faint tone that makes the melody stand out more crisply. In Liszt’s “Un Sospiro,” the accompanying arpeggios accent the melody without overwhelming it, and varied expression of the melody gives it the same quality as vocals. In the last of the Chopin nocturnes, trills, legato, and other delicate techniques where fingers seem to float over the keys deliver the airy, smooth tonal expression required. Playing such pieces on a highly expressive piano helps the pianist learn various techniques and experience the same joy of expression as a painter, but through sound. Yamaha Clavinova CLP765GP – Newly sampled Yamaha CFX and Bösendorfer Imperial voices Clavinova grand piano sounds are recorded from several world-renowned concert grand pianos. One of them is the CFX, Yamaha’s top-flight concert grand piano. Pianists around the world are enamored with the impressive, dazzling, richly expressive sound of the CFX in concert halls. Another sampled concert grand is the Imperial, the flagship model of Bösendorfer, a time-honored Viennese piano brand with an ardent following. The Imperial is known for its abundance of color and natural, warm feeling. Yamaha faithfully reproduces the idiosyncrasies of these concert grand pianos by carefully recording the entire tonal range of each of the 88 keys, making minute adjustments to capture the most harmonious tones each piano has to offer. Yamaha Clavinova CLP765GP – Virtual Resonance Modeling One of the allures of the grand piano is the sympathetic resonance created by the vibration of the entire instrument. Clavinova pianos elaborately reproduce this rich sympathetic resonance through a groundbreaking technology called Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM). VRM creates a richly varied sound by simulating the complex sympathetic tones created when the vibrations of the strings are propagated to the soundboard and other strings, corresponding to the timing and intensity of key playing and pedaling. CLP-700 Series pianos even replicate the sounds the dampers make when they are raised off the strings, in addition to the resonance of the duplex scaling, strings, soundboard, and case. Clavinova pianos allow you to enjoy the same momentary dynamics and deep sympathetic sounds that are produced by the entire body of a grand piano. Yamaha Clavinova CLP765GP – A fully immersive concert grand experience—even with headphones Binaural sampling is a method of sampling in which special microphones are placed on a mannequin’s head in the same positions as the pianist’s ears to capture piano sounds the way that they sound in reality. We chose this method to create the ambience and full, natural resonance of acoustic pianos in Clavinova pianos. This makes pianists feel as though they are sitting at a grand piano even when they play with headphones on. The experience is so pleasant that they forget they are wearing headphones, no matter how long they continue to play. On CLP-700 Series pianos, binaural sampling was used for the Bösendorfer Imperial as well as the Yamaha CFX. Yamaha achieves higher-definition binaural sound with a specially developed mannequin head and model ears used for the recording. We also developed the Stereophonic Optimizer function to achieve the same effect for the piano effects. Stereophonic Optimizer technology replicates the natural diffusion of sound in headphones nearly as closely as binaural sampling for the piano voices other than the CFX and Imperial. Yamaha Clavinova CLP765GP – Period instrument voices open the door to the world of classical music The CLP765GP is one of the first instruments to be equipped with the voices of the fortepiano, the predecessor to the modern piano. The sounds emitted by a fortepiano are simpler than those of a modern piano, and decay much more rapidly. Hearing the sounds of the instruments played when the likes of Mozart, Beethoven, and Chopin were composing their songs should illuminate the original intent behind the notes on the page. Here is a novel opportunity to communicate with historical composers by playing these period instruments. The CLP765GP is equipped with the voices of two fortepianos beloved by Mozart and Chopin. The fortepianos shown in the picture are from the collections of at the Hamamatsu Museum of Musical Instruments. Yamaha Clavinova CLP765GP – Time-tested practice aids Train your hands with some of the most widely accepted exercises in the world using proven practice methods from Hanon, Bayer, Czerny and Burgmüller. You can use these built-in songs for practicing with your right and left hands separately, or simply enjoy listening to them. Yamaha Clavinova CLP765GP – Playing the piano along with rhythm playback The CLP-700 Series comes complete with 20 different and simple rhythm patterns (drums and bass accompaniment) that are perfectly suited to many types of music, letting you spice up your performance with some backing musicians, make practice more interesting, or open up your creative flow with inspiring new ideas. Yamaha Clavinova CLP765GP – Connect wirelessly for Bluetooth® audio You can play music through the audio system on the Clavinova* by using a Bluetooth-enabled smart device. You can stream audio data such as mp3 files. You can enjoy playing along with any songs on your smart device.

HOHNER Golden Melody Harmonica   • Key: C • The Must Have Harmonica for Jazz and Country Melodies • Retro Styled Curved Corners • Traditional Style ABS Red Plastic Comb • Polished Stainless Steel Cover Plates • 12TET Equal Temperament Tuning • Tonal range: 3 octaves • Hand Crafted in Germany The alluring design and full length covers of the Golden Melody are not all that this iconic harp has to offer. It’s the only Hohner Diatonic model that has Equal Temperament tuning, making it a favourite with jazz harpists who need to play in tune with other instruments in all positions. The beautiful pure tone sets it apart and makes it the ideal harmonica for single note solo playing. If you want to touch the hearts of your listeners and explore your potential as a soloist, our dream machine will set you on the right path. The Hohner Golden Melody uses Equal Temperament tuning. Also known as 12 tone Equal Temperament or “12TET for Melodies”, Equal temperament allows you to play melodies that sound in tune no matter what key you play in.

The world’s first large tube amp equipped with a Nutube in both the pre-amp and power amp sections

The MVX150 series challenges existing concepts of tube amps; it features a Nutube in both the pre-amp and power amp sections, delivering the fat and warm sound that is the characteristic of tubes. Careful attention has been paid not only to the Nutube, but also to every aspect of the analog design for the peripheral circuitry as well. Additionally, there’s no need to worry about maintenance, such as tube replacement, that is inevitable for conventional tube amps.

What is the Nutube?

Nutube is a new vacuum tube that was developed by KORG Corporation in conjunction with Noritake Itron Corporation as an application of vacuum fluorescent display technology. Like a conventional vacuum tube, a Nutube has an anode grid filament structure and operates as a complete triode tube. It provides the same rich overtones and response that are distinctive of conventional vacuum tubes without the potential reliability issues.

Power Amp section uses NuPower technology

The power amp section is one of the important factors that determine the distinctive response and playability of a tube amp. VOX has always paid careful attention to the design of the power amp section, notably in its Valve Reactor circuit. With the MVX150 series, VOX have begun using newly developed NuPower technology, which takes full advantage of the Nutube’s sound potential and also delivers the advantages of conventional tubes and solid-state power. Tube power is the key to stunning dynamics, while solid state power has the advantage of stability, wide range, and high output. The NuPower design utilizes the advantages of both to create a powerful, yet nuanced power section that compliments your playing style.

What is NuPower?

NuPower is a power amp design that combines the Nutube with a high power solid-state amplifier, providing the advantages of both. Like the power section of a conventional vacuum tube amp, the Nutube is used in a push-pull configuration and the dynamic response of the speaker is detected and fed back to the previous stage of the circuit. This generates sag, power tube distortion and dynamic frequency response change, delivering true vacuum tube amp sound with its lively and dynamic response. Additionally, since this amp possesses the wide frequency response that is characteristic of solid state amps, it can provide everything from wide-range clean sound with chiming clear highs to high-gain sound with thunderous lows. Another major advantage of NuPower is that it ensures stable operation in any environment without requiring the maintenance that is needed by conventional vacuum tubes.

Controls that allows versatile sound-shaping from clean to high-gain, from vintage to the unknown

The MVX150 series features a two-channel design that covers a wide variety of sounds. In addition to EQ, Channel 1 provides CLEAN/CRUNCH, BRIGHT, and FAT modes. Channel 2 lets you switch between RHYTHM/LEAD, BRIGHT, FAT, and MID-SHIFT modes. PRESENCE and RESONANCE controls are also provided, which let you adjust the ultra-high and ultra-low regions respectively. You can not only re-create iconic guitar sounds of the past, but also aggressively shape your tone in all-new ways. The bias voltage of the Nutube used on each channel of the preamp can be also adjusted, allowing you to control the response and character of the sound, providing a dramatically expanded expressive scope from vintage to modern.

Includes practical functions such as effects send/return and WET ONLY output

The MVX150 series provides many extended features, such as effects send/return jacks that allow you switch between parallel and series. As on the Valvetronix series, the power level control lets you adjust the level in six stages, all while maintaining the sense of loudness and distortion. There’s also WET ONLY output that lets you easily set up a wet/dry rig simply by adding an additional speaker cabinet. In this setup the MVX150 will output just the dry sound from the conventional speaker, while the WET ONLY output emits only the sound processed by a send/return connected effect unit or the internal reverb unit. By utilising this function, you can easily create the same dry/wet system as a professional stage setup using just this one unit, without using a separate power amp or complex connections. The MVX150 also provides an EMULATED LINE OUT which is useful not only during live performances but also in the recording studio. This output emulates the sound of a mic’d speaker cabinet, making it easy to record with realistic amp sounds even when using a direct-line connection.

A contemporary design that foreshadows a new age in tube amps

The chic appearance of the MVX150 is complemented by graduated blue illumination glowing on the front, adding the finishing touch to this refined design that ushers in a new age for tube amps. The MVX150 is also equipped with a recessed handle on the top surface.

Use a foot switch to change channels or turn effects on/off

By using the VOX VFS2 footswitch (sold separately), you can easily change channels, turn the reverb on/off, or switch the send/return on/off. You can also use it to switch between MASTER 1 and MASTER 2 and instantly change the master volume level itself. Up to two VFS2 footswitches may be connected, allowing you to smoothly transition from a rhythm part to a solo, a real convenience during live performances or recording on the fly.
