Awesome stuff those super brights are. I have a couple of non usb ones that have come in handy over the years. The usb should be even sweeter.

Mine are the clip on, kind so you can attach them just about anywhere, on a music stand, over your guitar pedal board, or mixer. They should make one that plus into a Pedal Power II. They might, but I have yet to see it. Maybe I should make one that plugs into a Pedal Power II and screws in to a Pedal Train.

I like this one

I glad this page is now working.  I might even grab the hardcover book. It's been a while since I actually purchased hard copy book.

Thx

Looks a bit like the Fishman solo amp I have used for years.Modern up dates .

Good info, but unfortunately the videos posted where to sales and marketing garbabge , and gave you no real feel for the product.

Mackie should have walked into almost any small coffee house and shot a video of a solo performer or small band using it. It's my number one complaint for new products. I know this is very new, but still.

I like the sound of this guy's acoustic. It would have been nice if he had a vocalist with him.

I don't know exactly what happens to posts like this, but I have never seen a follow up. So where these post get put who knows.

That's my 2 cents there Phil.

It's a more powerful version of the Mackie Playfree system that came out last year.

I have the older G7 capo, that was given too me by a friend. I person don't care for the way it sits on the string on the fret board. For acoustics I  mostly use a Kyser, and in 25 years of using Kyser capos, I only broke the spring on one. I always have a back  up and Kyser's  tend to sit nice and flat on the fret board.

On electrics I tend to go with Shubbs capos, you can't break those, but I guess one could break the plastic thing at the end of the capo.

Maybe the new G7 sits better on the fret board. I don't think the price that bad, but it's more costly that the others.

Thanks Phil.

I'm gonna have to check them out for real. I totally forgot about my request for a review on this one.

Phil, I have been waiting for this review. My original acoustic amp was a Fender Acoustasonic Jr. way back over a decade ago. I didn't keep it that long and traded it out, when I bought the SWR California Blonde. After that I grabbed a Fishman Loudbox Performer. Fender has really come a long way in acoustic amps since my  Acoustasonic Jr. I really feel this a winner, in tone.

The amp would look great on stage or in my living room. However you sold me on a guitar review you did not to long ago. I'll be order that one very soon, now that weather has warmed up and cold day of winter are history. The low level phantom power maybe an issue, and I'm not sure why they didn't get this to the standard 48 volts. I also noticed it has only one XLR output, and it would have been nice to see two separate XLR outputs, so one could run the vocal,s as well as the guitar, to a mixing board. Even my old Fishman has two XLR outs.

All in all, the video makes it sound very nice and it has  a great 3D tone.  I'll be hitting a local Fender dealer in the area, to see if it's something I can't live without. 

Thanks for the review. I really think Fender got it right, as far as the sound it delivers. Hope you don't have to return it any time soon.

I saw this tool the other day, while I was looking at Gibson coffee mugs, thinking I might need the 15 ox cup to get out the door. 

You can't believe the number of  Allen keys I have tossed in a box. The last time I was  working on a guitar, I was rather disgusted looking for the right key to make a truss rod adjustment.  I went to the store and bought another set in english and metric , all grouped together with a handle. To have it all in one convenient package for home or a gig would just be a time saver. The price is not bad, when you think about convenience of an all in one tool. 

I can see me ordering one down the road, with that 15 oz coffee cup.

On that note, as far as diagonal cutters go . I really like Xcelite cutters. They seem to hold a nice edge for quite a long time. They are however, about 4 times the cost as the ones you posted. In many ways you get what you pay for. I do not work for or represent the Apex Tool Group, but there tools are very nice and some of the best I have found.

Smart and handy too, I would say. Now if someone would attach a string winder to the handle of a set of diagonal cutters. We'd be in business.

Nice.I have one of the 1980's RI 57 Strats made at the Fullerton plant.  What I did notice is, they didn't tint the neck.  I also noticed in the video that the case looks like a  G&G case, which I believe would be correct. My case is just a Fender Tweed Case.    Almost makes me want another Strat. Nice write up.

I've owned more than a few of his products along the way. RIP Jim Sr.
