The Mother preamp is a recreation of its dual channel tube-powered namesake, but refined into pedal format. Just like the full-fledged amp, the Mother preamp is our modern take on the vintage high-wattage sounds of the early 70’s with added tonal range, control, and a voice all its own. The Mother preamp is designed to work equally well on your pedal board and into the front of your favorite amp, into a power amp, and recording interface/DAW (in conjunction with speaker emulation/IRs). The result is a wide-ranging utilitarian dual channel preamp that can add dimension and versatility to your rig with an eerily convincing Science signature tube tone.

Features: Accurate tonal recreation of the dual channel Science Mother MkIII tube amplifier All analog FET signal path for tube-like response and tone Designed to accommodate both guitar and bass Two footswitchable channels with independent Gain and Loudness controls Shared Treble, Middle, Bass EQ section Depth control to tailor front end bass response and feel Absence control to smooth or emphasize harmonic content Distinctly voiced dual outputs for use into the front of a guitar or bass amp, directly into a power amp/effects return, or recording interface (when used in conjunction with speaker emulation) External footswitch jack for remote channel switching (external switch sold separately)

Analog FET tube emulation The Mother’s all tube signal path has been meticulously replicated in the Mother preamp using carefully selected field effects transistors (FETs) to accurately mimic the tone and response of tubes running at high voltage. The preamp responds to your playing dynamics and takes pedals in front without sacrificing headroom or harmonics, just like the amp would.

Dual Channel Tone Shaping The Mother’s two channels range from a wide open pedal-eating clean sound, to edge-of-breakup, and vintage crunch on Channel A. Taking off from there, Channel B goes through shades of gain into heavier saturation, never losing sight of its fundamental voice. The familiar feeling EQ section can be used for musical tone shaping or transforming the voice of your existing setup. The unique Depth control adjusts pre-drive low end content for tighter or thicker sounds, which can be used to accommodate your guitar’s pickups, the pedal’s overdrive texture, or how the preamp reacts to preceding pedals. The Absence control fine tunes the high frequency content at the end of the signal path, providing passive smoothing when turned up, or an active top end boost when turned down.

Discretely Voiced Outputs With its independently voiced dual outputs, the Mother preamp can integrate seamlessly with your existing setup, or be used as a stand alone preamp. The normal Output jack is voiced to work best into the front of your amp like a typical EQ or drive pedal, virtually adding two more channels to your setup. The Mother can also provide “always-on” tone shaping with one channel and an additional gain and volume boost with the second channel.

The Mother’s secondary Power Amp/Direct Out provides the full-range response of the amp, designed to work into a more neutral power amp or your amp’s effects return/preamp in, effectively turning your preamp pedal into a full amp setup for live use. Alternatively, this output can be run directly into a recording interface along with your choice of speaker emulation, providing a no-frills tactile analog amp sim.

Technical Specs: Power: 9VDC center negative only, 150mA max Input impedance at 1kOhms: 1Meg Output impedance at 1kOhms: <500Ohms Bypass: True-bypass with relay switching (mute for Power Amp/Direct Out) Dimensions: 5.72 in x 4.77 in x 1.55 in (145 mm x 121 mm x 39 mm)

Gibson 70th Anniversary John Lennon 1962 J-160E Museum Limited Edition 2010

One of only 70 produced by Gibson Montana in 2010 including the very special Yoko Ono signed Certificate of Authentication.

Eighty years after his birth and four decades after his untimely passing, John Lennon's message of peace continues to touch the masses, and his songs still resonate in the hearts and minds of fans around the world. Eleven years ago at the request of Yoko Ono to celebrate John's 70th birthday, Gibson Guitar produced a very special 70th Anniversary John Lennon 1962 J-160E acoustic guitar to celebrate the legacy of this extraordinary artist. Accordingly, only a very limited number of these handmade acoustics were produced.

In 1962, John Lennon was still an up-and-coming artist, and though one of two main singer/songwriters at the heart of The Beatles, was scraping by on the little money the band was bringing in at that time. For his first quality American acoustic/electric guitar, Lennon had his sights set on a new Gibson J-160E – the problem was, he didn't have the money to buy it. With the aid of a co-signed purchase from Beatles manager Brian Epstein (who also co-signed for bandmate George Harrison's J-160E), Lennon made the guitar his own, and put it straight to the business of making rock and roll history. Recreated by the luthiers at Gibson's Montana acoustic guitar facility in period-perfect detail, the 70th Anniversary John Lennon Museum Limited Edition is now available. The 70th Anniversary John Lennon J-160E is built in the exacting image of the groundbreaking original J-160E of the 1950s and '60s. Much as with the design of the archetypal jazz guitar, the ES-175, just a few years before, Gibson applied a great deal of forward-looking, out-of-the-box thinking to the design of the J-160E in 1954. Prior to the arrival of this guitar, players of acoustic flat-tops struggled to be heard on stage, performing into inefficient microphones, or hassling with add-on soundhole pickups that usually faired little better.

To build one of the world's first truly successful electro-acoustic guitars, Gibson re-drew the blueprint: it crafted a three-layer laminated Sitka spruce top with ladder bracing specifically to resist feedback, used a mahogany back and sides for added warmth and richness, added an adjustable bridge, and installed a P-90 pickup (without traditional cover) beneath the top at the end of the fingerboard, along with a single volume and tone control and a 1/4" output jack. In addition, the guitar's solid mahogany neck was attached at the 15th fret to give performers plenty of access to the highest of the instrument's jumbo frets.

Other historically accurate details on the 70th Anniversary John Lennon J-160E models include its laminated Sitka spruce top, multi-ply top binding, single-ply back binding, traditional soundhole rosette, bone nut, comfortable rounded neck profile and period-correct adjustable acoustic guitar bridge. In remembrance of John Lennon, the guitars' headstocks are inlaid with John Lennon's signature, and their Indian rosewood fingerboards carry mother-of-pearl trapezoid inlays with Lennon's date of birth inscribed at the 12th-fret marker. Styled after Gibson's classic round-shouldered dreadnoughts, the 70th Anniversary John Lennon models are built with a laminated Sitka spruce top with historically accurate ladder bracing and mahogany back and sides. The 70th Anniversary Lennon J-160E Museum model has a very thin natural lacquer finish.

The guitar's neck and headstock are made much in the tradition of the original J-45, with the 24-3/4" scale length as featured on several classic Gibson flat-tops. Carved from a single piece of quarter-sawn mahogany to a comfortable rounded profile, and topped with an Indian rosewood fingerboard, the design incorporates Gibson's lauded 17-degree back-angled headstock, with John Lennon signature inlaid in mother-of-pearl.

The 70th Anniversary John Lennon models carry an up-market hardware set, including vintage-style nickel tuners with keystone buttons, and belly-up rosewood bridge with adjustable saddle. Each model comes with a special hardshell case, Certificate of Authenticity, an owner's manual and literature for Gibson's Gold Warranty. The Museum model include a Special 70th Anniversary Certificate personally signed by Yoko Ono, additionally the soundhole label is also signed by Yoko Ono. The body's top is made from three-layer laminated Sitka spruce, a material that is highly regarded for its resistance to feedback when used in the soundboards of electro-acoustic guitars. Its back and sides are made from mahogany. The 70th Anniversary John Lennon models bear the classic acoustic sound heard on countless Beatles recordings. This sound had a balanced lows, mids and highs and a lighter and brighter acoustic tonal character. Plugged in, it benefits from a tight, cutting response, excellent presence, and impressive resistance to feedback for a flat-top "electro-acoustic" guitar. The 70th Anniversary John Lennon J-160E is designed along the lines of the large-bodied, round-shouldered J-45 dreadnought, an all-time classic that Gibson introduced in 1942.

The neck of the 70th Anniversary John Lennon models are constructed from one solid piece of quarter-sawn, lightweight mahogany. The luthiers in Gibson's Montana plant carefully select the grain orientation of the mahogany used for necks to optimize tone and sustain. The wood, construction, and headstock pitch all contribute greatly to the superior resonance, sustain, and overall tone of the 70th Anniversary John Lennon models. Just like the original J-45, and many other classic Gibson models, the 70th Anniversary John Lennon models' headstocks are carefully angled at Gibson's traditional 17 degrees. This subtle yet crucial element of the guitar's design increases pressure on the strings and helps them stay in the nut slots. An increase in string pressure also means there is no loss of string vibration between the nut and the tuners, which equals better sustain. The headstock of the 70th Anniversary John Lennon models carry six vintage Kluson-Gotoh tuners with keystone tuners and efficient 14:1 gear ratios. A traditional belly-up pin bridge made from Indian rosewood carries an adjustable saddle, just like on the original. The 70th Anniversary John Lennon models comes equipped with a P-90 single-coil magnetic pickup installed beneath the top of the guitar at the end of the fingerboard, with its adjustable pole pieces extending through the wood. This is routed through a single volume and tone control, and a standard 1/4" output jack.

There is nothing more iconic than a Rickenbacker bass. The bass carries that classic sound and feel of the 70's as well as; the outstanding manufacturing that is to be expected from that era. It doesn't show any dents or chips in the body. In the right lighting however, shows a few scratches. Nothing that effects the playing of the bass. It has a rosewood fretboard, a maple neck and a walnut body with triangle fingerboard inlays. Made in the U.S.A with standard Rickenbacker pickups. The bass weighs 4.2 kg

Bingzi is a multi-style overload effect. The whimsy of the designer Mr. G gives Bingzi a new essence of timbre magic. The innovative dynamic augmentation technology allows the effect device to go beyond the boundaries of the device and become a miracle maker of music. The reduction of compression and the increase of dynamics allow the details of the fingertips to be amplified in the sonic wave of the third son, and the musicians can feel a different sensitive feedback and boost effect. Compared with the traditional TS effect, the gain adjustment range is wider, and it can even act as a low gain distortion effect. In this journey to master sound surfing, Bingzi opens the musicians' journey of deep tone adjustment. The shift on the left and right sides of the effects unit provides a variety of possibilities for the combination of timbre. The left file corresponds to three classic overload styles from top to bottom: The first is the creamy TS808 style, with a crisp and round sound quality; The second is the sharp SD style, infused with a strong sense of attack; Finally, the warm Timmy style gives the sound a soft and full texture. The right shift provides three styles of clipping mode, TS808, Timmy and SD. Through the combination of left and right shifts, musicians can easily switch between overload style and clipping style, creating nine unique timbre matches to meet the needs of different music scenes.

The upper knob based tone adjustment function provides more detailed control. The adjustment of volume (Level), Tone (Tone) and Gain (Gain) allows musicians to accurately adjust the timbre effect that matches their personality.

The second row provides a rare parameter adjustment function of the overload effect device, the Blend knob, the mixer master on the propane, can adjust the mix ratio of the overload wet sound to the dry sound, so that the music remains clear in the wild. When the Blend knob is completely off, the effect only outputs the dryer sound, at which point the Tone and Gain knobs are no longer adjustable, but the Level knob still adjusts the dry sound amount, and Bingzi changes to pure Cleanboost. Tight knob, tone sculptor, by adjusting the low frequency before overload, carefully sculpting the tightness of the tone, inject tension and movement into every performance. When the Tight knob is rotated to the far left, the function is fully turned off and will maintain the frequency characteristics of the general overload effect without any special processing of the sound signal before the overload.

Gibson Les Paul Modern Lite Electric Guitar - Rose Gold Satin Les Paul tone will always be appealing, but the instrument's heavy weight makes many players hesitant to use them as their go-to axe. Enter the Les Paul Modern Lite and its welcome improvements! The Modern Lite’s thinner body shaves off several pounds from the average Les Paul’s weight. This weight reduction has practically no impact on tone, and purists can rest easy knowing that a mahogany body, mahogany neck, and PAF-inspired pickups deliver a sound firmly in the Les Paul camp. Luthiers also opted for a lightweight aluminum bridge instead of heavier metals, which further demonstrates Gibson’s commitment to making this classic more approachable than ever. SlimTaper neck for comfort

The Les Paul Modern Lite's comfortable mahogany neck fuels access to countless styles. A SlimTaper neck carve offers fast freedom across the Modern Lite's 22-fret rosewood fingerboard, while a set neck joint improves sustain and increases upper-fret access. If you like the combination of a slim neck and a rosewood fingerboard, then you will love the Les Paul Modern Lite. Fresh overhauls of humbucker classics

Driving the Les Paul Modern Lite’s tone are two powerhouse humbuckers based on the legendary Gibson PAF. Updating the PAF doesn’t necessarily make the Modern Lite a “better” Les Paul. Rather, these updated pickups help modern players achieve desired sounds with less hassle and more clarity. A 498T treble humbucker in the bridge position is hot-rodded for fierce output that quickly drives your amp into crunch, overdrive, and distortion. A modern-voiced Alnico V magnet makes the 498T fit for powerful leads and thick rhythms, while pole spacing tailored to the bridge position gives notes exceptional definition. The 490R rhythm humbucker in the neck position sits closer to the original PAF and offers a smoother presence with a wide, luscious character — a perfect counterpoint to the 498 T’s firepower. You’ll also find the 490R retains more upper-midrange content and an improved resistance to microphonic feedback. Gibson Les Paul Modern Lite Electric Guitar Features: Familiar Les Paul performance paired with modern looks and a weight-conscious build Solid mahogany body delivers classic richness and warmth with outstanding sustain Thinner body weighs significantly less than a traditional Les Paul Mahogany neck with a SlimTaper neck carve for fast, all-purpose comfort Indian rosewood fingerboard with 22 frets Wax-potted 490R rhythm humbucker: prized PAF character with enhanced upper midrange and improved resistance to microphonic feedback 498T treble humbucker: hot-rodded PAF-style design optimized to push amplifiers into overdrive, crunch, or distortion Graph Tech nut and Grover tuners enhance string resonance and tuning security Nashville Tune-o-matic bridge offers wide-ranging adjustable intonation Rare matching headstock finish

Immortalized by Santana at Woodstock and smashed onstage by Pete Townshend, the SG is a veritable rock icon. Now, it’s available in vintage-inspired finishes as part of the Gibson Custom Color Series. The Nashville-made SG Standard ’61 reissue takes you back to the SG’s debut with a classic lightweight mahogany body and a set mahogany neck that delivers great sustain and no pain. Two hum-canceling Gibson ’60s Burstbucker pickups facilitate spine-tingling vintage tones just like legendary PAF pickups. Plus, the rosewood fingerboard, silky 24.75-inch scale length, and precision-leveled frets were dressed leveraging advanced Plek technology for a low-action feel that inspires. The SG’s mischievous look is undoubtedly part of its lore, and the SG Standard ’61 offers only the finest looks. Gibson die-hards here at Sweetwater have noted the authenticity of the SG Standard ’61’s old-school nitro gloss finish, smaller period-correct teardrop pickguard, and tasteful fingerboard binding. With the Gibson SG Standard ’61, you can revisit the past or engineer the next great rock ’n’ roll revolution. The standard of rock

Each SG Standard ’61 is built in Nashville, where authenticity is the name of the game. Mahogany tonewoods fuel the SG’s timeless combination of playability and power, and the SG Standard ’61’s high-quality mahogany body and neck produce rich, full-bodied tones that sound even better when pushed with overdrive or distortion. Moreover, the mahogany neck’s long tenon gives this SG Standard ’61 monstrous sustain. The long neck tenon extends into the SG Standard’s body, adding a hefty bump sustain and extra structural integrity to boot. Unmatched Burstbucker tones

When it comes to capturing that classic Gibson tone, few pickups match the authenticity of Burstbucker pickups. You’ll love the tight low end, rich midrange, and rowdy highs of these pickups — it’s everything you expect and deserve when reaching for a Gibson! Debuting in the 1990s, Burstbuckers represent a leading re-creation of Gibson’s original 1960s-era PAF humbuckers. If you’re after classic Gibson tone, then the SG Standard ’61 has you covered. SlimTaper neck carve and Plek’d frets for optimized playability You’ll be delighted by how well this guitar’s fast, early-’60s SlimTaper neck profile comfortably fits your hand. For your playing pleasure, the rosewood fingerboard is buffed for smoothness and bound so no fret ends poke, prod, or pester you during play. Moreover, the frets are dressed to perfection using a Plek Pro machine for optimized playability. Typically reserved for top-dollar custom guitars, this process levels the frets with pinpoint precision, providing you with the most playable fretboard you’ll ever own. Nitro finish for the look and feel of a classic The SG Standard ’61 wears a gorgeous gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish. Nitro finishes — standard back in the day — are significantly thinner than today’s polyurethane finishes, allowing the guitar to “breathe.” Nitro finishes not only look vintage-y wonderful, but they also enhance the instrument’s tonal qualities. This guitar has the look (and feel) of a lovingly cared-for classic — one that will only improve with age. Gibson SG Standard ’61 Solidbody Electric Guitar Features:
