This series is highly recommended for those starting out on electric guitar or bass this spring, as well as for anyone looking for their first effects pedal. Both the Panasonic “eneloop” rechargeable batteries and the Yamaha “HPH-100” headphones are compatible with the POD Express series, making them gifts that are sure to enhance your musical experience.
  Be sure to check the manufacturer’s website for details on how to enter. This is a limited-time special campaign, so please take this opportunity to consider the POD Express series.

• Vega-Trem Introduces the Next-Generation Tremolo Unit “VT1 Special” Featuring a Brass Block!

  

  2026/03/27

  Vega-Trem, known for its innovative design that enables Floyd Rose–level dynamic tremolo action without any modification, has released its latest series: the “VT1 Special standard” and “VT1 Special 2-points.”
  At the heart of the unit, a high-quality brass tremolo block has been adopted. Compared to previous stainless steel models, this delivers a warmer tone with enhanced low-mid richness and improved sustain. The remaining components are made from durable stainless steel, achieving both reliability and musical resonance.
  In addition to the “standard” model compatible with 6-screw mounting, the lineup also includes the “2-points” version, ideal for modern guitar specifications. Four types of springs with different tension levels (High / Medium / Low / Extra Low) are included, allowing players to finely adjust the bridge response and arm resistance to suit their preferences—such as how much the bridge lifts during bending.
  
  A must-check for Strat users—experience this new generation of tremolo systems!
