  Sosei Kimura, a member of Japan's leading funk band Osaka=Monorail and a frequent performer at many big festivals, has played with Creepy Nuts, Ms. OOJA, Kazumi Moroboshi, Miliyah Kato, Shota Shimizu, and many others with his funky and song-oriented drumming. His review of WARM AUDIO's WA273-EQ is now available!
  
  He says, "Depth, thickness of sound, low center of gravity, and good energy. It is straightforward to play and has an enjoyable sound! The reviewer gave a high evaluation of the product. In the recorded comparison sound source, you can enjoy the volume-rich sound of the WA273-EQ with different gain and output, with and without the TONE switch on, and even in comparison with the UAD Apollo x8 1073!
  
  The WA273-EQ is a recommended product that will satisfy those looking for a mic preamp of a higher rank and a different character from others. Please check the difference with your ears.

• New "HOT RUBBER MONKEY V2" from J. Rockett Audio Designs!

  

  2023/10/13

  HOT RUBBER MONKEY from high-end effects pedal brand J. Rockett Audio Designs has been renewed and newly introduced as "HOT RUBBER MONKEY V2"! It reproduces the distortion of the Dumble-type overdrive special amp with the HRM EQ MOD even more thoroughly than the previous model. Focusing on the low-mids, it delivers a rich tone that ranges from a core yet delicate sound to a punchy, fat sound. Using the best NOS parts has also resulted in a dramatic improvement in touch sensitivity and response speed compared to the previous model. This is the long-awaited re-release of a pedal that is easy to handle from clean to drive and produces the rich expression typical of Dumble-style amps!
