• [Sound & Recording March] MACKIE Battery-Powered Subwoofer "Thump Sub GO" Review Published!

  

  2026/01/31

  A review of MACKIE's battery-powered subwoofer, the "Thump Sub GO," was featured in the March issue of "Sound & Recording Magazine."
  With up to two batteries, it offers approximately 12 hours of continuous playback. By combining it with a battery-powered portable PA speaker, such as the "Thump GO" speaker from the same series, you can create a PA system with deep bass that doesn't require a power supply. The reviewer praised the subwoofer, saying, "It adds even more dynamics, and it's amazing how it delivers power and quality despite its compact size." This subwoofer is recommended for those seeking a more professional sound for outdoor events, DJs, bands, and other performances where securing power is difficult. Be sure to check it out.

• Popular Bassist Wakazaemon Releases a Comparison Review of Bass Overdrive Pedals!

  

  2026/01/30

  A new comparison review video featuring "Bass Overdrives" from brands distributed by Sound House is now live on the official YouTube channel of popular bassist Wakazaemon!
  
  In this video, she puts the following three pedals to the test:
  
  Flattley Guitar Pedals / Bass Chief
  Known for its punchy op-amp drive, this pedal features a "BLEND" knob that lets you mix the clean signal with the overdrive. This ensures that you maintain a thick, solid core even with aggressive distortion.
  It’s a versatile unit that also performs brilliantly on guitar.
  
  ELECTRO-HARMONIX / BASS SOUL FOOD
  This pedal's charm lies in its simple, beginner-friendly interface.
  Designed specifically to not lose any low-end, it enhances the natural character of your bass. It is also an excellent choice for guitarists looking to emphasize their lower frequencies.
  
  ASHDOWN / Double Shot
  A unique two-band overdrive featuring independent drives for low frequencies (DARK) and high frequencies (LIGHT). This allows for intricate tone shaping, such as blending a clean, solid low-end with a gritty, textured high-end.
  
  The video showcases the distinct personality of each pedal alongside Wakazaemon’s exceptional playing. Be sure to check it out!
