• Catalinbread Releases the Crooner, a Recreation of a Legendary Console Preamp!

  

  2026/07/16

  Catalinbread, known for its many innovative pedals, has just unveiled its new preamp, the Crooner! It faithfully recreates the RCA BA-31 studio console preamp, which enjoyed immense popularity in its day, in a compact format that fits easily on your pedalboard. With it, you can effortlessly produce the rich low end and surprisingly clear, smooth sound characteristic of classic recordings right at your feet. The input stage features a UREI-style discrete op-amp with a wide dynamic range, drawing on the design philosophy behind the company’s Airstrip. This allows the unit to cover every type of distortion, from beautiful clean boosts and preamp tones to rich, sticky saturation, overdrive, and even intense fuzz, all with a single pedal. It is also equipped with controls that enable intuitive yet deep tone shaping, such as the Push knob for subtle gain adjustment and the Trim control, which boosts the gain of the BA-31 circuit itself to add the pleasing compression characteristic of transformers. It supports power supplies ranging from 9V to 18V, allowing you to enjoy a rich variety of headroom depending on the voltage.
  
  The Crooner combines studio-quality, exquisite tone with an astonishingly diverse range of distortion characters. Be sure to check out this cutting-edge preamp that will take your pedalboard to the next level!

• QSC L Class Event Report Now Available!

  

  2026/07/15

  We have released an event report on the QSC L Class Series, prepared by our partner distributor, Musa Enterprise Co., Ltd.
  At Sound Festa 2026, Musa Enterprise conducted a demonstration of a line array system using the LA108, LA112, and LS118 models. Many attendees were able to experience the key features of the L Class firsthand, including its easy setup, high sound quality, and energy-efficient performance.
  Additionally, at KOBE JAZZ STREET, the system provided sound reinforcement for a live jazz performance in a gymnasium, a challenging acoustic environment prone to reverberation. Despite its compact configuration, the system delivered high clarity and ample sound pressure, demonstrating stable operation even with limited power supply capacity.
  Please check out the event report to see the L Class’s performance in real-world applications.

• [New Products] Viva La Musica Shoulder Rests “Diamond Twist” and “Diamond No. 1 Twist” Now Available!

  

  2026/07/15

  Viva La Musica, a popular shoulder rest brand from Slovenia, has released two new wooden shoulder rests: the “Diamond Twist” and the “Diamond No. 1 Twist”!
  Both models feature the “Twist End Member,” which allows for even finer adjustments to the shoulder rest’s position and angle than previous models, ensuring a perfect fit tailored to the instrument and the player’s body type.
  The “Diamond Twist” models for violin and viola are lightweight wooden shoulder rests crafted from carefully selected maple. By combining a patented 360-degree adjustment mechanism with the Twist End Member, they provide an excellent fit and help bring out the instrument’s natural, rich resonance.
  
  The “Diamond No. 1 Twist” for violin is a premium model featuring a curved shape that follows the contour of the shoulder and a gold-plated Twist End Member. It is also recommended for players who prefer to hold their instrument close to the body, positioned more toward the center and front.
  We invite you to try these new models, designed to provide a superior fit and greater playing comfort.
