• [Video Release #9] Violinist Jill Reviews and Performs on the PLAYTECH

  

  2026/11/12

  The ninth installment of violinist Jill's video review series on PLAYTECH violins has been released on her YouTube channel! This is the final episode in a series introducing three of PLAYTECH's top-tier violin models.
  
  In this ninth installment, Jill introduces the "PVN744E," the top-of-the-line model of the three. Crafted from European wood, this model features a beautiful antique finish reminiscent of a vintage violin.
  
  In the video, Jill picks up the instrument and provides a detailed explanation of its appearance, specifications, and tuning stability. Through performance demonstrations, she reviews its rich, full-bodied, brilliant tone and wide expressive range, from intricate passages to delicate nuances. Her performances show how faithfully the instrument responds to the player's intentions.
  
  The video also includes a side-by-side comparison with the other two models, the "PVN644" and "PVN744A," allowing viewers to compare their tonal and visual differences.
  
  This video is highly recommended not only for those interested in PLAYTECH violins but also for players seeking an instrument with a wider expressive range. Be sure to check out Jill's performance and review!

• Product Review: "WARM AUDIO / Dirty Boy Jr. Fuzz" by Ryoji Saito – Now Available!

  

  2026/11/12

  We have published a product review by Ryoji Saito, an artist active as a composer, guitarist, and singer-songwriter.
  The featured product is the "Dirty Boy Jr. Fuzz" guitar effect pedal from WARM AUDIO.
  It delivers a vintage-style fuzz tone with rich sustain, dynamic "clean-up" (responsiveness when rolling back the guitar volume), and harmonic saturation. Additionally, a 6-position frequency selector provides a wide range of tonal expression.
  In this review, Saito-san explores the pedal's sound characteristics and usability, accompanied by actual audio samples.
  "It’s a musical fuzz that offers rich distortion and sustain, while responding precisely to your picking dynamics and the volume control
  on your guitar."
  "The 'Freq' selector is particularly interesting. Whether you need more thickness, better cut-through, or a more defined contour to the
  distortion, you can always find the 'sweet spot' to suit your specific gear and playing situation."
  "I also really like the size of the enclosure. It’s so compact that it’s easy to integrate into a pedalboard and convenient to carry
  around."
  In short, the pedal has received high praise—not only for its authentic, vintage-style fuzz sound, but also for its versatile "Freq"
  selector, which allows for tonal adjustments to match your gear, and its pedalboard-friendly, compact design. From raw, aggressive fuzz to
  bell-like clean tones—discover how this pedal’s character shifts with simple adjustments to your guitar’s controls in our latest review!
