Winter NAMM 2010!

Mike Akerfeldt SE looks nice, kind of odd that they didn't give him a higher end signature model as well. I thought that this year was supposed to be a big turning point for PRS, seems like things are very much the same with them overall, nothing shocking.
 
my mate just told me of this

Mike's PRS looks cool. Not getting the sideways Opeth logo though. What pickups are in that thing? Full Shreds?

On an unrelated note: Fuck Digi. Seriously. I was waiting on a decent announcement about native PT to finally commit to grabbing one of their interfaces, as I'm running out of I/O. This has basically just confirmed that I'll grab an Aurora, keep suffering through Cubase and call it a day. Blugh.

At least the new Slate plug-ins will be coming this way upon release. Cheers YellowMatter.

Also, someone hit up CLA for chrissakes! I'd be all over that shit if I lived up that way. Free major label techniques being GIVEN away - record that shit, let him know you love him.

Fixed, no need to stand on pretense Ermz :D
 
New Peavey Butcher? Anything like the old Butcher?

According to a rep, about the only thing resembling the old Butcher is the heavy British/Marshall tone leaning in the amp. Otherwise, it's pretty different.

The rep said - to him - the clean channel is a bit more "Hiwatt" and the drive channels are more Marshall...3 Channel IIRC and MIDI switching.

the press release is up on Peavey's site.
 
PRS is going to show their Mikael Åkerfeldt signature guitar. I'm really curious bout it!

Anyone has seen it already?
