Press Release, Thu 18 Mar 2010, 11:46 am UTC
Gibson Joan Jett Blackheart Melody Maker
'Blackheart'
FRANKFURT MUSIKMESSE 2010 PRESS RELEASE: Gibson has announced the launch of the Joan Jett Blackheart Melody Maker.
In anticipation of the forthcoming film release The Runaways and her recent release of the Joan Jett and The Blackhearts Greatest Hits album, the latest from Gibson USA embodies the hard-rockin' style of Joan Jett herself with distinct features and attention to detail.
The Blackheart Melody Maker will be available through select retailers beginning 19 March.
Jett got her own original Melody Maker back in 1977 and she has since made it one of the most iconic instruments in rock and roll. It's the same guitar she used when she was in the renowned band The Runaways and then played on all of her hits including I Love Rock n' Roll, Bad Reputation and Do You Wanna Touch Me.

The Double Cutaway Melody Maker in black features the Mini Grover LP style with a buffed neck for a smooth feel when playing some licks. Going beyond the basic look, Gibson USA adds to the style of the guitar to include features that exude Jett's personality as the neck is adorned with black heart and red dot inlays and Jett's own signature on the truss rod cover.
For sound, the A Zebra Coil BurstBucker 3 accounts for versatility. Each comes in a Joan Jett hard shell case.
Pricing: MSRP US$1,533

Blackstar expands HT valve FX pedal range

FRANKFURT MUSIKMESSE 2010 PRESS RELEASE: Building on the success of the award-winning HT range of valve overdrive pedals, Blackstar are proud to announce the launch of three new effects pedals: HT-Delay, HT-Modulation and HT-Reverb.
Combining real valve tone with the flexibility of digital technology these pedals deliver eight stunning reverb, delay or modulation effects.
When the Blackstar team embarked on the journey to design the ultimate digital effects pedals they wanted to develop products that had none of the harshness of some digital products and provide the warmth and musicality of vintage effects pedals which players love.
The Blackstar designers acquired some of the most revered valve and vintage effects pedals and set to work distilling the ingredients that make these old designs so special. The valve Saturation/Dwell feature is one result of this exhaustive research. In simple terms it is a valve gain and compression circuit which acts in the digital effects 'side chain' to impart the valve dynamics and harmonics typical of vintage valve effects.
HT-Delay
With eight different delays in one pedal the HT-Delay can take you from vintage and multi-head tape delays, through to classic analogue and linear full bandwidth effects and two versatile loop modes as well. You can then add in real valve compression and harmonics using the unique Saturation control.
Features
8 delay effects
Genuine valve design
Operates at 300V HT
Unique Saturation control
Tap and two Loop modes
Stereo
Unique switching operation
High integrity buffered bypass
Power supply included
Silent switching

Fender announces new American Deluxe guitars and basses
New Strats, Teles, Precision and Jazz for Frankfurt
Chris Vinnicombe, Tue 23 Mar 2010, 12:01 am UTC
FRANKFURT MUSIKMESSE 2010: Fender's all-new 2010 American Deluxe series looks set to be one of the major announcements of the show. Alongside new alder and ash American Deluxe Telecasters, four and five-string Jazz Basses and a Precision bass comes a variety of Stratocaster flavours in the shape of alder and ash-bodied, V Neck and HSS models.
The electric guitars feature reconfigured S-1 switching and compound 9.5 – 14-inch neck radiuses, while the basses benefit from a newly-designed preamp with switchable active or passive operation.
In addition to some tasty new finishes including Sunset Metallic, Tungsten and Wine Transparent, the most significant upgrade across the range comes in the shape of Fender's new N3 Noiseless pickups.
Fender says: "N3 Noiseless pickups are among the best-sounding pickups ever affixed to a Stratocaster or a Telecaster guitar, achieving the remarkable sonic feat of providing unmistakable vintage sound without unwanted noise…
"Using an improved stacked-coil design, N3 Noiseless pickups are specially tailored for each Stratocaster and Telecaster pickup position... The insulated metal core of each pickup position type differs in thickness and composition for enhanced tone, and Fender has fine-tuned the size, shape and wire gauge of the coils to balance the magnetic responsiveness essential to great tone.
"Further, N3 Noiseless pickups represent a welcome return to the warmth and clarity of alnico magnets. Again, the type of alnico magnets used is tailored to pickup position – Alnico V for the power and warmth of the Stratocaster N3 bridge pickup and the signature snap and spank of both Telecaster pickups; Alnico II for the sweetness and sparkle of the Stratocaster N3 middle pickup; Alnico III for the fullness of the Stratocaster N3 neck pickup without undue magnetic string pull."

Fender American Deluxe Stratocaster (alder body, rosewood or maple fretboard)
