Jack Bryan – Rainger FX – Bleep Fuzz (with Igor controller)
A crazy noisemaker from Rainger Fx, this pedal can summon some absolutely killer fuzztones. The ability to quickly tweak and fine-tune the overtones or “bleeps” this thing can make is what really sets it apart from other wacked out fuzzes, giving it a more musical element you don’t typically find in similar pedals. Additionally, the gate keeps it from making undesirable noise when you’re not playing. Pick one up and make all your friends ask “What the *bleep* is making all that noise!?”

Marnie Orville – Fairfield Circuitry – Meet Maude Analogue Delay
This delay is super dark and warm, with some nice analogue pitch shifting. Great for ambient, and the large ‘time’ knob makes it easy to mess around with while playing.

Mike Horan – Martin Acoustic Guitars – 00-15M
A great playing smaller-bodied guitar with a warm tone! Sounds great finger-picked or strummed.

Matt Harmon – Milkman Sound – The Amp Stereo
I’m really diggin the possibilities of this new amp by Milkman. It can have a space on any guitarist’s pedal board or home studio. Travel is super easy, (even international) optional ways to play is crazy. (Headphones, direct, speaker cab, speaker cabs in stereo) This amp was thought out and made to last.

Isaiah Sibi – Iris Guitars – MS-00 – 12-Fret – Tobacco Burst with Binding
This 12-fret, X-braced, mahogany back and sides with a sitka spruce top Iris has a full, punchy tone to it while also being lightweight. Excellent, especially, for old time and blues like backup with a great shape, feel, and size for finger and flat picking all around!

Susan Willits – Recording King Banjos – Songster Resonator
I enjoy picking a musical instrument for a staff pick right before Christmas. When I was a teenager, my parents surprised me with a banjo for Christmas. I had always loved the banjo and that gift changed the course of my life. With that in mind I’m suggesting the Recording King Songster banjo as a gift for someone you want to surprise, or for yourself! The Songster is a lovely banjo, with pretty Mother of Pearl inlay on the fingerboard and headstock and a gloss finish on the resonator and neck. This banjo sounds nice and plays easily up and down the neck and it would definitely make a wonderful present for someone!

Matt KappenmanCollings Electric Guitars – 290 DC S – 1959 Faded Crimson
Single pickup, single volume, single tone. I love how elegant and simple this solid-body 290 is from Collings. There’s no way to overthink this guitar, it’s straightforward and I’ll admit to my P-90 bias any day of the week. A great guitar that really shines here in the shop.
