    Plug your guitar directly into your iPhone

    Does recording music get any easier than this? GuitarBud is a connecter that plugs your axe right into your phone, allowing you to record straight to any number of apps. Heck, you can just use the built-in voice recorder to lay down a melody you’ve got in your head. Or you can go a little more pro and turn your phone into a portable studio.

    Sure, you probably won’t want to record an entire album on this thing, but you’ve gotta admit that it’s pretty awesome this ability now exists.

    The Premier Gear Award is an honor bestowed upon a piece of gear—whether guitar, amp, effect, or other gear— that has been extraordinary enough to impress the staff of Premier Guitar. Despite the high quality of all gear reviewed by Premier Guitar, only exemplary items earn the award.

    “The Tonare Grand is absolutely everything you’d want in a guitar this price range, even significantly higher,” says reviewer Gayla Drake Paul. “It makes everything easier. It makes you a better player because it lets you play better.” Premier Guitar awarded the Tonare Grand a rating of 5.0, the highest possible rating. The full review, as published in the December 2009 issue, can be accessed digitally at:http://www.premierguitar.com/Magazine/Issue/2009/Dec/PRS (click December issue at top right)

    Described as an English sound with an American twist, PRS’s newest amplifier package, the PRS 30 Combo, is the first 30 Watt cathode biased combo in a series of lower wattage amps. The series kicked off with the 16 Watt PRS Sweet 16 model earlier this year. The new 30 Watt Combo features a quartet of EL84 tubes with a control layout similar to PRS’s Dallas model and a ET65 WGS speaker.

    PRS 30 Combo

    “The PRS 30 combo offers classic EL 84 tones with some special tweaks to the EQ section that give it a character all of its own. All this in a compact but powerful package… the PRS 30 Combo excels at everything from Country to Classic Rock to Blues,” said PRS Amplifier Business Unit Manager Michael Clark.

    PRS 30 Combos are handmade in Stevensville, Maryland. Other features include reverb, bright switch and a special master volume that is dialed out of the circuit as the amp’s volume is at max setting.

    “We married the Sweet 16 Combo and the Dallas Amp in a 30 Watt version. Gigging musicians looking for both a broad range of genre and broad tonal range will appreciate the versatility of this amp in many different venue settings,” said Paul Reed Smith.

    ” This is the most responsive and best sounding cable I have ever used! It doesn’t feel like you have to push your signal through the cable and your pedals to get to your amp. It just nails you right in the face when you hit the strings! ”
