She will make your acoustic guitar sing. Description Conceived by Bob Taylor and Mr. Rupert Neve, the K4 Equalizer is Taylors first piece of outboard electroni...c gear designed for the next step in your guitars balanced signal chain, raising the bar for live performance and recording. The K4 features a parametric EQ voiced specifically for the acoustic guitar, along with a Q control for pinpoint tone shaping. The K4 also features a custom circuit design by Mr. Rupert Neve, transformer-coupled input and output, and pure analog tone shaping. Plus, its an active DI with effects loop and tuner out. Building on the fully balanced output of the Taylor Expression System, Taylor created the K4s EQ for the specific frequencies of the acoustic guitar. Taylor designed its voicing for the Dynamic Sensors that are an essential, and exclusive, part of the ES. Now, you can shape your guitars tone by zeroing in on the notes or frequencies of your choice and then cutting or boosting them to taste. The K4 Equalizer has low impedance, transformer-coupled balanced inputs and outputs, which connect directly to the balanced output of an ES-equipped guitar. Features include: bass and treble controls, sweepable two-band Parametric midrange control with adjustable "Q", an effects loop with choice of "Pre" or "Post" EQ, phase invert, headphone jack with independent level control, mute feature and a dedicated tuner output. Each Taylor Guitars K4 Equalizer is housed in a compact case, with a wood-trimmed top.

Got in a used hardwired Vox AC15H1TV. Oh! She sounds good. To commemorate the 50th Anniversary of VOX guitar amplifiers, Vox introduced the AC15H1TV. This ampli...fier, like the others in the Heritage Collection, will transport you through the golden age of VOX tone, combining the prized EF86 preamp channel of 1958 with the 1963 Top Boost channel all in one amplifier. Add in some modern tone shaping control enhancements and the result is perhaps the finest VOX amplifier in the companys 50 year history. EF86: The tube with the magical VOX tone What is it that makes EF86 based VOX amplifiers sound so good? Maybe its the way the amp naturally overdrives. Or maybe its the raw power of the creamy distortion as you crank the amp all the way up. Whatever it is, there is an undeniable magic about this period of VOX amplification. The EF86 Pentode tube is at the heart of this elusive tone, and for many years, the EF86 tube was not available in production quantities. Fifty years later, the magic returns. The 15-watt AC15 Handwired features two channels of VOX tone through a single 12" Celestion Alnico Blue speaker. The tube complement is made up of 1 x EF86, 3 x ECC83/12AX7, 2 x EL84, and 1 x EZ81 (rectifier). Click here to read in detail about the circuitry and all the electronic features of the AC15H1TV Channel 1 is the EF86 Preamp channel - It features two inputs wired in the traditional way that gives them a 6dB gain difference between them. A two-position BASS SHIFT switch is included, with position 1 voiced to the original vintage-correct bass response and position 2 voiced to tighten the bass response and reduce any muddiness during high volume use. The three-position BRILLIANCE SWITCH provides flat response when in the OFF position. Position 1 is a new position voiced like the early AC30 Treble amps, while position 2 is the original brilliance circuit, which acts as a dramatic bass cut. The EF86 Mode switch re-configures the EF86 valve from Pentode mode to Triode mode. Triode mode will give a lower gain tone with higher headroom. Pentode mode is the famed original mode and has a very sweet high gain tone with not very much headroom. Channel 2 is the Top Boost Preamp channel - Like Channel 1, this channel includes two inputs wired with a 6 dB gain difference between them. The Treble and Bass controls are from the 1963 Top Boost circuit and are extremely interactive. Very minor adjustments of these controls can yield dramatic changes in tone color. And true to VOX form is the Top Cut control, which cuts high from either channel end as it is turned up. Flexible power - The O/P Switch adds even more flexibility to the AC15. This switch changes the power output valves from Pentode Mode, which is the normal operating mode of the power amplifier, to Triode Mode which halves the power output to 7.5 watts and will alter the tone to be somewhat smoother.

We are selling this used handmade Cordoba C9 SP/MH classical guitar with a Humi Case Metro. The guitar is mint but the case has a few dings on it but thats why... you buy a good case. $725 Solid European spruce top Solid mahogany back and sides Hand inlaid Mother-of-Pearl "Esteso" Rosette Rosewood fingerboard and Indian rosewood bridge Includes Cordoba polyfoam case One of the flagship models in Cordobas Luthier series, the completely handmade C9 features a solid European spruce top with solid mahogany back and sides. Built-in the style of Torres with Spanish fan bracing and Spanish heel construction, the C9 has the neck shape and flat fingerboard characteristic of traditional classical guitars. The C9 also features the Luthier series signature rosette, a mother-of-pearl inlay inspired by a Domingo Esteso rosette from the 1920s. C9 SP Full Specs Solid European spruce top, solid mahogany back and sides, rosewood fingerboard Indian rosewood bridge and binding, natural high gloss PU finish, 52 millimeter nut width, 650 millimeter scale length Traditional Craftsmanship Nylon string guitars are built more lightly than steel-string guitars, allowing the soundboard to vibrate and resonate more freely. The fan bracing pattern gives the center of the soundboard more surface area to vibrate, and respond to the tension of the strings. A more responsive soundboard makes the guitar louder and provides a better tone. Like all Cordoba guitars, the C9 comes equipped with a lightweight, two-way truss rod that allows you to adjust the amount of relief in the guitars neck. A Pratte Guitars
