Godin MultiAc Nylon Encore 7 Acoustic Electric Guitar Review

 

In 2011, Godin introduced the MultiAc Encore Nylon acoustic electric guitar. Compared to traditional classical nylon guitars, the Encore featured a narrower nut width and a longer fret length, similar to what you’d expect to find on a typical steel string acoustic. This made the Encore an enticing acoustic for players looking to finally dip their toes in the nylon guitar waters. Now Godin is back with the MultiAc Encore Nylon 7 -- a nylon acoustic-electric guitar that is essentially a 7-string version of the 2011 Encore. And if you’re familiar with the original, you’d know that’s definitely not a bad thing. Read on for our impressions on the Godin MultiAc Encore 7 Nylon acoustic-electric guitar.

Brand Spotlight: Morgan Amplification Guitar Effects Pedals

 

Morgan Amplification isn't a name you hear often when discussing guitar effects pedals. As their name suggests, the company's main focus is guitar tube amps. But that's not stopping the California-based manufacturer from throwing their expertise into the effects arena. I've always been a fan of effects created by manufacturers who typically dwell in other areas as their pedals tend to feature some unique wrinkles that you might not see with your average stompbox maker, so I was excited to see what Morgan Amplification had to offer. Long story short, they didn't disappoint. Read on for a closer look at the Morgan Fuzz, NKT275 Fuzz, MKII Fuzz and Morgan OD guitar effects pedals.

Vocal Tips: How To Be Heard While Playing Loud

 

Great vocals are the center of attention for your fans. When you have taken your responsibility of working hard on your lyrics and practicing well in preparation for a performance, you have put in order an essential element of song performance. Also, singing is fun only if you can hear your voice when singing. However, it’s not always that you’ll be heard, or at least feel like you are heard. Sometimes the loudness of the music cannibalizes your sound. And this is where the aspect of over-singing results. You strain your vocal muscles because you are anxious about your vocal sound. Over-singing affects your performance and you’re more likely to injure your voice. Here are to make sure they are heard while playing loud.

Over a quarter of a decade and dozens of products later, Tech 21 continues creating gear that delivers authentic, analog sound and powerful controls. And of all of their products, few are as intriguing as their Fly Rig series -- a combination of Tech 21 pedals in the form of a compact board. While it might look like your average multi-effects unit, that would be doing the Fly Rig a disservice, as Tech 21’s aim here is clearly quality over quantity. Read on to see what the Tech 21 Fly Rig Series is all about, specifically the Fly Rig 5, Fly Rig Cali and Fly Rig Brit.
