TheRealZap Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Anyone see this? http://missionengineering.com/?product_cat=geminiamps looks like mission is coming out with FRFR guitar cabs Mission Gemini™ Series Full Range Amplified Guitar Cabinets with EmPower™ Technology January 22nd, 2014 - Mission Engineering Inc. (www.missionengineering.com), manufacturer of innovative electronic products for musicians, are proud to announce a new range of ground breaking amplified guitar cabinets designed for optimal performance with today’s digital modeling processors. The Mission Gemini™ Series with EmPower™ Technology is the missing link in the world of digital modeling processors and software based guitar systems. Gemini combines state of the art digital amplification and interfaces that connect to almost any device, wired or wireless, with beautiful handcrafted wood cabinets that provide the look and feel of boutique tube amps. Mission EmPower Technology features multi-channel class D power amplifiers, active crossovers with variable EQ, and full range co-axial drivers, all designed from the ground up to work together as the perfect amplification solution for modeling systems. Traditional pro-audio connectors such as ¼†jack and XLR are joined by 24bit, 192KHz high speed USB and Class 2 stereo Bluetooth wireless interfaces to connect Gemini amps directly with software based guitar systems on computers, tablets and smartphones as well as dedicated guitar processors. EmPower EQ control allows blending between a flat and a more traditional guitar cab frequency response. “The big step was not just to create state of the art technology, but to integrate it into something beautiful and reliable that guitar players would feel at home with. Mission partnered with master cabinet maker Anthony Bonadio of Stage Craft to design and hand craft these cabs and heads, so they look and feel for all the world like high end boutique tube amps, yet you can connect up your laptop to them, or stream to them wirelessly from across the stage with your iPhone. I think that’s pretty cool†- Mission CEO, James Lebihan. Mission Gemini amps will be available in 1x12†mono, 2x10†stereo and 19†rack mount versions. Compatible rack mount head units for processors such as Fractal Audio Axe-Fx™, Avid® Eleven Rack, Kemper Profiling Amp and Line 6 Pod® HD Pro will also be available. Shipping is expected to begin at the end of February 2014 from the Mission web store at www.missionengineering.com and approved distributors. Pricing TBA. Mission Amplifiers and cabinets are 100% designed and manufactured in the USA. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we won't need recording studios anymore, the NSA will already have a copy of everything you ever played in their database to check if any terrorists have you on their play lists... lol... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColonelForbin Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 That new Strat with the "personality cards" and solderless wiring looks like an interesting concept. http://techandgadgetnews.com/namm-2014-fender-american-deluxe-strat-personality-card-video/ http://www.fender.com/series/american-deluxe/american-deluxe-strat-plus-maple-fingerboard-mystic-3-color-sunburst/ "The remarkable new American Deluxe Strat® Plus guitar is the next step in the evolution of that great tradition, giving you three Stratocaster guitars in one with an innovative design featuring easily interchangeable “personality cards†that instantly give you a wealth of versatile pickup and circuitry configurations.One card comes in the guitar and delivers standard Stratocaster pickup wiring; two extra personality cards are included and let you “re-wire†the guitar with specialized pickup and circuitry modifications quickly and easily. Simply pop the color-coded cards in and out of the easy-access compartment in the back, and you’ve just modded your Strat in record time. Further, the American Deluxe Strat Plus features fully solder-less electronics that literally make other great circuit mods a snap." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjnette Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 If you use a DAW this controller puts the tactile back into mixing. http://www.soundonsound.com/news?NewsID=16922 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealZap Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 that looks killer, but far overpriced for a dumb controller... you can get a full hardware daw for the price. If you use a DAW this controller puts the tactile back into mixing. http://www.soundonsound.com/news?NewsID=16922 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjnette Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Compared to Mackie and a few others it is way less. Don't know any standalone recorder that has automated faders except an old AkaiDPS. It is true is adds to the cost of your DAW and computer and interface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
