Coming Saturday June 5th


YAMS will host our first Roland Demo Day on Saturday, June 5th. We'll be featuring performances by Macon's own Matt Moncrief as well as the Mosely Dixon Project (all of whom teach at the store).

After the performances the guys will split out and demonstrate, along with Roland rep Dan Quisenberry, a whole slew of interesting gear from Roland, Boss, and Edirol.

Tom Rule will be talking about keyboards & combo amps & music technology in general,
Mark Williams will demo Roland's electronic drums and the Rock-Band compatible software that's available,
and Bobby Hall & Matt Moncrief will talk guitars and Boss effects pedals.
Dan Quisenberry will float, answering all those questions the other guys can't answer.

We're trying to talk Dan into doing some of the killer demo stuff he does - we hear he's incredible!

We’ll have 2 sessions:
one from 11:00 to Noonish,
and the second from 1 - 2 pm(-ish!).

    Yes, it's a real live amplifier for your guitar. Yes, it actually works!

    Now that we got THAT out of the way - this is a working amp that fits in your pocket. You plug your guitar into it (I'd take it out of your pocket first, though), plug the headphones in [which ARE included, by the way], and wail away!

    It's great for practicing, for playing, and for blocking out your annoying little brother.

    Plus it isn't a whole lot of money! If you've got a Guitar Girl in your house, come on by YAMS and pick a couple up - it just might make the house quieter!

    DD-7

    Come check out the DD-7 delay pedal at YAMS! 


     



    The Next Step in Compact Delay


    Even with the best-selling delays in compact-pedal history, BOSS continues to push the envelope and innovate. The new DD-7 takes the best features from its predecessors and expands the creative potential with Modulation Delay mode, classic modeled Analog Delay mode, External pedal control options, longer delay time, and more.

    • Expanded delay time, up to 6.4 seconds

    • Modulation Delay mode offers natural, chorus-type sounds

    • Analog Delay mode models the classic warm BOSS DM-2 analog delay sound

    • Tap tempo controllable via external footswitch

    • Delay time, feedback, and effect level can be controlled via external Expression pedal (sold separately)

    • Up to 40 seconds of recording for sound on sound (Hold mode)





    The Next Step in Compact Delay


    Expanded Delay Time
    Up to 6.4 seconds of delay time is available with the DD-7, a marked increase from its predecessor. In addition, Hold mode allows up to 40 seconds of input to be recorded for creating “sound on sound” performances.

    New Delay Modes
    The DD-7 is equipped with two innovative new delay modes. Modulation Delay provides chorus-flavored sounds. Analog Delay offers a modeled simulation of the classic BOSS DM-2, beloved for its characteristic warmth.

    External Control
    For hands-free control of the DD-7, an external footswitch and Expression pedal (sold separately) can be used. Tap tempo can be controlled from an external footswitch, while delay time, feedback, and effect level can be changed on the fly via Expression pedal.

    Stereo Output
    Create amazing effects with the DD-7’s stereo output, such as spatial audio sweeps via true stereo panning. You can also use the stereo outputs to create separate dry and wet signal paths — handy for recording and live-performance control.
