We ARE living in an Internet century! This is not the future, this the truth … lots of traditional forms of entertainment are now making the transition to Internet. Almost everything is now online … why not take advantage? Radio was one of the first to make it’s way to Internet, but a while ago was considered more of “look what you can do with Internet” thing. A few years passed, the technology advanced and internet transfer rates allow everyone to stream hi-quality audio, navigate on internet, downloading all in the same time … no compromise. So now you can take online radio serious!
Most of airwaves broadcasting radios, also allow their listeners to stream online. This is a great achievement because if travel to some other zone or country you can still listen to your favorite radio if you have a laptop with you and a connection to internet!
Also, there are radios that are completely on Internet and as an example I can tell that I’m a big fan of Soma FM for a few years now. Soma FM is an independent, commercial-free and listener-supported internet radio, with 11 unique channels featuring underground electronica, chill out, ambient groove, downtempo, lounge, space music, indie rock and alternative rock, broadcasting from San Francisco. Rusty Hodge is the founder of SomaFM, a professional radio DJ that also developed software for broadcasters, multimedia, and founded Hodge Interactive to put radio and TV stations on the web.
I specially like their Groove Salad channel, which is a nicely chilled plate of ambient beats and grooves as they say 
. I discovered a lot of good music and artists by listening to Groove Salad for example Sigur Ros, Boards Of Canada, Ulrich Schnauss etc. They stream audio in a mp3 format (128k, 56k, 24k), wma format (128k, 32k) and aacPlus format (48k).
Just as a side note, Groove Salad was one of my inspirations for LOOPSalad V1
According to Accustream Imedia Research, in 2007 online internet radio (live streaming channels and individual track plays) generated 4.85 billion total listening hours, that’s 26.1% more than in 2006, generating a revenue of $92 million from advertising.
In 2007, SomaFM averaged about 5 million listener hours a month and the number is growing with an average of 6.4 million listener hours per month since December 2007. If those numbers are right, then 1.23% of all net radio listening is to Soma FM! (via Rusty’s Blog) This is pretty impressive, congratulations Soma FM!

Apple iPad has been released. Apple iPad offers a new way to experience web, email, photos and videos. It comes with lots of built-in apps on iPad were designed from the ground up to take advantage of the large, Multi-Touch screen.
Watch Steve Jobs keynote for Apple iPad
Apple iPad Features
A large, high-resolution LED-backlit, IPS display. An incredibly responsive Multi-Touch screen. And an amazingly powerful, Apple-designed chip. All in a design that’s thin and light enough to take anywhere. iPad isn’t just the best device of its kind. It’s a whole new kind of device.
LED-backlit, IPS Display
The high-resolution, 9.7 inch LED-backlit, IPS display on iPad is remarkably crisp and vivid. Which makes it perfect for web browsing, watching movies, or showing off photos. It’s also been designed to work in any orientation — portrait or landscape. And because it uses a display technology called IPS (in-plane switching), it has a wide, 178° viewing angle. So you can hold it almost any way you want, and still get a brilliant picture, with excellent color and contrast.
Multi-Touch
The Multi-Touch screen on the iPad uses the same revolutionary technology that’s in an iPhone. But for iPad, the technology has been completely reengineered for the larger surface, to make it extremely precise and responsive. So when you’re zooming in on a map, flicking through your photos, or deleting an email, iPad responds with incredible accuracy. And it does just what you want it to.
Thin and light
One of the first things you’ll notice about the iPad is how thin and light it is. The screen is 9.7 inches, measured diagonally. So overall, it’s slightly smaller than a magazine. And at just 1.5 lbs and 0.5 inches thin,1 it’s easy to carry and use anywhere. There’s also a slight curve to the back. Which makes it easy to pick up and comfortable to hold.
10 hours battery life
Up to 10 hours battery life. To maximize battery life, Apple engineers took the same lithium polymer battery technology they developed for our notebook computers and applied it to the iPad. As a result, you can use iPad for up to 10 hours while surfing the web on Wi-Fi, watching videos, or listening to music.2
Wireless
With built-in 802.11n, iPad can take advantage of the fastest Wi-Fi networks. And it’ll automatically locate available Wi-Fi networks, which you can easily join with a few simple taps. iPad also comes with Bluetooth 2.1 with EDR, which lets you connect to devices like wireless headphones or the Apple Wireless Keyboard.
3G
iPad will also be available in a 3G model, with super-fast data speeds up to 7.2 Mbps.3 So if you’re traveling, or you happen to be somewhere that doesn’t have a Wi-Fi network, you can still get a fast connection for surfing the web, downloading email, or getting directions.
Performance
The A4 chip inside iPad was custom-designed by Apple engineers to be extremely powerful, and yet extremely power efficient. So the performance is unlike anything you’ve ever seen on a touch-based device. Which makes iPad fantastic for everything from productivity apps to games. But at the same time, the A4 chip is so power efficient that it helps iPad get up to 10 hours of battery life on a single charge. And iPad is available with a choice of 16, 32 or 64GB flash storage.4 Which gives you lots of room for your photos, movies, music, apps, and more.
30-pin connector. Built-in speaker. Connectivity
The 30-pin dock connector on the bottom of the iPad allows you to dock and charge it. It also lets you connect to iPad accessories like the Camera Connection Kit or the Keyboard Dock.
Audio
The powerful, built-in speaker produces a full, rich sound. Which makes watching a movie or listening to music even more enjoyable. It also comes with a headphone jack and a built-in microphone.
Accessories
There are lots of great accessories that have been specifically designed for iPad. The Keyboard Dock, for instance, is a dock with a full-size keyboard. There’s also a standalone Dock. And because iPad has built-in Bluetooth 2.1, it’ll work with an Apple Wireless Keyboard, too. There’s also a Camera Connection Kit that lets you import photos from a camera or SD card. There’s even an iPad Case that not only protects it, it also allows you to use iPad in various positions, to make it easy to type, look at photos, or watch movies. And through a range of accessories, iPad can output to TVs, projectors and displays.
Apple iPad built-in Apps
Safari
The large Multi-Touch screen on iPad lets you see web pages as they were meant to be seen — one whole page at a time. With vibrant color and sharp text. So whether you’re looking at a page in portrait or landscape, you can see everything at a size that’s actually readable. And with iPad, navigating through the web has never been easier, or more intuitive. Because you use the most natural pointing device there is: your finger. You can scroll through a page just by flicking your finger up or down on the screen. Or pinch to zoom in or out on a photo. There’s also a thumbnail view that shows all your open pages in a grid, to let you quickly move from one page to the next.
Mail
See and touch your email in ways you never could before. In landscape, you get a split-screen view, showing both an opened email and the messages in your Inbox. To see the opened email by itself, you just turn iPad to portrait, and the email automatically rotates and fills the screen. No matter which orientation you use, you can scroll through your mail, compose a new email using the large, on-screen keyboard, or delete messages, with nothing more than a tap and a flick. If someone emails you a photo, you can see it right in the message. You can also save the photos in an email directly to the built-in Photos app. And iPad will work with all the popular email providers, including MobileMe, Yahoo! Mail, Gmail, Hotmail, and AOL.
Photos
With its crisp, vibrant display, and its unique software features, iPad is an extraordinary way to enjoy and share your photos. For example, the new Photos app displays the photos in an album as though they were in a stack. Just tap or pinch to open the stack, and the whole album opens up. Then you can flip through your pictures, zoom in or out, or watch a slideshow. You can even use your iPad as a beautiful digital photo frame while your iPad is docked or charging. And there are lots of ways to import photos: you can sync them from your computer, download them from an email, or import them directly from your camera using the Apple Camera Connection Kit.
Video
The large, high-resolution screen makes iPad perfect for watching any kind of video: from HD movies and TV shows, to podcasts and music videos. You can also easily move between wide-screen and full-screen with a double-tap. And because it’s essentially one big screen, with no buttons or anything to distract you, the picture fills your line of sight. So you feel completely immersed in what you’re watching.
YouTube
The YouTube app organizes videos so they’re really easy to see and navigate. To watch one, you just tap it. When you’re watching in landscape, the video will automatically play in full screen. And with its high-resolution display, the latest YouTube HD videos will look amazing on iPad.
iPod
With the iPod app, all your music is literally at your fingertips. You can browse by album, song, artist, or genre, with a simple flick. To play a song, just tap it, and the now playing screen will show the album art at full size. Then you can listen to your music with either the powerful built-in speaker, or with wired or Bluetooth wireless headphones.
iTunes
Just tap on the iTunes Store icon, and you can browse and buy music, TV shows, podcasts — or buy and rent movies — wirelessly, right from your iPad. There are thousands of movies and TV shows (in both standard and high definition), along with thousands of podcasts, and millions of songs to choose from. You can even preview songs before you buy them. And you can sync iPad with the content you already have in your iTunes library on your Mac or PC.
App Store
iPad will run almost 140,000 apps from the App Store. Everything from games to business apps, and more. And new apps that have been designed just for iPad are highlighted, so you can easily find the ones that take full advantage of its features. Just tap the App Store icon on the screen and you’ll be able to browse, buy, and download apps wirelessly, right to the iPad.
iBooks
The iBooks app is a great, new way to read and buy books.1 Just download the app for free from the App Store, and you’ll be able to buy everything from classics to bestsellers from the built-in iBookstore. Once you’ve bought a book, it’s displayed on your Bookshelf. To read it, all you have to do is tap on it and it opens up. The high-resolution, LED-backlit screen displays everything in sharp, rich, color, so it’s very easy to read, even in low light.
Maps
See more of the world with high-resolution Satellite and Street View images. You can even see topography with the new Terrain view. You can also search for a nearby business type (for example, “Restaurant”) and then tap on that business to see the route and directions from your current location.
Notes
With its expansive display and large, on-screen keyboard, iPad makes jotting down notes easy. In landscape mode, you get not only a note-taking page but a list of all your notes. It even circles the current note in red. So you can see where you are at a glance.
Calendar
iPad makes it easy to keep on schedule by displaying Day, Week, Month or List views of your calendar. That way, you can see an overview of a whole month, or the details of a single day. iPad will even show multiple calendars at once, so you can manage work and family calendars at the same time.
Contacts
The Contacts app on iPad makes finding names, numbers and other important information quicker and easier than ever before. A new view lets you see both your complete contact list, and a single contact, simultaneously. Need directions? Just tap on an address inside a contact and it’ll open Maps.
Home Screen
The Home Screen gives you one-tap access to everything on iPad. You can also customize your Home Screen by adding your favorite apps and websites, or using your own photos for the background. And you can move apps around to arrange them in any order you want.
Spotlight Search

Apple iPad Reactions:
Wired’s Eliot Van Buskirk says “The iPad offers a step forward for music fans and recorded-music companies in the form of support for the iTunes LP format — a deluxe, extras-laden package that previously played only on desktops and laptops running iTunes.”
Bob Lefsetz says “I’m not convinced I need one! The iPad is almost like a computer without software. Why do I need one again? There’s no MacPaint, like on the original Macintosh. There’s nothing revolutionary. I give Apple credit for building it, but I’ve got to give them credit for building the Cube too.”
The Free Software Foundation’s Holmes Wilson said in a statement that “This is a huge step backward in the history of computing. If the first personal computers required permission from the manufacturer for each new program or new feature, the history of computing would be as dismally totalitarian as the milieu in Apple’s famous superbowl ad.”
Billboard’s Antony Bruno says “It’s fair to say that the newly-unveiled, over-hyped and much-anticipated iPad tablet computer will not be the mobile music business game-changer that previous Apple offerings were, like the iPhone and the App Store. That’s not to say it will have no impact; it will have more of an incremental, trickle-down effect on existing business models rather than enabling new ones.”
ProToolerBlog’s Stiff says “I’d like to say that I see great potential here, but it’s all up to the app developers. I recently did an interview with Jordan Rudess who, besides his work with Dream Theater, is an avid iPhone and multi-touch endorser. He sees a very bright future for music when it comes to multi-touch and it’s very hard not to feel that passion.”
CDM’s Peter Kirn has a scathing reaction to the iPad introduction, saying “I think the new, mobile Apple is doing immense harm to the computing legacy the company has forged. We could have had a Mac tablet today. Instead, we have a giant iPhone – and that’s a decision that has some serious repercussions.”
Audio Cookbook’s John Keston says “I see the iPad as a very pretty, but bulky iPod Touch / Kindle great for Facebook, movies, and e-books, but not something that’s likely to become a significant platform for music or sound design.”
SoundDownUnder’s Damian says “The iPad will be able to be used for virtual keyboards/synths, virtual drum kits, virtual tactile response interface and even a virtual mixer (maybe in conjunction with being connected to a PowerMac/ Macbook etc)… it will also be intersting to see if some of the big music software companies embrace this product as a control surface for their proprietry software.”

Because Akai Professional and Ableton designed the APC20 specifically for Ableton Live, you don’t need to map its controls to talk to the software. Just connect your laptop to the APC20 via USB and you’re ready to make magic. The APC20 is plug and play, so you don’t need to install drivers. First-time setup is literally three steps: load the included Ableton Live software, plug in and power up your APC20, and select the APC20 as Ableton Live’s controller. That’s it. No mapping, no setup, no hassles.
The APC20 comes pre-mapped for instant use with Ableton Live software, so if you’re new to it, you’ll find using the APC20 to be easy to get around on. And if you’re an experienced Live user, you’ll be happy to note that you can custom-map every single button and fader on the APC20 to completely customize the controls for the way you like to work.
VISUAL FEEDBACK
The APC20 talks directly to Ableton Live, and Live talks directly to the APC20. This bidirectional communication makes the APC20 an advanced controller in that it can receive feedback from the software and display it on its Clip Launch matrix. The Clip Matrix gives you an instant view of clip status: what’s loaded, what’s playing, and what’s being recorded. Each state displays in the grid in a different color so you can get a quick picture of clip state. You can shift your clip focus and get an overview of the clips you have loaded for your set.
PROFESSIONAL CONSTRUCTION
Ableton selected Akai Professional as its partner in developing the APC20 because of Akai Pro’s leadership position in great-feeling controllers that are rock solid, rugged, and precise. From the legendary MPC series that changed the way music is made to the industry-standard MPD and MPK controllers, Akai Professional is revered by musicians, DJs, and producers everywhere for creating the feel that powers their creativity. The APC20 is built with a rugged, metal chassis and slip-proof rubber detailing. There’s no flimsy plastic here. Faders are solid and precise for pinpoint performance.
CREATIVE CONTROL
The APC20 comes with Ableton Live Akai Professional APC Edition software, which is fully functional for performance and production. Owners of standalone editions of Ableton Live 7 or 8 can also work seamlessly with the APC20. Live 7 with the latest automatic update has full support for the APC20 and all versions of Live 8 are APC20-ready.
The APC20 also enables special clip-status views and feedback that only the APC20’s matrix can display. The matrix is not limited to only 40 clips: you can scroll and shift, enabling you to access, control, and perform with an unlimited number of cells.
The APC20 has nine faders, which you can assign to volume control, pan, sends, and a choice of three user-mapped modes. You have even more control power with special controls including Tap Tempo, Tempo Nudge, record enables, solo/cues, and two assignable footswitch inputs. A new User Mode enables you to use the Clip Launch buttons to control instruments and the Drum Rack.
Designed in partnership with Ableton, the APC20 is the ideal controller for performers who like to perform in a small amount of space for maximum portability. It’s also perfect for players who want to combine multiple controllers in their setup thanks to its small footprint. Don’t settle for cheap, plastic imitations. From the company whose name is synonymous with the word production, the APC20 is the serious choice.

Arturia Prophet V is a soft synths combined replica, visually and sonically, of the Prophet-5 and Prophet VS, the FIRST and the LAST synthesizers created by Sequential Circuits. Using the PROPHET V will be second nature for the connoisseurs. And if you are new to these synths, the only thing you will miss by not having the hardware versions is the workout from transporting them to the studio. Finally, since the PROPHET V is designed with Arturia’s TAE® technology, you can be sure you will not give up sound quality.
Arturia Prophet V version 2 offers major new features and improvements:
Arturia Prophet V Features
Arturia Prophet 5 Interface
The virtual emulation offered in the Prophet V is an exact replica of the original instrument and uses the same subtractive synthesis model. Subtractive synthesis refers to the filtering of sounds in a specific way in order to create harmonically rich waveforms and new timbres. Our reproduction of Subtractive synthesis with TAE® guarantees the sound quality of the instrument.
The Prophet V carries all of the original parameters, and the 40 original presets of the Prophet 5. The potentiometers or switches associated to these 54 parameters will permit you to create an infinite variety of sounds that were native to the original synthesizer.
Arturia Prophet 5 features:
Arturia Prophet VS Interface
The Prophet VS uses wave table or vector oscillators. In this type of synthesis, the oscillator waveforms are digitally stored in a table which the user can freely select, depending on the texture of the sound that is required. With the VS you can recreate that classic 80’s wave table synthesis sound within your computer.
There are 96 digitally sampled waveform types at your fingertips. Use up to 4 oscillators simultaneously and mix them in real time by sweeping the joystick or the 5 point envelope. The Prophet VS brings you a unique sound that has the strength to stand on its own, but at the same time is complementary to that of the Prophet 5.
Arturia Prophet VS features:
Compatibility with the presets of the original synthesizer
Arturia Prophet Hybrid Interface
In Hybrid mode we believe we have brought something extra special. One of the things that are so great about having a new synthesizer is the unexpected things that you can discover with it, those delightful moments in musical creation when you stumble upon a sound that you weren’t looking for. Hybrid mode provides a combination of the Prophet 5 and Prophet VS stacked one on top of the other. Thus an entirely new sound palette to mix and blend will be at your disposal: the analogue subtractive synthesizer in the Prophet 5 AND the digital wave-table or vector synthesizer of the Prophet VS.
Made up of all the parameters of the two instruments and more:

Access Music announced OS4 update for the entire Virus TI series. The new update adds exiting and innovative new sound design features and will be available free of charge to all Virus TI users.
Here is a list of new audio effects included in the Virus TI OS4:
Stomp Box Effects
OS4 for the entire Virus TI line of synthesizers brings 6 more distortion flavors to the table, modeled on vintage guitar distortion pedals. Every one of these classic pedals is famous for its distinctive character and has been exploited by some of the greatest guitar heroes of all time. The virtual stomp boxes feature carefully modeled distortion curves and tonal characteristics and include tone controls where appropriate.
Mint Overdrive
The sound of this one just screams tubes – a very special kind of overdrive which results in a wonderful smokey tone. Good for achieving a subtle distortion effect whilst still retaining headroom for dynamics.
Curry Overdrive
A more extreme distortion – like in the original, this does not feature a Tone control.
Saffron Overdrive
The ‘orange’ one. A very harsh distortion, popular with the grunge movement.
Onion Overdrive
A big distortion effect famous for its fuzzy character.
Pepper Overdrive
A clear, powerful distortion that??s perfect for making leads cut right through the mix. Tone control to soften sound with a lowpass filter.
Chili Overdrive
A classic “fuzzbox” overdrive. No tone control, just in-your-face fuzz.
Speaker Cabinet
To compliment the new vintage distortions, a speaker cabinet simulation was added to the effect section. The new effect type greatly helps to fine tune the frequency response of any sound and to give it more focus in the mix.
Vowel Filter Effect
This effect is a simple and effective way to vocalize any sound similar to the way a talk box or vocoder would do.
Comb Filter Effect
The new comb filter creates everything from subtle, pitched overtones to extreme time-warped deconstruction of any given patch.
Arp To Matrix
OS4 for the Virus TI series introduces a powerful new feature that allows you use the arpeggiator pattern to modulate any of the parameters available to the modulation matrix. You can use this to create dynamic, rhythmical patterns within a sound, similar to what you can achieve with a step sequencer.
Update to Virus TI OS4 will be available for FREE in Q1/2010 to all Virus TI users.

Ableton and Serato presents The Bridge, the first result of the partnership announced in October 2008 between Ableton Software (the makers of Live) and Serato Audio Research (makers of Scratch professional DJ solution).
The Bridge spans the gap between music production and DJing, creating a natural link between Ableton Live and Serato Scratch Live or ITCH. The Bridge provides a powerful fusion of DJ and production tools, opening a world of opportunities for DJing, remixing and live performance.
You can cross the Bridge in either direction:
A. Ableton to Serato
The Bridge provides Ableton Transport Control (ATC), giving you turntable-style control of your own multitrack productions. Simply drag an Ableton Live Set to a deck in Scratch Live or ITCH and use your turntables, CDJ or ITCH controller to control the transport. With ATC, Scratch Live or ITCH provides your productions with deck control, mixing, nudging and DJ style looping, while you can remix, mute/solo tracks, use virtual instruments, change drum patterns, manipulate audio, tweak effects and launch loops on the fly in Ableton Live.
Activating the ‘Ableton View’ in Scratch Live or ITCH opens a representation of Live’s Session View, where you can launch clips and scenes, control instruments and devices, mix, mute and solo—all from within your ITCH or Scratch Live user interface. If you need more detail, just switch to the full Ableton Live application for complete control.
The Ableton View displays critical information from your Ableton Live Set, including:
The Ableton View can be customized to show 4, 5, or 8 scenes, and 4, 6 or 8 tracks.
B. Serato to Ableton
Play your mix rather than cut and paste in a DAW. Forget about having to start a mixtape from scratch because of a mistake at minute fifty-nine. The Bridge is the ultimate mixtape creation tool, letting you export your Scratch Live or ITCH mix as an Ableton Live set. Depending on your Serato hardware setup, fader movements, EQ tweaks and Crossfader cuts on your DJ mixer are recorded as automation and can be edited after the tape stops rolling.
Before you start your DJ set, choose save as ‘.als’ from the recording menu within Scratch Live or ITCH. Instead of recording an audio file, you’ll get a fully automated Ableton Live arrangement, complete with song placement and automation data.
You can edit your Ableton Live Set as much as you want: add new loops, apply effects, adjust your timing, smooth out your fades and obviously, correct any slip-ups. Not only does The Bridge make things easier, you also get a world of additional tools for tweaking your mix to perfection.

API 527 a single channel module based on API 225L discreet channel compressor and the API 2500 Stereo Bus Compressor.
Features common to the line like “feed forward” (NEW) and “feed back” (OLD) gain reduction methods selectable on the front panel, provide a choice of “that old way”, or “the new way” of compression, for the highest level of flexibility in signal gain control. The “old way” or Feed-Back method is what most of the classic compressors used for the gain control circuit. The “new way” gain reduction is more typical of the newer VCA type compressors that rely on RMS detectors for the gain control voltage.
There is a “SOFT”/”HARD” switch for an “over-easy” type compression resulting in a very natural, uncompressed sound or a typical sharp knee type that lends itself to a much more severe limiting effect.
The Threshold control sets the initial operating parameter. The 527 can be operated with signal input levels from +10 dBu to -20 dBu.
The patented THRUST® function can be switched in and out via the front panel as well, applying a high pass filter before the RMS detector circuit that preserves that punchy bottom end.
The 527 is designed for individual channel use or, through the use of the LINK switch, two units can be combined for Stereo applications via a motherboard bus connection.
The 527 Compressor/Limiter makes use of the 2510 and 2520 Discrete Op-amps and exhibits the reliability, long life, and signature sound which are characteristic of API products.

3RD Power is proud to announce the SV3015 Stereo Valve Power amplifier. SV3015 is a Stereo Valve Power Amplifier that provides switchable 30 or 15 watts of pure tube tone and amplification designed for recording and touring musicians that demand the uncompromising sound and feel of a pure tube output stage without excessive volume.
“Basically, the SV3015 takes all the flexibility and tone found in the power amp section of our flagship HD100 tube amp and puts it in a rack-mount design,” notes 3RD Power founder and designer Jamie Scott. “With so many artists now using computer-based and modeling systems, we saw a need for a pure tube design to bring more warmth and classic tone to digitally-based guitar rigs. The SV3015 helps modern guitarists get the best possible tone out their rack-based rigs.”
SV3015’s Modeling Preamps
With their variety of bang-for-buck tonal simulations, modeling preamps have come a long way. But for discerning musicians, they often fall short of delivering the authentic performance of a real tube guitar amplifier. Why? The simple answer is that it would take literally millions of hours to effectively simulate the finer aspects of even one single amplifier. We’re talking about things such as current flow, voltage swing (several hundred volts!), tube types, bias settings, transformers, circuit impedances, speaker construction, cone excursion (you know, actually pushing air!), room acoustics etc. While it could be done, the variety-to-cost ratio wouldn’t make much sense.
SV3015’s Hybrid Approach to Guitar Tone
Early-era modeling amps provided great value in an affordable package that included a solid-state power amp attached to speakers. They sounded good by themselves but often got lost in the mix when playing with a band. The solution: go hybrid. Shape your tone with a modeling preamp of your choice, then connect it to a tube power amplifier and extension speaker cabinet. Now you’ve got tone shaping variety on the front end connected to a tube amplifier and speaker with actual electrons and air molecules flowing!
SV3015 is Intuitive
Operating the unit is simple: each discreet channel is equipped with individual controls for Volume, Presence and “PUSH.” The PUSH control is a 3RD POWER innovation that provides low-frequency enhancement allowing you to dial in the perfect amount of rich bottom-end tone.
SV3015 is Versatile
Each discreet EL34 (or optional 6L6) output section includes a selectable Power Mode (30 watts/15 watts), Impedance (16 ohm/ 8 ohm) and Phase reversal. Imagine configuring your setup to operate one channel at full power for clean sounds (more clean headroom), the other set at 15 watts for overdrive sounds (more output stage compression and harmonics)… now a jaw-dropping reality with the SV3015!
Have you ever plugged into a multi-amp setup and found the end result to be a mushy, hollow sound? It was most likely due to a phase mismatch between amplifiers. The SV3015 makes certain that you can optimally run your modeling setup in conjunction with other guitar amps. So, when the moment arises that you need to play through a multi-amp setup, you’ll be good to go without any weirdness in your phase.
