UNIVERSAL AUDIO UAD WOODROW ’55 INSTRUMENT AMPLIFIER PLUGIN
VINTAGE GUITARS V50 ELECTRIC GUITAR
Universal Audio has introduced the UAD Wood- row ’55 Instrument Amplifier, a UAD plugin that gives users the authentic tone of the American tweed guitar amp that shaped the sound of rock ’n’ roll, blues and soul music. Available natively, the Woodrow ’55 plug-in captures every nuance of the amp circuit, giving players the punchy cleans and rich tube-driven overdrive made famous by art- ists from Chuck Berry and Neil Young to modern players like Jason Isbell and Joe Bonamassa. Built upon Universal Audio’s leading amp modeling and component-level circuit analysis, UAD Woodrow ’55 puts a world-class studio amp with paired mic/ speaker cabinets at a player’s fingertips — no mics, pedals or live room required. {uaudio.com}
JHS has added the offset bodied Vintage V50 electric guitar to its self-contained, fully equipped Coaster Series Guitar Packs, while also making the guitar available as a separate instrument. The Coaster Series Guitar Packs contain all the essentials for aspiring guitar and bass players of all ages. These include a Vintage-branded pad- ded carry bag, strap, cable, pick, clip-on tuner and spare set of strings, along with a Kinsman 10 watt combo amplifier with connectivity, gain control, push button drive/clean and three-band EQ. Finished in colors that include Boulevard Black, Vintage White and Gloss Red, offset with a three-ply tortoise shell scratchplate and black control knobs, the Vintage V50 guitar itself fea- tures a pair of Alan Entwistle X2C Double Coil pickups delivering a wide range of versatile sounds and sustaining harmonics from the offset solid basswood body, rosewood finger- board and hardtail bridge. {vintageguitarsrus.com}
