Introducing the NíquelPuro line of Electric Guitar Strings by the Gabriel Tenorio String Co. These are still constructed and formulated like the original GTSco line but feature the highest quality pure nickel wrap available. (original GTSco strings already feature the highest amount of nickel available in nickel plated steel)   NíquelPuro is an evolution in my string making. My goal has always been to make the best sounding and feeling string. I wasn’t interested in pure nickel at first. I felt that all the pure nickel I had ever seen in the market didn’t feel comfortable and that it was a gimmick to improve the signal strength of a hex core string. Many folks felt that nickel was warmer, others swore that nickel was louder or brighter. I wasn’t going to make pure nickel if it meant making strings that didn’t feel right to me or if it meant appeasing a boutique “tone fetish.”   I had been testing nickel out for about a year and had come to enjoy how durable and strong pure nickel is to nickel plated steel. I felt this right away while making a batch of D strings which feature a very fine wrap wire. The tone once the string was installed was rich and full. A very good strong tone that had even more body than the NPS.   After running more tests, I’ve decided to bring these to market. Like with my own personal strings I used on tour in my younger days, it took me a while to feel comfortable and confident in selling these to the public. I just want to make a good string that is worth your hard-earned gig money.   I am always surprised at how long the strings last for a majority of the professional musicians who put them to the test show after show, session after session. I know that the NíquelPuro will also stand up to that test.   ·      Pure Nickel is stronger and longer lasting than nickel plated steel wrap wire ·      Pure Nickel has stronger magnetic properties than nickel plated steel, thus producing a more output and improving signal strength ·      NíquelPuro strings by GTSco feature the same round core construction and custom twist innovations of the original line ·      GTSco strings in general, use more “Tone Metal” per wound string than most brands   Some more background and thoughts on the matter….  Nickel is a very vague term thrown around the gear industry. Almost every single wound electric guitar string employs nickel. There are varying grades of nickel plated steel and pure nickel wrap wire in use in the modern string industry. Nickel is ferromagnetic, that is important because it makes it possible to get more output from an electric guitar. It is a widely known characteristic of this metal. Steel is not magnetic on its own therefore other metals are added to different kinds of steel alloys to add magnetic properties. Without it, strings across the board would not perform as well. We know already that different metal wraps produce their own signature sound. That is also true of the NíquelPuro line. For lack of a better term, I am going to call wrap metal “Tone Metal.” By virtue of my construction and formulation techniques, I offer more tone metal in my products as a rule.  Cost cutting techniques in the industry have compromised the quality of metal some string companies use and even guided formulations focused on using thicker cores to save on expensive wrap wire. This can make for an opaque, albeit durable, string. I don’t believe this approach serves the instrument, the player, nor the tone, well.   NíquelPuro Electric Guitar Strings are made to help musicians play better, feel confident, and rest assured that they are getting the most from their instrument. You shouldn’t have to beat your instrument or destroy your hands to get a good sound, the strings just need to work for you.   That’s just how I feel about it. Steel RoundCore, Nickeled Steel wrap. Handmade, custom wound for a better fit. SHORT twist is an option for guitars with Tele or half Tele type bridges where the strings enter through the ferrules at the rear of the bridge plate. Short twists are also required for certain Mustangs, Les Paul Jrs, Coronets If you are using a Strat or Tele type guitar where the strings go through the body, use the STD option. STD can also be used for Tuneomatic/stoptail combinations. If you’re using a Bigsby or floating tremolo system like those on Jazzmasters or have a trapeze style tailpiece, choose TREM twists for the proper fit and the added stability and durability of the extra long twist-a GTSco innovation.

The original PB*Round was designed by Guadalupe Custom Strings founder, Francisco Gonzalez.  I continue to make the formula for Phosphor Bronze 13 gauge strings today.  I built the rest of the line of acoustic from extensive testing and feedback from both players and luthiers. This line definitely builds on the classic punchy sound of the PB*Round string set while offering consistent tone and more durability without the use of any additives or coatings.   For Resonators, I recommend 13 or 14 gauge PhosphorBronze, remember to opt for Tailpiece length strings which feature the stronger and tighter LongTwists.

Cabzeus is a algorithm-based  speaker - cabinet - miking  simulator system. Connected direct to your gears this device enables you to obtain the sound of a miked-guitar amp cabinet without the hassle of miking your cabinets. Extending this basic function, we’ve built into Cabzeus a plethora of unique and powerful features that goes beyond simple speaker simulations. Stereo I/OCabzeus has 2 independent channels, each with its own input, thru, and output. Using a special software that we provide you can freely customize the simulation aspects (speaker type, cabinet type, mic placement, etc.) of each channel independently. To help you get the most of your stereo setup, we have also included powerful stereo processing functions such as : adding short delays (0.02 ms to 125 ms) to one of the channel. blending two simulation channels. independent volume and phase control.  2 Operating Modes : Stereo Cabs : simulates the process of close-miking two independent speaker cabinets. Each simulator channel has its own extensive set of parameters, including speakers and cabinet type selections, mic-placement , blending, phase, and volume, offering rich and versatile simulation scenarios for both live and direct-recording applications.   Stereo Mics : simulates the process of capturing the sound from a single speaker cabinet using two microphones, one mic is placed close to the speaker (close-mic) and the other is placed further back in the room (room-mic). An extensive set of controls offers flexible arrangements and powerful means to combine the two microphone signals into huge expansive stereo sounds. Balance of Analog and Digital.Cabzeus uses advanced DSP processing techniques coupled with clean and robust analog circuit designs which ensures optimal operating headroom and absolutely minimal noise. Each algorithm has been painstakingly hand-crafted and tuned to achieve faithful emulation of popular and proven speakers and cabinets, we literally spent hundreds of hours analyzing speakers data and an equal amount of time reconstructing their responses through complex algorithms.Speaker & Cab selectionSpeakers selections are organized into 4 classes: Guitar, Bass, Gears, and Miscellaneous.

From Greer:The Tomahawk Deluxe Drive is a great medium gain “second stage” overdrive pedal. This beauty barks and snarls, but it can also lean back and simply shift your tone just a bit. This pedal CAN RUN ON 9 AND 18 VOLTS. Now that we’ve addressed that, let’s talk about some of the characteristics of this pedal. This pedal has a purposeful EQ shift that puts it squarely in the “tweed” type tonal range. At 9 volts, it compresses slightly, like the big box tweed amps do, but still has some stiffness to it, just like those wonderful tone boxes did. At 18 volts, this beaut y has increased headroom, AND becomes a bit more stiff, in a lovely way. The Tomahawk is a touch sensitive, dynamic recreation of this classic sound that has a natural and instantly familiar drive texture found on classic albums from so many genres. Grab a tomahawk and add this classic American tone to your tonal palette.

The Lightspeed Organic Overdrive is a very natural sounding overdrive. Why "organic"?  Well, simply put, it's the clearest, most natural feeling, and best overdrive we've heard for the player looking for a natural drive tone.  Blending with the tone of the guitar and amplifier, this pedal has rich harmonics and complex but smooth clipping. The Lightspeed Overdrive is sensitive to pick attack and has a different "feel" than other overdrives. The Lightspeed can be set to be "transparent," but can also drive your signal to the edge.  On tour with Peter Stroud (Sheryl Crow, and others), Alex Weeden (Miranda Lambert), Drew Shirley (Switchfoot), J.B. Brisendine (Brother Hawk), Casey Meyer (Jim Quick and Coastline), Jason "JJ Boogie" Reichert (Arrested Development), James Duke, Matt Goldman (Glow in the Dark Studios), JR Mead (Kutless), Jordan Peters (Lauryn Hill), and more! Natural light to mild overdrive! Rich harmonics, smooth clipping! Can be set to sound like original signal (what some call "transparent")! True Bypass! Uses 9-Volt battery or standard neg. center, 2.1mm power supply. Built with top quality component 5-year to the original owner! Pedals are currently built to order, and will ship within 1-2 weeks of your order and payment CUSTOM GAMEDAY BLACK AND SILVER BRITCHES EDITIONS HAVE RED LEDs!!!

Enclosure Dimensions (in):  4.77" x 2.6" x 1.39" Power:  9-18 volt neg. center pin ONLY.   Current draw:  15mA @ 9v. Greer  Amps expands the XFR line with a new offering!  The Royal Velvet Class-A British Drive and Pre nails the feel and tone of two of Nick Greer’s favorite amps. Imagine a world in which a V*x 30 watter and a Greer Thunderbolt30 got together. In that world, you’d end up with a sound machine much like the Royal Velvet. This British drive and pre features the same transformer as the previously released, award winning SOMA63. After a year of working with this super versatile transformer, we have found a way to alter the feel of it by changing the “loading” of the transformer. This really brings the pedal to life, and makes it something truly unique in the space of drive pedals today. If you’re looking for that Class-A British grind with some chime on the top end, this beauty is what you need. The EQ is dialed in right between the AC and Thunderbolt30 tones, and the drive is oh so sweet. At 9 volts, you’ll get some grind and slight compression with the gain up and moderate output pickups. 18 volts provides more of a stiff feel, and more clean headroom with that British sparkle! Classic British tone, drive, and grind! Features a steel core transformer! Can be used as a preamp, and takes drives amazingly well (stack it--it sounds great when it's stacked with other drives)! True Bypass! Uses 9-Volt battery or standard neg. center, 2.1mm power supply. Built with top quality components Lifetime Warranty to the original owner!
