OUR COMPANY STILL THINKS INSIDE THE BOX
When it comes to building a guitar, there is a big difference between assembly and artistry. If history has
taught us anything, it is that there is no substitute for skilled craftsmanship. At Eastman Guitars, each instru-
ment is given the attention to detail required to ensure that it reaches its maximum potential. Features such as
hand-scalloped bracing and precision tap tuning are just two examples of the way we differentiate ourselves
from our competitors. Considering the outward beauty of an Eastman Guitar, its often easy to overlook the
skill and artistry applied to the inside of such a fine instrument. Then again, one strum will change all that.

Once again my MARK
FIVE
was an awe-inspiring
tool to write and track with
for the new Dream Theater
record. From the smooth,
chimey cleans, to the articulate
huge crunch and liquidly
expressive solo tones, it
delivered the goods all the
way through the album.
We were going lor "hnished
tracks while writing in the
studio, and in many cases
the tone was so good we
used the scratch tracks as
keepers! I had a complete
blast experimenting with
sounds, dialing in tones and
playing through the greatest
amp on the planet on our new

For Over Two Decades I have taught more than 30,000 people about tube guitar amplifiers
through my advice columns in major magazines, my ve books, my three instructional DVDs, my online
Tube Guitar Amp Electronics Correspondence Course, and my weekly Tuesday night Webinars, both
for experienced and one for the newbies. I get excited when I think about taking a few electronic
components (resistors, capacitors, potentiometers, and tubes) and
conguring them just right, and having the miracle of great guitar
tone. It is science and art all in the same mindset with the inspiration of
analog tube guitar tone at its nest. Please take the next logical step
and go to my website or call me for personalized attention.

THE NEW ELECTRO-HARMONIX
8 STEP PROGRAM connects to the expres-
sion pedal or control voltage (CV) input of your
compatible efects and synthesizers to deliver in-
novative rhythmic sequencer control. With eight
independent sliders, each controlling a sequence
step, it can transform an ordinary auto-wah into a
step flter, a tremolo into a syncopated pulse efect
and a pitch-shifter into an arpeggiator.
The Mode control lets you modify the number of
steps in a sequence, its depth and its glide rate.
Four direction modes forward, reverse, bounce
and random are selectable on the fly.
Set the sequence rate with the Rate slider or Tap
Tempo footswitch. Or sync it to a drum machine or
DAW via MIDI clock. Six Tap Tempo Divide modes
maximize rhythmic diversity. An expression pedal/
CV input enables external, real-time control of rate,
depth, glide, and sequence length.
Save and recall your settings with 10 internal
presets, or use the optional Foot Controller (sold
separately) and expand your presets to 100.
Whether used with your synth or guitar efects,
the 8 Step Programs awe-inspiring sound
shaping contol is the prescription for
invigorated creativity!
*The 8 Step Program is compatible with
most devices that accept CV/Expression input.

BASS BOOST FUZZ
Vintage pedal hounds know that
germanium fuzz sounds are way
sweeter than silicon fuzzbut only
when the temperature is just right and
doesnt spike. The Boost Fuzz solves
that problem by nailing that creamy
germanium tone, consistently all night
long. This SAG control allows notes to
bloom and sing at your command, for
dynamic, organic performances.
BOOST FUZZ
Putting an overdrive pedal in front of a
hard-pushed amp has been the secret
weapon for generations of guitarists
wanting to punch up the midrange and
add sustain. The Boost Overdrive is
packed with voluminous amounts of
screamin tone. Just hit the Boost switch
to go bigger and badder. The unique
SPARKLE control adds upper harmonics
for an open, snappy sound.
BOOST OVERDRIVE
Hey, remember the 80s? A lot of
bad clothes perhaps but some
way-cool, aggressive distortions.
Tight, muscular grind with buzz-saw
harmonics never went out of fashion
and the Boost Distortion delivers
that fast punchy tone. It features its
own unique SAG control that adds
an expressive,tube-like response to
every pick stroke.

the Straight Truth About Pickups by Jason Lollar
Lollar Guitars PO Box 2450 Vashon Island, WA 98070 (206) 463-9838 www.lollarguitars.com
This was more like the dragon chasing us over the years its
been one of our most requested pickup designs. Of course,
we had to add our own twists, including sizing it to drop into
a standard humbucker route. A2 magnets, custom covers,
lots of attitude.
Starting with a 60s Country Gentleman as a benchmark, we
went after the classic rock-a-billy bucker tone, adding some
Lollar along the way. The neck pickup is warm and buttery,
with a clear, present top end. The bridge pickup is fat and
honky, with a rich, dened low end. Combined, they sparkle
and spank with clarity and punch. Theyll cover everything
from OZ rock to Nashville Super Pickers to Hot Rods and
Hot Babes Go Man, Go!
Ive personally design over a hundred different pickup models,
including most of the vintage classics, some obscure works of
art from steel guitars to clavinets, and even a few of my own
designs that have never existed in the past.
I invite you to visit our website for sound clips, videos and
current product information or feel free to give us a call.

We have played through hundreds, perhaps thousands of
different monitor systems, says Richards. StageSource
speakers provide the most natural amplied acoustic guitar
tone that Ive heard. The quality of the sound is so good,
it is truly inspiring and helps me perform better.
Acoustic guitar players are switching to StageSource
because it sounds better than any other speaker.

Time for a Reality Check
You trust your friends to tell you the truth and go to them for a reality check when you are not sure what to do
next. It should be the same with your studio monitors. You need to trust your speakers to tell you the truth
about your mix, not deceive you with over exaggerated bass or highs.
Since the 1970s, the iconic white woofer and signature sound of Yamaha's near-field reference monitors have
become a genuine industry standard for a reasontheir unerring accuracy. So next time you need a reality
check when youre mixing, trust your newest friends in the studio, the new HS near-field monitors from Yamaha.
Introducing the New HS Series Studio Monitors with Redesigned Woofers and Larger 1'' Tweeters
