Hi there Internet, Gerald here from Five Star Music here. Blaggin’ today about our Coco Cordoba products, focusing on the new Disney Pixar Coco x Cordoba Collection.

Here are some words about the Coco Cordoba guitars:

“Embark on a musical adventure with the Coco Guitar, inspired by Coco, an all new film by Disney•Pixar. Built with a spruce top, mahogany back and sides and durable satin finish, the Coco Guitar sounds clear, warm and melodic, just like the guitars in the film. Its soft nylon strings are perfect for beginners and its smaller body (7/8 size) is comfortable to hold and play. The beautiful laser-etched design is inspired by the guitars and Mexican heritage featured throughout the film.”

Hi there Internet, Gerald here from Five Star Music here. Blaggin’ today about our Two Notes products, focusing on the new Two Notes Torpedo Captor.

Back in the day (and I can say this as I’m 26), you’d be able to crank your 100w amps as loud as you want. Nowadays with annoying things like people, you can’t. Enter the Two Notes Torpedo Captor. The Two Notes Torpedo Captor cuts about 20db out of your sound. We plugged it briefly into a JCM800 to give it a try and couldn’t believe how well it worked. Made one of the loudest amps we have completely usable in home situations, and even better suited to the studio.

We currently have them available in the following:

• Two Notes Torpedo Captor 16ohm
• Two Notes Torpedo Captor 4ohm
• Two Notes Torpedo Captor 8ohm

You love the sound of your amplifier pushed right to the magic sweet spot where the best tones are.

Hi there Internet, Gerald here from Five Star Music here. Blaggin’ today about our Marshall amps, focusing on the Marshall 1987x Plexi.

You think amps. You think Marshall. It’s only natural. Famous for huge amps such as the JVM210, JVM410, and the classc JCM800. There’s nothing more classic than a plexi sound, and that is certainly found in the Marshall 1987X Plexi. It has been described as more aggressive and heady than the traditional plexi from the 60s, and is well worth a listen. The Marshall 1987X Plexi is also aesthetically identical to the original, while retaining all the traditional tonal characteristics of the classic. They’ve thrown in a modern touch of adding in an effects loop as well, so you get the ultimate amalgamation of modern and traditional.

Here are some words from Marshall about it:

“While the 50 Watt 1987X head shares the same ‘Plexi’ front and rear panel features as the 100 Watt 1959SLP, it has its own distinctive sonic personality. More aggressive than the “60s ‘Plexi’s, the 1987X is much more of the “72 period, with a heady, sweet/aggressive tone. These tonal characteristics are what define this much respected all-valve head. Much care and effort has gone into ensuring that the 1987X remains true to those tonal characteristics, as well as ensuring it remains aesthetically true to the original ‘Plexi’. The only modern addition to this re-issue is a tonally transparent Series FX Loop.”

The Strymon Lex Pedal can be tweaked with 8 controls, which allow you to delve into creating your perfect rotary sound. Check out some words from Strymon below:

“Born to Revolve.
When we decided to create a studio-class pedal that faithfully recreates the classic, unmistakable sound of the most sought-after rotating speaker system, we prepared to study every nuance and finest detail. The Strymon sound design labs have been filled with those signature, swirling, three-dimensional sounds, as we painstakingly analyzed and recreated the physics and mechanics behind these systems. The complete rotary system. Lex provides you with a complete, accurately reproduced rotary system: the low-frequency bass rotor, the rotating treble horn, the tube-driven amplifier, finely tuned microphone placement, and all the complex sonic interactions between these elements. Utilizing a ridiculously powerful SHARC DSP, every drop of processing power is harnessed to authentically represent these details.”
