Two Notes Torpedo Captor – Loadboxes in Stock at Five Star Music!

/in /by

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:

Check out some of the words from Two Notes here:

“The Torpedo Captor…
… is the little brother of the award-winning Torpedo Reload. Captor is an easy to use reactive Loadbox perfect for unleashing your favorite tube amp in a variety of modern applications and venues. If you just require attenuation from your amp to your cab, Captor has you covered. And if you want an easy and modern way to record your tube amp, Captor is simply “load” and record.

The concept
You love the sound of your amplifier pushed right to the magic sweet spot where the best tones are. Until now, the only available option was blasting your sound through a 4×12″ to properly excite a microphone. Enter Torpedo, the simplest and most realistic way to get your sound to your audience. Use the amp you love!”

Elixir Optiweb Electric Guitar Strings - Stringin Around at Five STar Music

Elixir Optiweb Electric Strings – New Coated Electric strings at Five Star Music

/in /by

Hi there Internet, Gerald here from Five Star Music here. Blaggin’ today about our Elixir Strings, focusing on the Elixir Optiweb electric strings.

My new favourite string is here. I have always liked the Elixir strings, but found that the Nanoweb coating was a bit too slippery and after a while grew a flippin’ beard. Enter the Elixir Optiweb. The coating is finer, sleeker, and feels just like a regular string. Except they last for ages! Count me in. I am particularly obsessed with the 11-49 guage, but each to their own with personal preference.

As I’m sure you all know, we also have their acoustic strings in the 80/20 finish and phosphor bronze!

Check out some words from Elixir here:

“Elixir® Electric Nickel Plated Steel Strings with OPTIWEB Coating give you the performance of a natural string — that crisp tone, natural feel and playable grip you know and love—without sacrificing the signature long-lasting tone life of Elixir Strings.”

Marshall 1987x Plexi

Marshall 1987X Plexi – Marshall Amplifiers at Five Star Music

/in /by

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.”

YAmaha Revstar RS620 now in stock at Five Star Music

Yamaha Revstar RS620 – Yamaha Guitar at Five Star MUsic

/in /by

Hi there Internet, Gerald here from Five Star Music here. Blaggin’ today about our Yamaha electric guitars, focusing on the Yamaha Revstar RS620.

The Yamaha Revstar RS620 is part of the Revstar range, featuring little brothers in the RS320 series (in black and yellow) and the RS420 as well. The Yamah Revstar RS620 is the big beastie of the lot however, being fully outfitted with all the bits and bobs and looks of a high quality instrument. Made with a mahogany body and a flamed maple top with Yamaha’s own vintage output pickups, this guitar is mint!

Here are some words directly from the wonderful humans down at Yamaha about the Yamaha Revstar RS620:

“Inspired by the 1974 Yamaha ‘Super Flighter’ guitar, the RS620 takes its design cues from a cult classic, combining them in perfect balance with the individual styling and custom-built vibe of the Revstar concept.
Its roots definitely run deep, but this isn’t your dad’s guitar.”
