901sound

For a year now, the Fulcrum EXP has been conquering the pedalboards of creative guitarists. Now, with the Fulcrum MIDI, there is an alternative for those who want to control their sound processors digitally or don’t have two EXP inputs.

With its all-direction floating platform and two independent axles, the Fulcrum is the most innovative expression pedal on the market. It allows smooth, musical fading of multiple sound parameters simultaneously and intuitively, with a casual foot movement.

Especially with modern amp modelers like Fractal Audio or Quad Cortex, the possibilities are virtually endless. Whether it’s practice-oriented adjustment of amp gain and delay or the craziest effect sounds: with the Fulcrum, you can now mix sounds as if on a palette, instead of having to switch each sound change on and off individually.

The Fulcrum EXP’s incredibly robust construction is also part of the package here. And the Fulcrum MIDI is, of course, also Made in Germany.

Baron Elektro-Gitarren

Oliver Baron will officially present his latest model, the Model 2, for the first time at the Guitar Summit 2024 in Mannheim. This solid-body model expands the range of Baron Elektro-Gitarren and offers a versatile alternative to the already successful Model 1 hollow-body version.

The Model 2 features a solid body made of lightweight, resonant okumé wood, which provides a more compact sound with more compression and pressure – especially with distorted sounds. Compared to the hollowbody version, the body is flatter and made without hollow chambers, which produces a denser, more centered sound characteristic.

Despite the simpler construction, the workmanship is of the usual high quality. The Model 2 impresses with its quick response, balanced sound characteristics and a long, even finish. It is suitable for a range of musical styles and offers a more affordable entry into the Baron universe, without compromising on quality.

The instrument is available now for a price starting at €4,900 and comes with high-quality accessories such as a molded case, certificate and tools.

Blackstar Amplification

Jared James Nichols has established himself as one of the most talented musicians worldwide, a true “player’s player”. Jared has been a BLACKSTAR artist for 14 years, so it was only a matter of time before his second signature model was released: the JJN 50 & JJN 212 VOC.

Jared has been playing the St. James 50 EL34H live since its release, and his new signature amp is based on this proven platform. The JJN 50 features a switch that reduces amplifier power from 50 to 2 watts, as well as a SAG setting that provides more compression. Together with the integrated reactive load and professional connections, including XLR and USB-C, the JJN 50 is the perfect companion for quiet stages. The design team from Northampton has also developed a special BLUES POWER circuit that drives the amplifier with rich overtones and harmonious overdrive sounds.

Many speaker types were tested to match the JJN 212 VOC speaker cabinet. Jared finally opted for a Celestion G12T-75 on top and a lightweight Celestion Zephyr on the bottom. This blend keeps the cabinet light and perfectly matches his playing style.

Cordial

Future-oriented on stage – new Ethernet cables from Cordial: Data cables are a key factor within the event technology sector – also and especially for guitarists and bassists who deal with more extensive stage setups. The requirements regarding digital projects are constantly expanding, particularly due to factors such as application-neutral infrastructures and a significant increase in network communications and data diversity.

The products are available in different lengths from 0.3 meters to 150 meters to provide the right variants for different distances on stage and FOH.

For its new Ethernet cable range Cordial predominantly uses polyurethane (PUR) sheathing. This polymer ensures particularly high durability and reliability even under adverse conditions, making the products ideal for outdoor events.

Flattley Guitar Pedals

The “Valkyrie” Chorus pedal is our take on those 80’s flangers we all had but sadly sold at some point. Using similar delay line technology from that era, the Valkyrie pedal also has a wider range of control and depth to be able to do more than “just that chorus sound”. A classic effect derived from taking a signal through a delay line whose speed is being modulated by a low frequency oscillator and then adding that signal to the original. Simple to drive with just two controls, Rate and Depth.

GuitArT HN / GuitArT Axes

Just in time for the 10th anniversary of the opening of GuitArT HN – our music store with a custom guitar shop in Heilbronn – we are launching a new brand: GuitArT Axes

We are starting with two models that could hardly be more different.

On the one hand, the strictly limited 10th Anniversary model, which will be shown and available to order for the first time at the Guitar Summit. A real shredder axe in the spirit of the 80s transferred to the here and now. The first 3 binding orders placed during the summit days will receive a €500 summit discount.

(but the buyer can also donate the €500 in full or in part as a donation; detailed information is available at the GuitArT stand 065)

The second model has little in common with our anniversary model, but is our own modern interpretation of a classic. Right down to the model name, our penchant for hybrids is reflected in the TS-HB90.

The few similarities between the two new GuitArT axes can be found partly in the woods, the choice of a (different) bridge humbucker from Bare Knuckle and, of course, both axes are made in Germany.

Hagstrom Guitars

Hagstrom introduces three exciting new models for musicians. The Nekromant Series (€ 1229 – 1379) offers bassists a new sonic dimension with 4- and 5-string versions. Featuring a mahogany body, set-in neck, and exclusive “Gehenna” soapbar humbuckers, this series delivers warm, clear sound. The active/passive switch and 3-band onboard preamp allow for flexible tone shaping.

For guitarists seeking a blend of tradition and innovation, the Adina (€ 839) is the perfect choice. Inspired by the legendary Hagstrom Automatic, it impresses with an elegant offset design and a flame maple-mahogany combination. The pickup configuration, featuring the Hagstrom P-50 and Custom 60 humbucker, offers versatile tonal options. Its wraparound bridge maximizes sustain and intonation.

The Megin (€ 739) is designed for professional guitarists aiming to stand out on any stage. With a mahogany body and two Custom 62 humbuckers, it delivers versatile sounds from smooth melodies to epic solos. The set-in neck and wrap-around bridge enhance resonance, response, and string tension.

All models will be available in various finishes starting in September 2024, with additional versions arriving in November.

Hopf Electric Guitars

With the Saturn 23, we interpret the legendary Starclub guitar from the 60s in a modern and innovative way. It was developed together with Boris Dommenget – a great of his guild known for his high-end custom guitars. The arched top and back of the Saturn are hand-stitched and its body is made in traditional construction – proof of the extraordinary skill of this master-builder, who learned his craft at the traditional company Hopf end of the 70s.

The elegant offset-design with two sound holes and pearloid-binding for the body, neck and headstock is accentuated by a sophisticated emerald-green flipflop finish, which changes from green to goldburst. The materials are exquisite: a top made of alpine spruce, sides and back made of maple and a mahogany center block preventing unwanted resonances. The one-piece mahogany-neck in medium-C-shape with ebony fingerboard and diamond inlays made of mother-of-pearl offers optimal playability. All supported by the Duesenberg Radiator tremolo.

Actual highlight is the sound: the patented Doublebuckers deliver both powerful PAF sounds and crisp single-coil tones – very different from what you know from usual coil-splitting. With the innovative “Twang Control” and “The Brain” as a control-system, the Saturn 23 opens-up endless sound options – hearing is believing!

Hylight Electronics

Hylight Electronics has designed three new pedals: the HyFuzz MK I, HyFuzz MK II, and GENX MK I, combining classic fuzz tones with modern updates. Each pedal is hand-wired point to point, using high-quality components and no machinery, reflecting the craftsmanship of the 1960s. This approach ensures reliability, precision, and attention to detail. Both the HyFuzz MK I and MK II feature Fuzz Sustain and Output Level controls, while the GENX MK I adds a variable bias filter for more versatile sound shaping.

The GENX MK I is a modern twist on a classic tone, offering a wide range of fuzz textures from gritty breakups to smooth, sustained fuzz. The HyFuzz MK I uses original germanium OC81D transistors to replicate the iconic sound of the 1965 fuzz, similar to the tones used by The Beatles. The redesigned HyFuzz MK II offers sharp, refined fuzz with endless sustain, perfect for guitar harmonics.

All three pedals are priced at €399. Visit Hylight Electronics at Booth 029 to explore these unique fuzz pedals further.

Invaders Amplification

Lovers of beautiful amps, this guitar combo is made for you! The 530 BlueVerb Combo is an ultra-compact amp mounted in 6L6 in the vintage Californian spirit, offering very natural clean sounds as well as a slightly fuzzy crunch.

The combo is equipped with an ambient spring reverb that does not distort the basic tone of the amp. Delivering a basic 30W, managing a volume in all uses is very simple thanks to its 30/15W power reduction mode and its master volume.

Inverse Guitars

The Manta baritone guitar from Inverse Guitars is a world first that revolutionizes the traditional guitar design. With my handcrafted, innovative headless design, I combine the advantages of modern technology with the proven properties of conventional mechanics and strings. This concept not only ensures impressive tuning stability, but also reduces the weight of the baritone guitar to 2.6 kg, which makes playing over longer periods of time much more comfortable.

Another highlight of the Manta are the hand-wound, matched Woodoo pickups. These specially designed pickups deliver a warm, full sound that is equally convincing in studio recordings and on stage. The baritone string length also opens up new sound worlds and enables musicians to produce lower notes with a warm, full sound.

The special effect finish of the Manta not only gives it a special aesthetic, but also underlines the individuality of this instrument. This surface treatment makes the guitar a real eye-catcher and ensures that it stands out in any environment.

With my guitars, I want to point the development of the guitar in a new direction and offer musicians an indispensable tool to help them realize their musical visions. This Manta baritone is priced at €3,700.
