a valentine gift for rocker lovers ~~ VOX amp"plug"
i'm sure he or she must like the "plug" every night to rock & roll ~~ 
hehe ~~ what r u waiting for?? get something special on this year valentine gift



Music Nomad String Fuel (Guitar Strings Care)

after testing comments : ~~
Great wide applicator design and works well initially. Solution does not last long and should be sold separately as a refill for the applicator.
In the current form, I would likely suggest an alternative that lasts longer, is less expensive, and performs similar string cleaning/lubricating. As such ... Almost the Best !!!

Complete string maintenance in an applicator that covers all strings at once.

Music Nomad's proprietary formulation allows you to both clean and protect your strings to last longer and sound better while reducing finger noise and enhancing the speed you can slide your fingers.

A Product A Day, Keep Me Fresh Always



Restores the sound of your acoustic guitar.
The Zoom A3 Pre Amp Acoustic Guitar Effects Pedal has presets for 16 body types and 28 models to restore the original sonic characteristics of acoustic guitars that pickups cannot capture. By selecting the body and model type that match your acoustic guitar, you can share its beautiful, rich tone with audiences when playing live.

My Comments : 

It has an amazing array of sounds that really does what it advertises. Only drawback is switching effects on the fly. Its easy to program, and sounds incredibly clean. Overall Im happy, but would like an easier switchability of effects during play with my foot.
