Hotone's all-new Soul Press 3-in-1 Volume/Expression/Wah-Wah pedal offers the convenience of each of these pedals in a single design. Inspired by the legendary CryBaby wah pedal, the Soul Press produces premium wah-wah effects. In addition, guitar volume and expression pedal modes are available with the flip of a switch. The easy-to-use design of the Soul Press features a metal footswitch and analog-style parameter knobs. Featuring multiple LEDs (Effects, Bypass/Off) and a strong casing, this pedal looks great and is built to last. The pedal offers true bypass circuitry for the highest quality sound when passing through un-effected signals. Soul Press enables players to craft the lightest, most compact pedalboard imaginable in combination with Hotone's Skyline Series Stompboxes. The 3-in-1 design of the Soul Press also makes for a great addition to an existing pedalboard where more effects are desired, but space and weight are at a premium. With great sound and maximum portability, Hotone's Soul Press Volume/Expression/Wah-Wah pedal is an optimal solution for guitarists that want excellent guitar tone for jam sessions, home office settings, bedroom setups and more. Features: 鈥� True bypass 鈥� Extreme compact size 鈥� LED lights 鈥� 3-in-1 pedal (Volume/Expression/Wah) 鈥� Sound based on the original CryBaby wah pedal 鈥� Adjustable control range (bottom value) 鈥� Active volume mode for keeping lossless tone 鈥� 9V DC or 9V battery power supply.

Posse鈥檚 compositions for harp are rich and varied, and range from the easy pieces dedicated to his students to the virtuoso concert pieces; we must also remember his didactic works, in particular the 鈥楽ix Small Studies鈥� and the universally known 鈥楨ight Great Concert Studies鈥�.
It is not easy to draw a balance of his legacy in the harp world. On one hand his technical vision of virtuosity combined with a great stability of the hand and rigor of the fingerings certainly contributed to the development of the 20th Century harp technique; on the other hand, his use of the pedals, often driven by two together with the same foot (a very old French technique), has gradually become more and more difficult on modern harps. From the point of view of his contribution to the harp repertoire, the constant run-up to the piano has heavily influenced his compositional production, making him often completely miss the idiomatic effects of 19th Century harp music (except for the use of harmonic sounds), which were so loved by his friend Liszt in the compositions of Parish Alvars.

Designed for both acoustic and electric instruments, the Hotone Omni AC is a compact, acoustic simulator pedal that delivers realistic acoustic instrument emulations. These exceptionally authentic sounds are the result of new Black-Tek acoustic simulation technology, which is built on Hotone's CDCM (Comprehensive Dynamic Circuit Modeling) architecture. The Omni AC offers 15 high-quality acoustic simulations, including steel and nylon string guitars, mandolin, acoustic fretless acoustic bass, and classic double basses. A detailed 4-band semi-parametric EQ is included to further tailor the sound. An internal voltage boost circuit provides tons of headroom ensuring the input signal will stay clean, regardless of the instrument's output level. A high-contrast OLED screen makes editing and recalling setting easy in high and low light environments. Omni AC has 15 editable presets which can be adjusted on the pedal or managed via free Mac/PC software. The footswitch can be assigned to bypass the effect or mute the signal. A 1/4鈥� thru jack provides an unprocessed dry signal to other devices or amplifiers. The pedal includes a 1/4鈥� output, a balanced XLR out to connect to mixers or audio interfaces, an 1/8鈥� headphone monitor and an 1/8鈥� stereo aux input making the Omni AC perfect for both live and recording setups. Features include: 鈥� Compact, easy-to-use acoustic simulator pedal 鈥� Advanced DSP-powered platform ensures high sound quality 鈥� 24-bit AD/DA conversion, great dynamic response 鈥� Internal voltage boost circuit for exceptional headroom 鈥� 15 high-quality acoustic simulations via Hotone's new Black-Tek modeling 鈥� Detailed 4-band semi-parametric EQ with 12dB maximum boost and cut 鈥� Micro USB jack for updating firmware and loading/managing presets via free Mac/PC software 鈥� 1/4鈥� input and thruput 鈥� XLR and 1/4鈥� outputs 鈥� Ground/Lift switch 鈥� 1/8鈥� stereo Aux In for line level devices (unaffected by Omni AC) 鈥� 1/8鈥� headphone output for practicing and jamming 鈥� 15 presets 鈥� High-contrast OLED screen 鈥� Assignable footswitch with LED 鈥� 9V DC (center positive) power supply and USB micro cable included.
