T-Rex Engineering Upgrades Room-Mate Tube Reverb Pedal
May 7 th, 2010 – T-Rex Engineering, the Danish guitar effects pedal manufacturer, presents the next generation of their successful Room-Mate Reverb Pedal. The “new & improved” Room-Mate offers the same rich, tubey warmth as the first Room-Mate, but features enhancements based largely on user feedback.
The new Room-Mate offers the same phenomenal-sounding Room, Hall and LFO modes that its long-time fans have come to know. However, T-Rex has added a completely revamped Spring mode. When the decay is set low in Spring mode, Room-Mate emulates a short-spring reverb. Turn the decay up, and you get a killer long-spring reverb that you just won’t hear anywhere else. Other upgrades T-Rex has added a decay knob, which allows the user to adjust the length of the reverb trail in all four modes. A new hi-cut knob cuts the high notes on the tail of the reverb, giving the tail a smooth sound for a great vintage vibe. Finally, a gain knob makes it possible to use the Room-Mate in an effects loop without overloading the pedal’s input stage. T-Rex is scheduled to begin shipping the Room-Mate in June 2010. Visit www.t-rex-effects.com for more on T-Rex. T-Rex pedals are distributed in the USA by Musiquip Inc.

Hiscox Cases Appoints SF Marketing as Canadian Distributor Montreal, QC, June 7 2010 – Montreal-based SF Marketing is thrilled to have been appointed the new exclusive Canadian distributor for Hiscox Cases.
Established in 1985, Hiscox Cases Ltd. is the brainchild of Brynn Hiscox. A professional guitar maker, Brynn's customers demanded cases that offered unsurpassed protection but weighed less than other high-end cases available. He drew on an engineering background to design a lightweight case that stood up to his own – and his customers’ – most exacting requirements. Hiscox Cases, which are today sold in over 20 countries worldwide, are constructed of a leather textured high impact ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadeine Styrene) hard plastic outer shell, bonded directly to an inner moulding made from a unique blend of high tech cellular foam. This semi-rigid inner moulding is soft enough to cushion the most delicate of instruments, yet firm enough to provide an overall structural rigidity unmatched by any other case in the Hiscox’s price range. The brand offers cases for a wide variety of instruments, including numerous acoustic and electric guitar models, as well as alto and tenor saxophone, tenor horn, baritone, euphonium, violin, viola, and cello. “Musicians face a unique set of challenges when it comes to travelling. Durable, lightweight, dependable protection for your instrument is essential. Hiscox cases are recognized worldwide for providing the perfect solution for almost any instrument.” says Erik Lind, Product Manager at SF Marketing. “Hiscox is an excellent fit for the SF Marketing family along side our other premium brands, and we’re very much looking forward to developing this line in Canada.” Visit Hiscox Cases online at: www.hiscoxcases.com.
