SHURE SM 58 £95
DYNAMIC CARDIOID VOCAL MICROPHONE
The Shure SM58 is one of the world's most popular vocal mics, found on stages and in studios aross the globe. Tuned to accentuate the warmth and clarity of lead and back-up vocals, it's consistently the first choice of live performers. It's also an effective tool in the studio, and the recording mic of choice for some vocalists who prefer the intimacy of a hand-held mic and value the familiar, distinctive sound of a 58.
The SM58 is a cardioid dynamic vocal microphone designed for live performance, sound reinforcement, and studio recording. A highly effective, built-in, spherical filter minimizes wind and breath "pop" noise. The unidirectional, cardioid pickup pattern isolates the main sound source while minimizing unwanted background noise. Rugged construction, a proven shock mount system, and a steel mesh grille ensure that even with rough handling, the SM58 will perform consistently. Outdoors or indoors, singing, speech - the SM58 is the overwhelming choice of recording professionals, vocalists and project studios alike. Includes clip and bag.

NEW BOSS ME 70
Boss ME-70 Guitar Multi Effects Processor
Released at the Winter NAMM show 2009 the Boss ME70 Multi-Guitar FX unit takes over from the Boss ME-50 and has a few extra tricks up its sleeve ... Whilst the ME70 contains plenty of COSM amp models perhaps its best addition is the COSM Pre-Amp section which is technology that was only previously available within the Boss GT-10 and Legend series.
The ME-70 has simpllified rotary control knobs that provide ease of adjustment and patch editing reminiscent of classic stompbox pedals, the EZ Tone feature in particular will be a great aid to many players as it provides on-screen help menus for sound and parameter editing. When the user wishes to activate an effect it's merely a case of stomping on one of the 4 footswitches on the pedal board ...
Two other exciting features on the ME70 are the 38 second phrase looper with which the user can loop audio phrases and build up complex musical pieces, and secondly there's also an expression pedal that can be assigned to one of 6 parameters such as Wah, modulation and delay rate. Analogue to Digital conversion rates are 24-bit whilst the sampling frequency is CD quality at 44.1 khz, there are 36 pre-set patches and 36 user patches.
The Boss ME 70 runs on 6 x LR Alkaline batteries giving an average usage time of around 12 hours although this can vary depending on conditions. There's also an option to add a mains power supply along with various other supplemental foot switches ....
