Fishman

The latest addition to Fishman's Aura family of technology is the Fishman Aura Spectrum DI. This DI is worth a look from any acoustic musician, or anyone who thinks their personal aura needs some fine tuning.  

I never thought I'd live to see the day when the warlike Gators and the scheming Fishmen would sit at a table and break bread together. And who'd have predicted they'd conspire to make durable cover and carry cases for the Fishman Loudbox acoustic amplifiers? Such dexterous claws and fins they have!  

Amidst a cornucopia of classic instruments needing electrification for cacophonous purposes, Juan Dies shows us the Fishman SBT-C. It's a pickup he's put on some of his acoustic folk instruments that weren't exactly built to be plugged in.  

Used to be, you couldn't get a Fishman Aura or Aura Pro preamp without having to buy a guitar that was preloaded with one, but that's like buying a cow when all you want is the milk. Now Fishman is offering their coveted Aura preamps with no guitar or strings attached.  

When picking out a Les Paul style guitar, remember not to let yourself get distracted by the name that adorns the headstock, says Tom and JT of Modern Music in Fort Lauderdale, FL. Take the First Act SFA Lola CE140, for example: if it's good enough for Slash to play in a VW commercial, it's good enough for you.  

Jesse Greist shows us the tool he uses to electrify his Seagull -- a Fishman Rare Earth Single Coil Magnetic Pickup. It follows the credo that the less there is, the less there is that can go wrong.  

Owen O'Malley attempts to pitch another one of Fishman's extraordinary AFX series acoustic effects pedals, the AFX Reverb. Unfortunately, he balks, allowing all runners to advance a base. You better work on that quick move to first, O'Malley, or we're sending you back to the minors!  

Owen O'Malley continues his examination of the Fishman pedals -- genus acousifecticous -- with a public dissection of the species steryodelae. It's sure to be a packed event, so arrive at the observation booth early and take care to avoid the anti-Fishman-violence protesters.  

As the legend goes, Fishman effects are created by the fish that sprouted legs and walked out of the water because of evolution. Not much is known about this "fish-man" aside from his prowess for creating beautiful acoustic guitar effects like this AFX Chorus.  

There are now two bands we know of using the erhu in their music--Cthonic and Hsu-Nami. Are more to follow? Is this the dawning of the age of the erhu?  

Just in time for the summer concert season, renowned acoustic pickup designers Fishman introduce two new lines to their catalog, the Concert Series, available for violin, viola and cello, and the Nashville Series, for mandolin and resophonic guitar.  

With an aim balanced on convenience and sound quality, Fishman releases the SoloAmp. It's a compact line array that packs light, making it perfect for the solo acoustic act  

Dobro fans and players have a reason to be delighted as the Fishman Jerry Douglas Aura Imaging pedal is set to officially debut at Summer NAMM 2008. The pedal, created in conjunction with dobro master Jerry Douglas, brings Aura Imaging specifically to resophonic guitars.  

Acoustic guitars and electronic technology join in hand and song with the Fishman Aura Acoustic Imaging pedal. Tim Joyce and Tony Polecastro show us why it's so great at Old Town School of Folk Music.
