Top Picks

PolyTune Mini @ $89.99

Sometimes size actually does matter and in these cases, PolyTune Mini is the perfect solution as no other pedal tuner in the world will take up so little space - which means more room for other pedals! PolyTune Mini is based on the exact same technology as the original PolyTune, so like its bigger brother it shows the tuning state of all strings simultaneously by simply strumming the guitar, enabling guitarists to get back to playing in a matter of seconds. Just like the original PolyTune, PolyTune Mini is among the most precise tuners in the world, tuning with +/- 0.5 per cent precision in chromatic mode and +/- 1 per cent accuracy in polyphonic mode. Also, it automatically switches between chromatic and polyphonic modes depending on whether all strings are strummed at once or each string is picked individually. Finally, PolyTune Mini features Drop-D and Capo modes as well as True Bypass for zero tone coloration and a super-bright LED display with the same amount of LEDs as the original PolyTune.

 

FIIO E11 Portable Headphone Amplifier @ $59.99

It instantly gives your portable device’s sound tons more energy and oomph like you wouldn’t think possible from simply adding a portable amplifier. You might think your player sounds great as it is but once you hook it up to the Mont Blanc, you will hear so much more detail and information in each song that you probably never noticed before. And best of all, the Mont Blanc does this with almost little effort from you. Seeing as how this is such a powerful portable amp, you can also plug larger, more demanding, professional quality headphones from 16 ohms all the way up to 300 ohms. The added crispness and energy makes the same old song come alive with plenty of energy – leaps and bounds beyond what the tiny amp in your phone or iPod can do!
