Vibesware Releases New Junior Resonator

Posted 18 Sep 2013 in Effects, Gear News

Depending on your upbringing and musical tastes, the term guitar resonator can take on one of two meanings. Traditionally, a resonator has been defined as an acoustic instrument that creates its sounds by vibrating a piece of metal (the resonator) that vibrates the wood. Think of a dobro. Recently, however, resonators have taken on a whole new meaning: companies like Vibesware have discovered ways to engage the electromagnetic field surrounding the strings of an electric guitar, and can excite that field to produce controllable feedback.

If that all sounds a bit too technical for you, basically Vibesware’s devices allow you to create unique tones and sustains in much the same way that walking up to an amp at full volume creates feedback. However, the resonators are a lot easier to control and far less piercing than simply walking up to an amp. Furthermore, unlike other resonators on the market, Vibesware’s new product can be set up on a stand, leaving both hands free to play like normal. There is also need to modify a guitar to get this product to work, which is not the case with many of the other resonators out there.

 

Vibesware is pleased to announce the release of the new GR-Junior II, which is priced to be more accessible to the general market at around $200.

    Please could you correct:

    “There is also NO! need to modify a guitar to get this product to work, which is not the case with many of the other resonators out there.”
    Please could you add a “no” before “need”

    Thanks a lot
    & Best Regards
