• Dave Smith Instruments Mopho - This killer desktop synth represents the most affordable way to tap into the analog magic of Dave Smith Instruments! (Note: Dave is the man who gave the world the original Sequential Circuits instruments.) The monophonic Mopho (MOnoPHOnic, get it?) measures a mere 7.5"x5", but it sounds a whole lot bigger than that! The 100% analog signal path consists of a pair of oscillators, a classic Curtis filter (switchable to either 2- or 4-pole), plus analog VCAs, three envelope generators, and two sub-octave generators, all of which come together to create a streamlined synth reminiscent of the classic Sequential Prophet line. There's even a full-featured sequencer. Looking for classic analog synth sound on a tight budget? If so, we suggest you check out the Mopho today!

  Guitar of the Day
Check out today's Guitar of the Day, the Gibson Reverse Flying V Limited Edition! In the 1950s, competing against the modernistic curves of the early Fender solidbodies, Gibson was perceived by some as the old, stodgy guitar builder. So company president Ted McCarty decided, "If they want radical, let's give them radical!" Gibson proceeded to take everything it knew about building great guitars and used that to create three wildly untraditional designs, one of which was the Flying V of 1958. Not surprisingly, early Flying Vs weren't really taken seriously, but after the discovery of just how good a pair of humbuckers could sound when played through an overdriven amp, both originals and reissues from the late '60s suddenly found favor with players. Now, 50 years later, Gibson has taken that design and literally turned it inside out. What's more, the company has decreed that only 300 of these guitars will ever be built!

Available in Natural, Classic White, and Ebony, the Reverse Flying V sports a solid mahogany body, a solid mahogany neck with a 1950s rounded profile, a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard with classic pearloid dot markers, and a 24-3/4" scale. Just like the original Flying V, this reverse version comes with a pair of hot humbucking pickups, a 3-way toggle switch, and a single master volume control. A Tune-o-matic bridge is standard, but just like the original, there's no stop tailpiece. Rather, there's a special string-through-body "V" tailpiece. The headstock is actually more like the one that first appeared on the '58 Explorer, forming a "V" shape of its own. Green Key machine heads complete the picture, and as befits a limited-edition instrument, all of the hardware is gold-plated. Plus, you're sure to find the recent $600 price drop very attractive! It includes a Custom Shop hardshell case and free FedEx shipping to your door!
