Inside this issue: Sweetwater welcomes Peavey, Brian Moore's USB guitars, Podcasting 101 and much more... (7.4M PDF)

CORRECTION: On page three of the December 2005 SweetNotes, the "Plug and Play!" article incorrectly states that the Brian Moore iGuitar81USB and iGuitar91USB guitars include a 13-pin RMC system for connection to Roland synthesizers. That information applies to the iGuitar81.13USB, not the iGuitar81USB and iGuitar91USB. We apologize for any confusion this may have caused.
