Some exciting stuff coming from the team over at Anderson Guitarworks, one of which being the new arm of their T-family, the Short-T! Given its' name for the shorter (24 3/4 inch) scale length, these guitars employ the same sharpness in design presented with previous Anderson "T"-Guitars, so despite it's smaller scale length, you still get the same "T" quality but with some interesting new capabilities. Some of the benefits in the shorter scale are a more mid-focused tone range that still has all the best parts of T-model that you have come to love, as well as a bit more ability to manipulate overdrive should you desire it, with some really nice saturation. Some more obvious advantages of this guitar, is its' incredible lighter form and feel, the ability to move around and reach frets easier, as well as some less obvious components such as opportunities to increase the string gauge should you choose to do so, which will do wonders for your tone. With some super warm TF series pickups, the Short T from Anderson has some extraordinarily full, and clear tones, but still has the ability to really pack a punch with the right amp. For any questions on this awesome electric guitar from Anderson or on any of the gear used in this video, call SoundPure today to speak to one of our many experts 919-682-5552!

Description:

The MC77 is a standard 19″ two space rack-mountable limiter. The MC77 recreates the audio circuitry of the revision E 1176, using modern components matched to the original.

One significant component is the input attenuator. The input attenuator that was custom made for the original revisions A-F 1176 and for the Purple MC76 by Clarostat was discontinued in 2002. It was a J series T-pad attenuator with two 600 OHM “build out” resistors to keep a constant 600 OHM load on the source and primary of the input transformer. Clarostat changed carbon manufacturers and the new carbon manufacturer was unable to make the part. Purple temporarily stopped making the MC76 to find a solution. We tried several three deck Clarostat 70 series pots in different configurations to achieve the same loading and to match the taper. We found a solution that matched the original. Based on that feedback, from hundreds of satisfied MC76 users we incorporated useful new features into the new MC77.
