Sound Pure's Take

The Velvet Mite has arrived and is now available for sale!  We love the simple functionality and quality tone this 2x10 cab and 10 watt head produce!

Watching the growth of the Flickinger line is a pleasure!  Rich brought in the Velvet Mite amp for Sound Pure to demo before it was available for sale and we were amazed!  This 10 watt amp based on a modified (and hand-wired) princeton is truly an amazing amp with a price that can't be beat.

This custom shop amp is made-to-order and will seriously rock you socks off!  The matching 2x10 cabinet is a great touch.  In a world of 2x12 and 4x12 cabinets, this amazing alternative provides plenty of punch!  With your choice of speakers and a removeable center panel on the back of the cab, the tonal options are wide open!

Check out all of Flickinger Tone Box products right here- www.soundpure.com/search/flickinger .  We carry the whole line and would be happy to talk to you about what Flickinger products best suit your playing style and budget.

The Royer 101 Ribbon Microphone is a great, affordable ribbon mic for live as well as studio applications. Jason Richmond, SoundPure Studios Head Engineer, demonstrates how to how he records electric guitars using a ribbon mic like the Royer R-101 or the Royer 121 with a dynamic mic like the Heil PR40 or a standard Shure SM57. This technique works wonderfully for a variety of playing styles - rock, jazz, clean, distorted, you name it. Jason also discusses the benefits and drawbacks from using this technique.
