The world of music has changed and the world of guitar playing has changed along with it. It is becoming normal to not see the full guitar rigs of the '70s, '80s, and '90s, and instead just see guitar players with minimal systems to achieve their signature sounds. Introducing the Carl Martin Ampster ... from the company that has shone the single analog light down that deep digital tunnel. The Ampster, a single tube driven amp/speaker simulator that can either supplement your amp, or replace it. A fully analog unit with controls that are the same as your amplifier with the addition of a mute switch, a speaker selection switch and a voicing switch. What's more important, the Ampster reacts to your playing in the same way your full size amp does, giving you the same organic feel with zero latency! The Ampster is housed in a solid metal box with the standard EQ (Bass Middle Treble), pre and post volume/gain controls (Master & Gain) plus a Presence Control. There is a Mute Switch for obvious reasons and a Cabinet Switch with an LED Indicator light ( Red for a 2x12 Open Backed Cab, and Green for a 4x12 Closed Back Cab). On the back of the pedal you will find a Ground Lift and a Voicing Switch (a subtle low end cap controlled voicing adjustment). Input, Link (output to your amp or powered speaker) Balanced DI (XLR output to go to a mixing or recording console), a Send and Return for those specific effects that shouldn't be in front of the amp, a Remote Input for use with digital or analog effect controllers like the Carl Martin Octaswitch “The Strip,” and your standard 9v 1A power input. It couldn't be simpler! Plug your guitar straight in, or plug your pedal board into the input jack, choose your output and open your ears to a surprisingly big round clean sound, or by adjusting the Gain, that decidedly British Overdrive sound for which Carl Martin has become so well known. Our test players have fallen in love, telling us the Ampster reacts just like their standard amps, organic and responsive to your playing style or attack. In fact, the Ampster sounds just like a full size amp, but it fits on your pedalboard. Take a look at the videos ... we are certain you will want to take the Ampster for a test drive!

Music has powers to summon forth the best in mankind.
This was one of the maxims of the conductor Rafael Kubelik , whose Munich career is now being celebrated in this picture book. His performances were noted for their innate musicality, impressive vitality and rigorous yet highly emotional readings. Kubelik was a humanist and homo politicus who stood at the helm of the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra from 1961 to 1979 as its principal conductor and made regular guest appearances with the orchestra for six years thereafter. His era has gone down in the history of the orchestra. Now, in memory of the tenth anniversary of his death on 11 August [2006], this picture book recalls Kubelik's legendary years in Munich , where this Czech emigre found a second home.

Freedom was more than just a word for Kubelik :Only in a spirit of mutual respect, friendship, and love can we human beings live freely.

The new book, with its bibliophile appearance, opens with an essay by the former executive director of the Bavarian Broadcasting System, Albert Scharf . It also contains an interview with Martin Kubelik , the conductor's son, as well as writings by Rafael Kubelik and articles about him in German and English.

Rounding off the volume are an epilogue by Mariss Jansons , the orchestra's current principal conductor, and a brief biography of Rafael Kubelik .
