Broadjam Newsletter - Sept. 2, 2009


Broadjam News

We have a great new opportunity with an amazing talent. Proving herself this year as one of the most promising vocalists in the country, American Idol finalist Casey Carlson now has her sights set on recording her first album. This highly anticipated work, supported by the hundreds of thousands of fans that watched her on Idol, is filling up fast with songs, but isn't complete.

Casey Carlson needs your Country/Pop song! She has turned to Broadjam to find songs to record for the last two tracks on the album. Specifically, Casey is looking for songs reminiscent of a Taylor Swift or Colbie Caillat sound. Submit your songs to this opportunity.


Have you checked out the newest Giveaway Blog? Win an IK Multimedia StealthPedal! The StealthPedal is both an Audio Interface and software Controller in a compact, wah-style pedal. It’s built tough enough to use live on a regular basis, but it can also play an integral part in recording by controlling the included “Powered by Amplitube” software or any other amp and FX modeling software with MIDI control capabilities. Put your name in the hat by adding a comment.


Artist Spotlight

Stephanie Rearick is a solo artist and also fronts the group The There Was a Mans. As a solo artist, Rearick has issued four full-length releases. Her work tends towards dark piano-based music melding the genres of classical, cabaret, and pop. In addition to piano, Rearick sings, plays trumpet, and uses a Boss Loopstation. Keyboard Magazine recently described her as "Amanda Palmer gone psychedelic and retro – one of the rawest, most original aesthetics we've heard in awhile."

Section3 Title

VOX amplification has joined forces with legendary amp designer Tony Bruno to deliver the NT15H "Night Train," a 15-Watt, all-tube guitar amplifier head that offers both classic and new VOX tones in a visually striking, compact design. This all-tube head weighs less than 17 pounds and boasts an "armored box" design for stunning all-tube tone on the go.

A pair of EL84 tubes deliver 15 watts of power, as two 12AX7 tubes drive the harmonically rich preamp stage to deliver chime-like cleans to warm overdrives. Users can toggle between Pentode or Triode tube operation. In Pentode mode, Night Train delivers a full 15 Watts. In Triode mode, the power is cut to 7.5 Watts. The Triode mode also relaxes the tube power stage, providing a smoother, mellower tube character.

Night Train boasts a mirrored chrome finish and signature VOX diamond design that offers ventilation while providing a view of the all-tube circuit within. The front panel offers clear and simple chicken head pointer knobs for Gain, Volume, Treble, Middle and Bass. The preamp section features a mode switch for Bright and Thick options. The Bright mode produces an articulate tone that ranges from clean to crunch; the Thick setting bypasses the tone circuit to boost the gain for a chunkier, heavier sound suited to higher gain applications.

To complement the Night Train, both cosmetically and tonally, a specially voiced 1 x 12″ speaker cabinet (V112NT) is available, featuring a Custom VOX Celestion Greenback speaker.
