Positive Grid’s range of amp modelling products occupies a unique niche, available in software and hardware versions in everything from smartphone apps to full-on amplifier heads. The company knows it’s on a winner with its BIAS Head and BIAS Rack units, but with the new BIAS Mini Guitar, they’ve managed to pack all that processing power into a unit small enough that you could probably even figure out a way to mount it on a pedalboard if you’re clever. … Read the full article

Fiio – M7

The Chinese based Fiio never stops innovating and it’s one of the most active companies when it comes to product development, and most of all, upgrades. This time they’re back with the M7 DAP, a portable player that goes back basics.
