“Hands down the best sounding delay out there. It’s not only great on electric but absolutely incredible on amplified acoustic guitars as well. Worth every penny.” Continue Reading →

Holiday Hoedown and Little Latin Lupe Lu

Just a quick heads up that our good friends the Midday Ramblers (which includes our great repair shop manager, Mike Horan) will be playing the annual Holiday Hoedown tonight, Friday, Dec. 12, at Liberty Hall in Lawrence, along with the Wilders and Drakkar Sauna. Show starts at 7:30. Woo-hoo! If you need a little Christmas cheer or a just a little sonic tonic for your soul, you’d be hard pressed to do better than the Hoedown. Last year they did some of their own sets and also mixed it up with members of the other bands so it was quite a sweet ‘variety’ show.

The Big Cover Up

Okay, there’s no big cover up – not one that we’re uncovering anyway. However, at Mass Street Music, we just got in a nice heap of knit winter caps emblazoned with our fine logo. Here you can see luthiers Mike H. and Josh B. modeling them. Normally $14.95, but come into the store and mention you saw it on Massresonator.com and save $4 bucks, through this Thursday. Stay warm.
