Fluid Audio has announced the Strum Buddy electric guitar monitor/amplifier.
Featuring 6W of power and a 40mm speaker driver, the Strum Buddy amplifies your electric guitar to the perfect level for practicing on your couch, in a classroom, hotel room or anywhere. With it’s rechargeable battery, there is no need to be tethered to an AC powered amplifier – it is effectively “cordless” with 3.5 hours of play time.
Using internal DSP processing, it is EQ’d to sound just like your real amp. It also has 4 effect settings that can be used independently or together – Clean, Crunch/Distortion, Chorus and Reverb. The really innovative aspect of the Strum Buddy, enough for patent protection, is that it is encased in a rubber housing with integrated suction cup. This allows you to safely stick it to any guitar body and take it wherever you want to play.
Features:
• Compact, portable guitar monitor/amplifier with effects
• 6W of power
• 40mm speaker driver
• DSP tuned to sound like your guitar amplifier
• Integrated suction cup for guitar body mounting
• 4 effects to choose from: Clean, Crunch, Chorus and Reverb
• Guitar and charging cable included
The Strum Buddy will be available July ’17 with the following street price: $79.99 USD/€79.99
