You’ve never seen slide guitar like this. Grammy Award-winning producer, engineer, and guitarist extraordinaire  Larry Mitchell gives us a funk-filled demonstration of Samson’s Hotone Skyline effects pedals that includes his highly unorthodox approach to slide playing.

Hotone Skyline Effects Pedals

Samson’s Derek Ash shows us their high-quality, small footprint Hotone Skyline effects pedals – including the EKO delay pedal, VERB reverb pedal, KOMP compression pedal, LIFTUP boost pedal, WALLY looper, and an array of rich overdrive and distortion pedals that cover the tonal range from BLUES to high-gain metal tones with the WHIP.

Synth 7 UHF Wireless System

Samson’s new Synth 7 UHG Wireless System is available in handheld, headset, lavalier and guitar configurations. It features a rugged all-metal, rack mountable design and uses professional quality components for seamless operation. These components, combined with Samson’s state-of-the-art engineering, equip the Synth 7 with an excellent signal-to-noise ratio, a wireless range of up to 300 feet, as well as an increased dynamic range to handle the hottest inputs from line level devices.
