Got a Neural DSP Quad Cortex, a Fender Tone Master Pro, an IK Multimedia ToneX, a Line 6 Helix, or an Fractal Audio FM9 and you need a good way to hear yourself at rehearsal, for practice, or on-stage? We've got you covered with a selection of FR-FR Cabinets.

FR-FR is short for Full Range, Flat Response, meaning this powered cabinet won't color the amp and cabinet profiles your modeler is doing, similar to a great powered monitor or PA cabinet.

Stop by the store to check them out in person, or at GuitarSanctuary.com

We've been anxiously awaiting the arrival of the all new Oso guitars from our friends at Suhr Custom - Guitars | Amplifiers | Pedals | Pickups since they were announced to dealers just before the NAMM show.

Inspired by the simple, raw character of some of John’s first guitars, he designed the Oso to blend old-school charm with modern precision.

The 4 different versions incorporate different woods, bridge, and pickup combinations, giving each a slightly different voice.

Stop by the store to check one out in person, or at GuitarSanctuary.com

Happy Handwired Day!

In the search for the essence of the classic vintage AC30 amp sound that compels so many of your favorite players, the team at VOX Amplification USA conducted a detailed analysis and study on mint condition AC15 and AC30s from the 1960s to truly uncover and understand the inner workings of these legendary amplifiers.

The culmination of these efforts has resulted in the emergence of the new VOX AC Hand-Wired Range of amplifiers.

We've got both the AC15 & AC30 IN STOCK, so stop by the store to check one out in person, or at GuitarSanctuary.com

Join the discussion live at 2pm Central.
