It’s not often a boutique pedal manufacturer gives you the chance to win any of their pedals. The good people at Cannoy Guitars are doing just that with their latest pedal giveaway!
This giveaway requires a video, but the guidelines are loose. You don’t have to be the fastest shredder, just tell Cannoy why you deserve to win. And it’s not a voting contest, which is nice. The Cannoy staff will pick the winner. And said winner will have his or her choice of one of the following prizes: a “45ACP” overdrive pedal, a “Clockwork Compressor” pedal, a “Shaky Old Dog” tremolo pedal, a “Signal Pirate” delay pedal, or a “Pimp Slap” envelope filter pedal.
It’s been a while since I’ve posted a Bajno Hangout banjo giveaway. I deeply apologize to my readers in West Virgina.
Jokes aside, this is a heck of a banjo! The Bishline Cimarron 5-string banjo is built in the US of A, and features a walnut neck with fancy burl walnut resonator, ivoroid binding, and an ebony fingerboard with original MOP inlay. The Bishline Cimarron usually sells for $1,195.
Japanese electronics maker One Control is currently hosting two giveaways on their Facebook page. First, everyone who likes their page is entered to win a Micro-Distro pedal power distributor. They will announce a winner once the page hits 1,000 likes.
The other giveaway requires a bit more work. Explain how you would use any One Control switcher in a YouTube video and the owner of the best video gets to chose any current One Control product as a prize.
Last year, GearPipe partnered with Michael Outlaw of Outlaw Drums on a snare drum giveaway. I was blown away by Michael’s passion (and his story…the dude builds drums from wood reclaimed from 19th century barns and houses), and when I received an Outlaw snare drum of my own, I couldn’t believe the quality.
Since then, Michael and I have continued talking, and recently came to an exciting agreement. Michael’s passions are finding amazing wood and building beautiful drums. I love talking to people (online and off) about musical instruments. So, I’m happy to announce that GearPipe is now the exclusive dealer of Outlaw Drums. And I (through my marketing agency, Drive Channel Creative) will be in charge of marketing for the brand.
I’ve heard a lot of Soundgarden talk lately, and the band has a new song on The Avengers soundtrack. Chris Cornell is a helluva solo artist, too. His new solo album, Songbook, has gotten rave reviews.
And now Chris has teamed up with Amazon for a killer guitar giveaway. Enter to win a Fender Classic Player Baja Telecaster, signed by Chris himself. 20 second prize winners each will receive one copy of Songbook, signed by Chris.
While the California band Nude is busy pushing their new album, Fearless Generation, they never forget that without the inspiration of someone when they were young, they never would have dedicated their lives to what they love, making music.
That’s why members of the three man band (Tony Karlsson, Bobby Amaro, and Dave Mattera) volunteer at Washington Middle School, along with community centers and other schools in La Habra, California, teaching students to play music.
I’m told people like bundles. If this is, in fact, true, I’ve got a good one for you.
I took pretty much everything we sell in the GearPipe Shop (all three items) and threw them together in a box (actually, placed them nicely in a poster tube), and cut the price a bit.
Every good drummer knows the kick drum pedal is an extension of their body. If you want to keep a steady beat, let alone play fast, a good pedal is a must.
From The Definitive Recording Guide, you have a chance to win a brand new Sonor “Perfect Balance” Jojo Mayer Signature Model bass drum pedal. What this pedal lacks in flash, it makes up for in pure smoothness!
I know there’s been a lot of talk lately about Eddie Van Halen being a big fat lair, but it’s tough to argue with his tone!
From EVH Gear enter to win an EVH 5150III 100-watt amp head autographed by Eddie. It’s three massive-sounding channels of pure EVH tone and power—in ivory, with four-button footswitch included—and personalized by the man himself.
