Great starter ukulele for anyone. Take it to a lesson, take it to the beach, take it anywhere you want to go. Comes with color-matched gigbag.
The world's smallest guitar amp. The original Smokey amp was made to fit inside a cigarette pack. This polycarbonate amp has the same hardware as an original Smokey but in a hard plastic case instead. It will power any 4, 8 or 16 Ohm speaker cabinet and can also be used as a fuzzbox.
The classic DS-1 Distortion pedal provides a harder distortion effect for guitar and keyboard sounds. Instead of toneless, fuzzy distortion, the DS-1 faithfully reproduces all the subtle nuances of playing dynamics--at any volume.
Bongo madness! Two-tone wooden bongos suitable for any percussionist.
The 1 SPOT is the original 9V DC adapter that only takes up one spot on your power strip. With the ability to handle up to 1700mA, the 1 SPOT can power your entire pedalboard. With the new 8-plug cable included in this Combo Pack, you can power up to 8 pedals. And by linking additional Multi-Plug cables, you can power a virtually unlimited number of pedals!
Portable jamming has just become easier! The iRig features world class guitar and base tone - all from your iPod or iPhone! Simply plug the iRig into your iPod or iPhone, and plug your guitar or bass into the iRig. It’s an instant rehearsal space that fits in your pocket. You’ll have at your fingertips the sound and control of up to 4 re-combinable simultaneous effects and cabinet/microphone combinations, just like a traditional bass or guitar rig. Additional effects are available for purchase from the iTunes store to expand your sound.

Extremely light and portable, this amp is the perfect size for practicing at home or rehearsing with your band.
