Made for the rigors of touring, SKB’s new line of cases are lightweight, watertight and flyable with no overage fees. It’s easy to see why artists who perfomr with Taylor Swift and Trace Adkins use SKB.

Marshall debuted their new Offset line of amplifiers. This 1 watt head and cab combination takes inspiration from one of the original Marshall amplifiers – the JTM45 – and employs simple loudness and tone controls that embody everything from Vintage Marshall cleans to inimitable British Crunch.
