Via news from harmony-central [url] it seems Jeorge Tripps is working with Dunlop to produce a new series of “Way Huge” effects pedals. For those of you new to the effects and guitar area I encourage you to check out the history of Way Huge effects and Jeorge Tripps. Below are some images and sound clips of the new effects.

The new lineup includes:

• Pork Loin Soft Clip Injection Overdrive
• Swollen Pickle MKII Jumbo Fuzz
• Fat Sandwich Harmonic Saturator Distortion

Have you ever jumped on a guitar cable and totally ruined a guitar input jack or amplifier input jack?  This looks like a perfect product for those of you that have or think you might have that problem.

From Belkin’s press release:

Belkin International, Inc., announces new BreakFree Connectors, which detach under extreme tension, protecting your amplifier or guitar from unexpected damage. BreakFree will provide noise-free dynamic sound without any degradation in audio quality.

Belkin’s BreakFree Connectors are designed to eliminate the popping that occurs when cables are accidentally unplugged from a live amplifier. Additionally, for musicians with multiple guitars, the product makes guitar swapping seamless without the hassle of shutting down or putting your amplifier on standby.
