Judas Priest guitarist Glenn Tipton has recently made available an album he made with two rock legends whom are no longer with us. John Entwistle (The Who) and drum god Cozy Powell. The album is titled Tipton, Entwistle & Powell/ Edge Of The World which Glenn used assorted DigiTech® processors and effects for all his guitar tones. Glenn has also re-released his solo record "Baptism Of Fire" which was recorded at the same period of time. All proceeds from Edge Of The World sales are being donated to the Teenage Cancer Trust Charity. Glenn and the rest of Judas Priest are currently writing for the follow up to Angel Of Retribution.

Chicago rockers SOiL have completed their latest album "True Self" with a release date of May 2nd. The band is currently over in Europe with Staind and will be hitting dates in the US in April. Bassist Tim King used his favorite, the Bass Driver™ along with other X-Series™ pedals for the recording. Guitarists Shaun Glass and Adam Zadel used many X-Series™ pedals including the DigiDelay®. Also prominently displayed on several tracks is the Whammy4™.

Jazz guitarist Vinny Valentino has tapped DigiTech® for signal processing via the new GNX3000. Vinny had this to say: "It's smoking. It has great sounds right out of the box but the fact that there are many ways to manipulate it makes it really useful on all kinds of gigs. A lot of times when I'm on the road the rigs are so different sounding. Even two amps that are identical can sound completely different. With this I'm able to tweak not only the room but the overall sound. I always thought it would be nice to design my own guitar workstation specifically for my sounds and rigs but with the GNX3000 I don't have to."� Up in coming jazz artist Dan Peterson has also been looking to DigiTech® for help creating tones. Dan is currently using the Bad Monkey™ and the Jimi Hendrix Experience™ pedals bypassing amps and going direct to the board.
