Yamaha has launched a personal amp for guitarists to experience high-quality sound and effects with more space-friendly dimensions.

I can't get over how awesome these Dr. No Effects pedal designs are. The retrotastic, hand-designed lettering and graphics were created by Boom Artwork, the graphic design, illustration and lettering studio of Netherlands-based Eric van den Boom.

I'm a sucker for an epic story. (Consult my bookcase if you have any doubts—it's chockablock with series by Tolkien, J.K. Rowling and George R.R. Martin.) That's probably why I'm so enamored by the newest Fleet Foxes music video for "The Shrine / An Argument", an eight-minute long journey through a surreal land filled with bizarre beasts.

Chris Trifilio, a gigging musician / product designer, who appreciates the needs of the travelling musician. Through his Kickstarter project, the Holey Board Deluxe, he hopes to raise enough funding to produce a run of his pedal board design. See more images and Chris's product video below.
