Gibson guitars are some of the finest ever built . Period . Their latest guitar is strapped with Gibson ’s most innovative digital speech sound engineering yet to serve you tear up like Hendrix — or whoever it is you need to sound like .
The Firebird X takes a classic Gibson guitar intent and load up with with an onboard effects torture , which reserve you to dial in your sound to everything from phase - out Eddie Van Halen shade to nu - metal crunch without ever stomping down on a pedal . The effects are controlled by two selectors on the guitar ’s organic structure and faders on the the guitar ’s top . Basically , you utilise the selectors to pick an force — like distorted shape or echo — and then you use the faders to dial them in to , say , “ 80 ’s optical aberration with a little extra bite . ” One selector switches between distortion , compression , and equalisation and the other between reverb , echo , and loopy - sounding intonation . The guitar also boast some legacy applied science like their automatic tuning system . Oh and get ’s not forget the three awesome sounding mini - humbuckers — parallel engineering science made Gibson famous in the first place .
The miracle is that Gibson was able to build all of that complicated functionality into a guitar system that actually looks really well-to-do to bring . Awesome , assuming the effect voice as good as this ax looks . Gibson say the Firebird X ’s parallel to digital conversion is the best in the industry , and they ’ve distinctly put a lot of view into making the guitar ’s sound endlessly tweakable . The multifariousness of sounds still ca n’t be everything to everyone , and with a limited button and a $ 5,570 cost tag — it wo n’t be . [ Gibson USA ]
