This week, JHS Pedals managed to turn a colossal blunder into an $89 fan-favourite boost, Positive Grid decided that amplifiers were just a bit too simple so they gave them AI brains you can text into existence, and Epiphone put out a surprisingly affordable acoustic that might just sway you to play authentic. Plus, my Pick of the Week brings the heat with the highly anticipated Eventide H9 Gen 2!

Let me know what your Pick of the Week is in the comments down below. (And seriously, what are your thoughts on Positive Grid putting AI into their amps? Is it the future or just a gimmick?)

Sponsored by Vola Guitars - Boutique builds with serious tone. Welcome back to The Week in Gear, where the guitars are gorgeous, the prices are sometimes questionable , and the FOMO is absolutely industrial strength.

Then the JHS Kilt 10 arrives in its tartan trousers, based on the old X-Pandora but refined, more controllable, and capable of everything from clean boost to full gated fuzz chaos thanks to those G1 and G2 toggles. From there we head into full modelling madness with the Fractal AM4 – over 240 amp models, around 45 DynaCabs, over 300 effects, USB-C audio, SPDIF, dual expression inputs and an FX loop, all in a pedal-sized box that undercuts a lot of the current competition in price. It is currently only shipping to the US and Canada, which of course makes the rest of us want it even more. On the more theatrical side, Gibson and Epiphone Bats in Flight bring mother-of-pearl and pearloid bats to Les Pauls, Flying Vs and a very purple acoustic, all in Guitar Center exclusive finishes. The Gibsons are hilariously expensive, the Epiphone version is far more realistic and still looks ridiculous in the best possible way. Finally, my Pick of the Week is the Harley Benton King-12 CE-NT, a jumbo 12-string with a solid spruce top, maple back and sides and a Fishman preamp for around 300 notes. Basically an SJ-200-style 12-string for half what you would expect and with better specs than some of the big names.
