In the past few weeks, the world at large has been turned upside down. The impact of the recent coronavirus pandemic on musicians has been enormous – wherever you are in the world, it’s likely you’re staying home in order to slow the spread of the virus.
除了明显取消的演出外，这给吉他手带来了一些新的挑战。当您的钻机被曲柄至11时，您的钻机很有可能听起来最好，这在家里玩时可能不是一个选择。您可能也无法与乐队成员一起玩 - 使Loopers和记录更重要的能力。在这里，我们查看锁定期间要抓取的一些最佳装备。
Boss Waza Air Headphones
这se innovative headphones fromBoss是，不是真正的耳机。更将它们视为吉他等同于虚拟现实耳机。它们使您可以通过通过智能手机控制的虚拟放大器进行播放，并具有50多个效果。有五种AMP模型可用，所有模型均来自广受欢迎的Katana系列。
有趣的地方是头部跟踪方面，它使您可以为吉他建立虚拟位置，如果您愿意，它可以在移动头时留在原地。这结合了能够将背景曲目和音乐流向Waza Airs的能力，这意味着您可以构建一个对动作做出响应的整个虚拟音阶。
Essentially, you’ll be able to practice the way you would with a cranked amp and a band – but with fewer calls from angry neighbours.

Digitech Trio+乐队创建者/Looper
这个创新的踏板Digitech, unlike your friends or coworkers, listens to your playing. It then picks apart your chord progression and rhythm to create a dynamic backing track with a virtual drummer and bassist.

Harmony 8418放大器
吉他手喜欢两件事，这已经不是什么秘密了：老式装备和管音。这和谐8418将两个重新发行结合到一个很小的复古包装中，由于其尺寸较小，因此在摇动时不会从天花板上弹出光线配件。它是真正的6英寸扬声器由五瓦驱动的驱动，并且它的表达同样真实，其净空比您从如此小的放大器中所期望的要多。

TC电子Ditto Looper
This simple little box fromTC电子boils down the loop pedal idea to its bare essentials – one knob, and one footswitch. Tap to start recording, tap again to stop and immediately play that loop, once more to overdub, hold to undo the last overdub, double tap to stop the loop and double tap then hold to clear.
尽管外观简单，但它是一件多才多艺的事情 - 您可以练习蓝调在12杆进度上独奏，或者逐层建立延迟浸泡的氛围。

StrymonIridium
这Iridium isStrymon回答沸腾的趋势以直接导致踏板放大器。幸运的是，这种趋势非常适合现在陷入其中的人。它提供了三种驾驶室SIM的口味，以及三个放大器：孔，打孔和圆形。这些都提供了一种不同的放大方法，从老式的jangle到全面的收益。“房间”旋钮在声音中增加了一些通风的空间，再加上撞到界面或耳机的能力，这是一个很好的奖励，尤其是当您遇到目前有不同的空间时。

DIY绒毛踏板
许多吉他手，尤其是那些换了拾音器或插孔故障的人，至少有一些焊接铁的经验。但是，如果您不这样做，有什么比现在更好的时间呢？有许多DIY绒毛选项，这是英国品牌的特殊选项fuzzdog。It makes a number of circuit boards, some completely original, some DIY versions of classics. Something like the above is fairly simple, and there’s nothing quite like plugging in a fuzz pedal you yourself have built, only to have it work (and sound great) on the first try.

Supro Blues King 8
Like the Harmony, Supro’s Blues King 8 provides true tube tone, at minimal volume. Rated at a tiny one watts, it’s clearly designed for home use, but unlike truly vintage combo amps, it has a few modern quality-of-life features – namely a master volume and a buffered line level output. Supro also says that it offers a full, roaring sound when mic’d up – great if you want to do some home recording without having to run direct.

橙色恐怖邮票
This was one of the highlights of our trip (remember trips?) to winter NAMM this year – the size of an overdrive pedal, this is essentially anOrange微小的恐怖更加缩水。虽然它有一个驾驶室模拟的耳机，用于全小时摇摆，但也可以连接到任何8或16欧姆机柜。因此，在适当的时候，它会很快变得非常粗鲁 - 当然很大程度上可以演出（记住演出？）。
清单的售价为149英镑。在orangeamps.com。
追逐幸福的泡沫
如果TC电子的同上对您来说太简单了，这可能是您的循环踏板。之间的合作追逐幸福和踏板示象/硬木桌爱好者旋钮，它提供了更高的循环方法，具有添加调制效果的能力并更普遍地修改了您录制的循环。凭借令人眼花and乱的功能，旋钮和DIP开关，这是一个成熟的循环工作站，应该让您忙于2021年。

黑星飞行3
For those separated from their regular rig, or who otherwise want something a bit smaller to play at home, the布莱克斯塔尔飞蝇是一个不错的选择。它的驱动器频道特别优于同类的其他任何其他人，没有听觉的效率，电池电量意味着您可以将其放到花园的尽头，以便在室外（还记得在外面吗？）果酱。

通用音频牛盒
如果您打算继续发挥100瓦的强大作用 -通用音频’s Ox Box can elevate your amp head to the next level, and make it a lot more lockdown friendly to boot. The Ox Box is a ‘reactive load box,’ meaning it replaces (or joins) your cabinet in your rig. It can run your amplifier through a high-class cabinet simulation, and feed that directly into a DAW or headphones. Either way, it means you can get great cranked amp sounds, recorded with extensively-modelled vintage microphones, without any volume leakage or noise complaints.
