7. A gift for: The minimalist musician!

Christmas gifts are even better when they are unexpected, unique, and super useful all at once!

How about all of those compact in the form of a cable?

These cables are anything but normal. They are actually more of a pre-amp, with varies tones stored inside the cables head!

Crazy, right? But totally perfect for the minimalist.

Imagine this: you’re running to a friends open mic last minute and don’t feel like lugging a pre-amp with you. The sound there is hit and miss and your friends are always going to Instagram your performance! Take control of your sound and quality with two simple steps: plug in and play!
