Reno, NV, June 7, 2012 - Soundmatters www.soundmatters.com, the leader in high-quality, portable speaker technology founded by former NASA engineer/audio legend Dr. Godehard Guenther, announced today that the foxLTMv2 Bluetooth ultimate portable speaker is becoming the preferred portable traveling musical instrument practice "amp" used by leading rock musicians Jordan Rudess from Grammy-nominated Dream Theater, Richard Fortus from Guns N' Roses, and The Great Kat "Top 10 Fastest Shredders of All Time" - Guitar One Magazine. Not only is foxL an amazing portable hifi speaker for the general music loving public for music listening/movie watching at home, when traveling, biking, for business presentations, and as a speakerphone, but foxL is also increasingly being used by professional musicians at home and on the road for its audio performance quality and portability as a personal practice "amp."

 

 

 

Ideal Traveling Companion for iPads, Laptops, Smartphones AND Musical Instruments!

 

 

 

Jordan Rudess, world-renowned keyboardist of the Grammy-nominated progressive rock band, Dream Theater, used foxL on Dream Theater's recent Asian and European tours. Using his award-winning GeoSynth and SampleWiz apps to turn his iPad and iPhone into instruments, Rudess pipes music through his portable foxL allowing him to release his creativity anywhere, anytime for impromptu jamming on tour. "I was on a search for a speaker like this for a long time. Something I can keep in my bag, something I can take out at any time, whether I am on the street and want to jam with a street musician, or when I'm on my Steinway piano and want to simultaneously on my iPad play along.It's something I have with me everywhere I go." Rudess was so enamored with the foxL, he created a YouTube video at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zm1NhEmZ9ZQ.

 

 

 

Guns N' Roses guitarist Richard Fortus uses foxL as a portable "guitar amp." He uses foxL in conjunction with IK Multimedia's iRigTM, which he featured on a YouTube video. "Using foxL and the iRig in my hotel room or in the bus.I am sitting here in my back yard, so wherever you are, you can have your amp setup," said Richard Fortus, Guns N' Roses in the IK Multimedia iRig YouTube video at: http://www.ikmultimedia.com/irig/videodemo/index.php?movie=5 (see minute 6:10).

 

The Great Kat "Top 10 Fastest Shredders of All Time" - Guitar One Magazine, with over 1 million YouTube views, uses the portable foxL to shred wherever she goes, when a full-sized guitar stack amp would be impractical: warming up before recording sessions, at her NY City apartment, and on tour. "I use the foxL with my guitar plugged into my metal pedal and guitar processor to shred Beethoven, Bach, Paganini -- even 'The Flight of the Bumble-Bee' at 300 BPM with total articulation - Amazing!" said The Great Kat.
