LAVA Music STUDIO Smart Guitar Amp & Multi FX

Sometimes, in this line of work, you get contacted by a company you’ve never heard of, and discover you’ve been missing out on something wildly unique and game-changing. Such is the case with today’s musical unit, the STUDIO Smart Guitar Amp from LAVA Music. Part amp, part effects rig, part recording studio and much, much more, this innovative piece of gear changes how you play, practice, record and create YOUR SOUND, and it’s a lot of fun along the way…

STUDIO is equipped with an audio interface system and a hardware control panel. It can connect to instruments, headphones, and mixers, and transmit audio to a computer via USB. LAVA STUDIO features a large screen + minimal buttons design: only two physical buttons, the Power Button and Volume Knob, are retained on the front. All other functions are controlled via the 13.3-inch touch display. The screen interface dynamically adjusts based on functional needs, free from the limitations of physical buttons. You can control functions by tapping and swiping, just like using a smartphone. The touch display uses a 1920×1080 Full HD resolution, supporting multi-touch and gestures. Even complex effects interfaces can display every parameter clearly.

STUDIO’s 6.35mm Instrument Input is designed for Hi-Z (High Impedance) unbalanced instruments, perfectly matching electric guitars, acoustic guitars, and electric basses. STUDIO provides two audio output methods: the 6.35mm Line Out on the back (for connecting to a mixer/PA system) and the 3.5mm Headphone Jack on the front (for private monitoring). Both outputs can be used simultaneously. Use the USB-C port for audio playback from a computer, such as playing backing tracks or reference audio.
You can record all audio signals into a computer. Recording has approximately 150ms of one-way latency. For latency-sensitive recording, using the 2× 6.35mm jack output ports on the back is recommended.

Let’s not forget about HILAVA, the operating system for LAVA STUDIO. It provides a complete software environment for your music creation. After powering on and entering HILAVA, you can use all of STUDIO’s software features: effects, recording, backing tracks, lessons, etc. There are so many musical options here – the best way to understand them all is to visit the LAVA Music website and check out the extensive manual. Thanks so much to those guys for sending this incredible unit over for me to check out – don’t miss our demo over on YouTube, and stay tuned for more gear coming from LAVA Music soon…STAY TUNED!!
