Martin Behr and Moen Update



Moen is very proud to announce the endorsement of a most excellent player:












Endorser - Rock Guitarist Martin Behr From Germany:

We had mentioned him in an earlier post and you should see a link to his home site there as well. Truly a that gifted guitar player and now a Moen endorser as well! There will be more pics of his pedalboard to come that will incorporate the Moen Violent Metal and maybe some others.

Here is a little info on the official announcement and Martin's Bio:


Martin has released 2 instrumental CDs as a solo artist and is currently recording his third solo CD. He gigs with the Iron Maiden-Tribute-Band "KILLERZ" and the Rock-Band "Sunny Skies". Besides teaching, his schedule also includes playing live and studio sessions.
In 1992 he joined the Rock-Band BABY'S IN BLACK, who released the CD "Between" in 1995. After the breakup of REVERSE, he started working on his first solo-CD "Keeping the balance" which was released in 1994. His versatile profile and interest in different musicial styles got him some gigs with iranian singer/composer Siavash Ghomeyshi and he composed and recorded two soundtracks for the computer-games "MAX!" and "Mobility"; he even played dark wave with Danger de mort on two CDs and live.
In 1999 he realesed his second instrumental album "Law of the jungle" again featuring his favourite musicians Rolf Sander on bass and Alex Bisch (Martingan) on drums. Martin has played the german Jemfest three times, sharing the bill with shredding buddies Ricky Garcia (LaFee), Marcel Coenen (Sun Caged) and Eric Vandenberg (writer for "Guitar"-Mag). In 2002 he played guitar on the pop-rock album "Catwalk Autobahn" by Oliver Burg.
November 2008, Martin became MOEN Endorser.

The Moen "Uni-Comp" Bias Control Compressor


This weeks featured effect is Moen's Uni-Comp Compressor. This is a welcome addition to any one's effect arsenal. The Uni-Comp has been getting great player reviews from both guitar and bass player alike. It is really one of the best compressors out there and certainly in the price range of it's competitors. Single lines runs become clear and present and make those power chords sting as well. Some compressors simply "squeeze" the sound (and the volume). Not so with the Uni-Comp as it compresses with clarity and almost "zero" background noise. The Bias Knob features LED "clipping" and you can dial in the Bias that best suits you an your instrument. A must have for all most all styles of music... and effective for both Guitar and Bass.
**Note the Uni-Comp has been getting good reviews for bass applications and has been commented on through various bass talk forums. Definitely worth a look for all you bass players out there as well**
Check out the Moen UNI-COMP !!
